Desayuno en el Hotel.

Traslado a la estación de trenes de Milán para abordar tren con destino a Venecia.
Llegada a Venecia y visita de la ciudad.

¿Qué ver en Venecia? “Perderse por sus estrechas calles y canales es la mejor forma de conocer lo más bonito de la ciudad”.

Moverse por Venecia puede resultar una experiencia curiosa, pues los autobuses y los taxis son barcos. Los vaporetti, traghetti, acua-taxis y góndolas están a toda hora a disposición del visitante. Sin embargo, lo más común en Venecia es recorrerla a pie, y perderse… pues de nada nos servirán los mapas en sus complicadas calles…

Admiraremos El Gran Canal, la Piazza San Marco,
la Basilica de San Marco, el puente de Rialto, etc.

Por la tarde regresaremos en tren hasta Treviso donde nos estarán esperando para llevarnos a nuestro hotel.
Cena y alojamiento en Hotel Relais Monaco (Ponzano, Treviso)

DIA 06: TREVISO

Traslado a Treviso y visita de la ciudad.
Treviso, piccola Venecia o ciudad “cortés” como la llamaban los poetas. Tranquila, limpísima, encantadora! Corazón de la ciudad y lugar de encuentro de los trevigiani es la Piazza dei Signori con su Palazzo dei Trecento y la elegante Loggia dei Cavalieri.

Los ríos Sile y Cagnan se insinuan entre las calles de la ciudad y donan
un atractivo único al casco antiguo, encerrado por antiquísimos muros.
Los pórticos de las casas asomados sobre el canal de los Buranelli y
la isla della Pescheria (levantada sobre el río Cagnan para alojar
el mercado del pescado), dan cuenta de la estrecha unión de Treviso con sus aguas.

Veremos el Duomo, recorreremos sus estrechas callecitas sin prisa siguiendo los cursos de agua y, si el tiempo alcanza, nos sentaremos a tomar un típico “prosecco” en uno de sus cafés (no incluído en el precio).
Por la tarde, clase de cocina en el Hotel Relais Monaco, acompañados del chef Domenico (medalla de Plata de la Copa
de Pastelería Mundial de Lyon, Francia),con productos típicos de la
región trevigiana.

Por la tarde visitaremos la ciudad.
Bologna, situada en el  norte del país, es una de las ciudades históricas mejor conservadas de Europa. De hecho, cuenta con el segundo casco antiguo medieval más grande del viejo continente (después del de Venecia).

Al ser una ciudad que se mantiene dentro de unos márgenes aceptables en cuanto a su tamaño (tiene menos de 400.000 habitantes) y disponer de un centro histórico bien demarcado resulta ideal, partiendo de la Plaza Mayor que está en el centro geográfico, recorrer de manera radial las calles principales de la ciudad.

Recorreremos el área del mercado medieval, la plaza Maggiore, la plaza Mayor y la fuente del dios Nettuno, Iglesia de San Domingo, El Archiginnasio, que es uno de los palacios más importantes de la ciudad de Bologna: otrora sede de la antigua Universidad, hoy sede de la Biblioteca Comunal del Archiginnasio.

Luego, continuaremos hacia la Acetaia Leonardi. Aprenderemos un poco más sobre este famoso vinagre: su tiempo de maduración, la cantidad de trasvases, la calidad de la madera de los toneles, el clima necesario para obtener el mejor aceto, etc. Probaremos distintos acetos de diferentes cosechas y al finalizar la visita disfrutaremos de una abundante degustación de quesos, fiambres, acetos y vino!!!

A las 14:30 completaremos nuestra experiencia eno-gastronómica cultural
dirigiéndonos hacia la zona del Lambrusco, famoso vino italiano que

que desciende en el alma

como una purificación
y le da la ilusión de revivir días
inmaculados…

dedicado a escultura y pintura. La Academia de Bellas Artes fue fundada
en 1563. La colección se formó en 1784 para ofrecer a los estudiantes
de dibujo material de estudio. En 1873 se trasladó la estatua de
David desde la Plaza de la Señoría hasta la Academia.

