Mar del Plata to PUERTO MADRYN by Overnight Bus | Argentina Travel Vlog

Video Description

Our travels across Argentina continue. In this video, we begin another long overnight bus journey from the city of Mar del Plata to Puerto Madryn, where we get our first taste of coastal Patagonia! In terms of bus rides in Argentina, this was our longest one yet leaving at 8PM and not arriving until the following day at 1PM. All in all a 17 hour trip with Don Otto which cost $64 per person. We kick off the travel vlog with a tour of our $45 apartment in Mar Del Plata. We honestly loved this place in terms of location, views, fast internet and comfort. Afterwards we hopped in a cab en route to Mar Del Plata bus terminal. For our big meal of the day we grabbed a milanesa napolitana and a slice of lemon pie to share at a cafe. We had a small snack box for dinner before watching a movie on the bus. It was comfortable on the bus but it was a really long journey which ended up extending to 18 or 19 hours. Upon arriving in Puerto Madryn we grabbed empanadas for lunch and then shrimp pizza for dinner with ice cream afterwards. * * * * * * * * * * * * GEAR WE USE Panasonic GH5: http://amzn.to/2yqTUyi Canon G7X ii: http://amzn.to/2yqtM6B Rode Video Micro: http://amzn.to/2wTguTM Joby Gorilla Pod: http://amzn.to/1PgoY5F SanDisk 16GB Extreme Pro: http://amzn.to/25KEErs * * * * * * * * * * * * SOCIAL MEDIA & TRAVEL BLOGS AUDREY: blog: http://thatbackpacker.com/ instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thatbackpacker/ facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thatbackpacker twitter: https://twitter.com/ThatBackpacker SAMUEL: blog: http://nomadicsamuel.com/ facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nomadicsamuel twitter: https://twitter.com/NomadicSamuel instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nomadicsamuel/ * * * * * * * * * * * * Argentina Travel Vlog | Mar del Plata to Puerto Madryn Bus Ride : Hey guys! We are Samuel and Audrey, a travel vlogging couple from Canada. In this travel channel we share our travel and food vlogs while touring the world. We had the privilege of traveling around Argentina for nearly 3 months from January- April 2019 on a trip covering a large section of the country. We kicked things off with several days in Buenos Aires where we were joined by Audrey's parents eating and sightseeing around some of our favourite neighbourhoods in the city. We then flew from Buenos Aires to Cordoba where we spent a couple of weeks in the Sierras of Cordoba visiting both La Cumbrecita and Villa General Belgrano with highlights including hiking and delicious German and Swiss cuisine. From Cordoba, we then travelled a considerable distance on an overnight bus to Mar Del Plata just in time for a special food festival called Feria Masticar featuring the best of Argentine food and wine. We spent several days enjoying beaches and seafood before heading south to Patagonia to visit the province of Chubut. While on the Atlantic side of Chubut we visited Puerto Madryn, Peninsula Valdes, Trelew, Gaiman and Dolavon. To summarize our time in this area, we had incredibly close encounters with wildlife including penguins, sea lions and guanacos while also experiencing Welsh culture in Argentina. Our time in Patagonia continued as we headed from east to west trading more barren landscapes for thick forests, impressive mountains and magnificent lakes. We spent significant time in both Esquel and El Bolson with day trips to visit Trevelin, Parque Nacional Los Alerces, Cholila and Lago Puelo. Highlights included sailing, hiking, riding vintage trains and partaking in the national asado festival. We finished visiting Patagonia with time spent in Villa La Angostura, San Martin De Los Andes and Bariloche where we enjoyed more stunning scenery and hiking. On our way back to Buenos Aires, we took the Tren Patagonia to Las Grutas before meeting up with Audrey's dad again. To finish off our trip in Argentina, we spent more time in the capital and later Mendoza where we got to experience wine tourism to its