La primera sala tiene obras de los siglos XV y XVI y, en el centro,
la terracota de Juan de Bolonia, modelo del Rapto de las sabinas que se
alberga en la loggia de la Signoría. En esta terracota se aprecia bien el
bello movimiento helicoidal que dio Juan de Bolonia a esta composición
escultórica.

Luego se pasa a la galería de Miguel Ángel. Ahí se encuentran cuatro
prisioneros (prigioni) esculpidos entre 1521 y 1523 y destinados a la
tumba de Julio II. Las obras, sin terminar, sorprenden al visitante, porque
de la piedra pesada parecen intentar salir, hercúleas, las figuras
inacabadas. Un esbozo de San Mateo y una Pietá, también inacabada
(y con obra de algún otro artista también) preceden al gigantesco David.

Luego nos encontraremos con el chofer y la guía
para descubrir Lucca & Pisa.

En Lucca -ciudad renombrada por sus murallas con majestuosas verjas
y arquitrabes- nuestra acompañante nos llevará hacia el magnífico casco antiguo para admirar, por ejemplo, la “Plaza del Anfiteatro”,
la “Torre Guinigi”, la “Catedral de San Martino” y, por fin, la pintoresca
calle de sus tiendas tradicionales.

para deleitarnos con el “Baptisterio” y con su “Torre Pendiente”,

Bariloche, Argentina

Bariloche, Located in Argentina Patagonia this small city is well known for its architectural beauty -resembles a Swiss village with its wooden facades – and for its privileged location, a region surrounded by landscape of hills, evergreen forests, snowcapped peaks, lakes, glaciers and exuberant flora.
The city extends over several miles on the shores of Nahuel Huapi Lake. The Bustillo Avenue runs along these miles and reaches the Peninsula, where the imposing Llao Llao Hotel is located, and also Puerto Pañuelos, departing point from excursions to Victoria Island and other charming places of the Nahuel Huapi Lake. 

Crossing of the Lakes or Lake Crossing
This is an excursion not to be missed and the best part is that it is available all year round.
The starting point is Puerto Frías, located at one of the ends of the lake of the same name. All customs proceedings are carried out there in order to cross to the neighboring country. The vegetation becomes lush, typical of the Valdivian rainforest. This environment, very similar to the subtropical sceneries, has a high rainfall regime encouraging the development of great tree groves such as larches, cypress, oaks and cinnamon trees, to name but a few.
After sailing for nearly 4 kilometers, you will reach the border through the Pérez Rosales Pass. The first Chilean district is Peulla, located 28 kilometers from this pass.

The way is impressive by the leafy evergreen vegetation with wild colorful flowers and giant trees sometimes hiding the sky and not allowing sunshine to come through; it is a real forest worth to know it. Peulla is a small settlement with a little more than 800 inhabitants which, as well as a customs post, offers hotels and restaurant services.

Very close to this district lies Peulla Port, where the lake circuit is resumed, and this time towards Lake Todos los Santos or Lake Esmeralda.
Here again you will be surprised by the exuberant vegetation of its coasts and the green emerald color of its waters, the presence of the Puntiagudo Volcano of 2493 ms with their snowcapped peaks, the Mount Techado, the Margarita Island and the snows of the hills surrounding the lake. At the end of the tour, 2,652-meter-high Osorno Vocano may also be made out.
Petrohué is the arrival port of the excursion and the seat for the administrative venue of the Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park. From there you will start the Petrohué River falls tour, a great attraction place due to the wonderful seven water falls of the River emptying into the Todos los Santos Lake.
A few kilometers away from the Petrohué falls, stands Ensenada, a small district resting on the slopes of the Osorno Volcano which offers lodges, restaurants and several sport activities. From here you will continue by the asphalted route and with a landscape of great beauty, you will arrive at Lago Llanquihue. At your right, you will enjoy the green fields, typical wood constructions and agricultural-cattle establishments, in these astonished 64 km to the city of Puerto Varas. The beaches surrounded by the vegetation of this area complete the beautiful panoramic sight on the other side of the mountain range.

San Martín de los Andes – Road of the Seven Lakes
This full day excursion leaves Bariloche northwards along National Route 237, for 21 km until you meet secondary route F. This is a winding road, with natural beauty all around. You go past Manzano Port and arrive in Villa La Angostura. Once you left the village behind, you will be on the Seven Lakes Road: these lakes are: Correntoso, Espejo, Villarino, Falkner, Hermoso, Machónico, and Meliquina. Finally, you arrive in San Martín de los Andes on the shores of Lácar Lake. The return trip to Bariloche can be through Paso Córdoba or along National Route 40 via Junín de los Andes and La  Rinconada.

Teatro Colon (Colon Theatre) Buenos Aires

The theater opened on May 25, 1908, the Día de la patria (Motherland Day) in Argentina, with a performance of Verdi’s Aida. It quickly became a world-famous operatic venue rivaling La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera in attracting artists.

 

With excellent acoustics and modern stage areas, the theater’s interior design features a rich scarlet and gold decor. The cupola contains frescoes painted in 1966 by the renowned 20th century artist Raul Soldi.

Ever since the staging of Aída, various figures performed on this prodigious stage. Dance and ballet artists played their roles here and not only did they leave a long-lasting mark but also found in most cases the top roof of their careers thanks to the theater. Celebrities like Arturo Toscanini, Enrico Caruso and Titta Rufo, Richard Strauss and Arthur Nikisch, Lily Pons, Igor Stravinsky, María Callas and Maia Plissetskaya, to name a few, have accounted for what the Colón represented.

Luciano Pavarotti, considered by many as the greatest tenor in history, said about the theater: “…it has a very big defect, its acoustic is simply perfect. Imagine what that means for a singer: if one makes a mistake, it is noticed immediately …”

Plácido Domingo, another great tenor of the XX century, reviewed: “…what has impressed me most about the Colón Theater has always been its orchestra and its choir, as well as the wonderful workshops that work out any problem in a matter of minutes. The Colón is a marvelous theater, I would say it cannot be compared to any other theater in the world, because in addition to its artistic history, only masterpieces have been presented in its stage ever since its inauguration”.

Ushuaia, the end of the world

Ushuaia is placed in front of the Beagle channel and surrounded by the Martial Mountains, it is the southernmost city of the world.The combination of mountains, forest and sea turn it in a unique city of Argentina. An irregular topography imprints a picturesque appearance, adding the colorful houses made mainly of wood and corrugated iron. It is surrounded by a series of Natural Protected Areas as The Tierra del Fuego National Park, Playa Larga, Tierra Mayor, etc, and is the most active gateway to Antarctica. It is the southernmost urban area in the world, a source of inspiration and challenges, land of myths and legends made up for centuries, even for those who have never been to the south of the south.

Tierra del Fuego National Park
Cruises to Antarctica, the Falkland Islands, or to the Chilean fjords often stopover in Ushuaia, Argentina for the day. Although exploring the touristy town can be interesting, it is recommended a day trip to nearby Tierra del Fuego National Park.

Located in southwestern Tierra del Fuego province, over the borderline with Chile, this National Park is the southernmost example of the Andean – Patagonian forest. It was created in 1960 and has a surface of 63.000 hectares.
In this area the final part of the Andes features a northwest – southeast orientation. The peaks alternate with valleys where there are rivers and glacial originated lakes. Two types of forests predominate here: those of Lenga and Guindo trees, with an open underwood mainly consisting of moss and fern. In the spaces within the forests there is plenty of peat in very humid, flooded areas where the sphagnum moss grows.
On the sea shore, the two great bays (Lapataia and Ensenada) deploy in gorges and beaches that are full of white cauquenes. There are also black eyebrowed albatross (over two meters long) who cohabit with the steam duck and the diving petrel. There is also a rare kind of otter named chungungo.
Other species are the guanaco and a particular Tierra del Fuego variety of red fox.

The Park possesses many excursion trails, some of them: Pampa Alt

a Trail, Costera Trail, and Las Lengas Trail, paths that allow you to reach the bay areas of the park and the hills, from which you can see the beautiful view of the Beagle Channel and the mountain chain of Tierra del Fuego.
Parts of the two main lakes, the Fagnano and the Roca, and other minor ones, sprinkle into the park area, which also embraces a stretch of the Olivia, Pipo, and Roca rivers. These rivers flow into the waters of Lake Roca in the Lapataia Bay. 

The train of the End of the World is another of Ushuaia attractions.
An elegant and antique formation of heated wagons, with wide windows and pulled by a steam locomotive, will take you along an 8 Km. long tour departing from the End of World Station up to the Tierra del Fuego National Park Station. The round trip total time is approximately of 1 hour 40 minutes.
Most of the way you will go bordering River Pipo. You will see a reconstruction of a yámana settlement (aborigines of the region), when you enter into a dense and beautiful wood of cohiues and lengas it will mean you are already inside the National Park.

 

 

Beagle Channel Navigation
When you begin to get away from the bay, you will have a better glimpse of the portrait of the shore: the Museum of the End of the World, the Marítimo and, behind the hamlet, the majestic Mounts Olivia, Cinco Hermanos and Escarpados.
Later you will approach Casco Island, to watch a colony of imperial shags and terns. From that point onwards, the route across the Beagle Channel starts heading towards the Bridges Islands, so-called by the first pioneer in Ushuaia, who named the nearby islets after his daughters. On Alicia Island, you will find imperial shags once again and South American sea lions.

 

You will pass towards Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse nestled inside the archipelago bearing the same name. Due to its location, this is the southernmost Argentinean lighthouse. Very close, lie some remains of the Monte Cervantes boat, which sank in 1930. Your tour continues towards Isla de los Lobos (Sea Lions’ Island) dwelled by these mammals, which will pry around the boat.
On the way back, the boat passes by other islands where rock and imperial shags flutter about in the company of albatross and petrels, among other sea bird species.

Salta, which is probably the town with the largest number of colonial remains in the whole country. The life in Salta treasures some of the rhythm of centuries ago. People live with no rush and the “siesta” (nap) remains in use.
The tourist circuit of the city of Salta is usually accomplished with a stroll across the centre of the city, allowed for by the short distances between the historical monuments. You must not neglect a visit to the Cerro San Bernardo Hill and behold from its crest the extraordinary panorama of the city. By day or night it constitutes a real spectacle in itself.

 

Calchaquíes Valleys

This immense extension of land including the provinces of Catamarca, Tucumán, and Salta offers a marvelous landscape, winding roads, and coloured hillsides. In each of the small villages lying in the valleys, our ancestors seem to have left their traces engraved on the rocks.

Located at 1,660 m above sea level, Cafayate is well known because of its famous torrontes wine product of the exquisite combination of temperature and humidity that provides the ideal environment to the growth of the sweet and deep fruit flavor. Winner of various gold and silver medals in international competitions, the bodegas produces also other types: cabernet, chardonnay, malbec, but to name a few.
Getting to know Cafayate’s streets, its houses and mainly its people is a pleasant experience due to the fact that tourism is an important activity for the town.

You cannot miss to observe the unique architecture of the Cathedral, the flowery main square, the picturesque stone mill or the wine museums.

Among other interesting excursions, you can visit wine cellars, taste wines, and get to know colorful Las Conchas gorge or go for a stroll among Quilmes ruins while enjoying the outstanding waterfalls of Colorado River or Santa Teresita Hill.

 

 

Humahuaca Gore & Salt Flats
Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2003, the Humahuaca Gorge is a vast, multi-coloured valley in the Andes. The towns in the valley preserve the legacy of the area’s original settlers and the Spanish conquistadors after them. This is reflected in the local architecture, archeological digs, music, food, festivals and handcrafts.

 

The highlights of this zone are:

Purmamarca: Located at the foot of the famous Cerro de los Siete Colores (Seven Coloured Hill), this is one of Jujuy’s most picturesque towns. Don’t miss the Santa Rosa de Lima church, the Paseo de los Colorados walk and the archeological site at Huachichocana.

Tilcara: the archeology capital of Jujuy and one of the most frequented tourist destinations in the Northwest. Explore this beautiful town by bike, horse or llama and visit the Pucará de Tilcara pre-hispanic fort. Tilcara hosts a vibrant carnival and a festival in honour of Mother Nature.

Humahuaca: starting point for visiting the Humahuaca Gorge, main access point to the Puna steppe and home to the Coctaca ruins. In the Summer, Humahuaca comes to life for eight days of solid Carnival.

 

 

Iruya: surrounded by breathtaking scenery, this traditional mountain village in the province of Salta is a great spot for viewing condors. Visit the Titiconte ruins and have lunch with the indigenous families of San Isidro and San Juan.Salinas Grandes (Salt Flats): occupying 212 Km² of the Puna area between the provinces of Jujuy and Salta, the Salinas Grandes are considered to be the third largest salt flats in the world. At 3500masl, they are one of the absolute highlights of Northern Argentina. For most of the year they are bright white in colour. When it rains and the salt plains are covered with water, they turn turquoise.

Buenos Aires for romance

Buenos Aires Tips!

Buenos Aires has always been famous for its incredible cultural offer.
Cinemas, theatres and shows provide an unlimited variety of options for entertainment. Like every big city, Buenos Aires has a thriving theater scene. The ‘Broadway’ of Buenos Aires is the section of Avenida Corrientes that’s between Avenida 9 de Julio and Callao. Most of the city’s 40-odd theaters are located here. Dramas, musical comedies, “teatro de revistas” (a sort of revue), and tango shows, are some of the proposals for all ages, all year round.
Both cinema and theatre represent two very important activities for the porteños. Currently, there are about 175 theatres, 200 cinemas and many Tango Shows.
Tango has been exported to the world, but many enthusiasts in other countries move mountains to come here, to the acknowledged beating heart of tango, to learn from the masters!

 The city of Buenos Aires holds more than 3,500 restaurants, ranging from the most sophisticated traditional and ethnic restaurants to bars, pubs and international chains of fast food restaurants.

The classical parrillas offering Argentine roasted meat abound, even in the sidewalks. Buenos Aires is just the place to taste all kinds of meals from different countries of the world. Corrientes avenue is the ideal place to taste an excellent pizza. Dining in Buenos Aires is an art, a passion, and a pastime. Sobremesa (chatting over wine or coffee long after the table has been cleared) is as much of an event as the meal itself.

Estancias, or ranches, play a huge part in Argentina’s culture and economy. In the early days these establishments were responsible for making Argentina one of the biggest meat and grain producers in world. Dotted around the vast, flat pampa we find delightful old estancias, which continue to retain their colonial elegance and charm. Perfectly juxtaposed with the cosmopolitan Buenos Aires, the estancias offer a chance to step back in time and imagine life as it was generations ago. Here one can relax, ride, watch the gauchos at work and enjoy an authentic – unbeatable Argentinian barbecue.
Estancias also give tourists the rare opportunity to stay as a guest at a working estancia in order to experience the unique gaucho ranch culture in a tranquil and beautiful setting of untamed countryside. Most estancias are over two hundred years old and still maintain traditional practices and values.

Buenos Aires is a city characterized by the multiplicity of its artistic expressions, ranging from the great assortment of sculptures and monuments to streets and corners that surprise the visitor with their allegorical reliefs and murals.

The classical buildings in Buenos Aires are a mix of architectural styles (particularly French and Italian), as you would expect in a city of immigrants. Many of them were built during the boom years of 1880 to 1920, which means that many of them are built in the neoclassical style that was popular around the world at that time..

Of course the architecture in Buenos Aires isn’t all classical. There are art nouveau and art deco buildings too, dilapidated colonial houses in San Telmo, colorful shacks around La Boca’s Caminito and gleaming towers in Puerto Madero. They’re all part of the mix.

Buenos Aires has a flourishing book industry, one of the most competitive in Latin America, owing to the amount of books published every year as well as to the quality of the publications. That is why Buenos Aires is one of the cities concentrating more bookstores. Often referred to as ciudad de libros (city of books), Buenos Aires has a rich literary history and culture that inspires residents and visitors alike to explore the shelves of its charming bookstores.

For those who admire or collect pieces of art there are wonderful galleries and art museums where works by Argentine and foreign artists may be admired. There is a great variety of museums. At present, there are more than 100 museums, both public and private.
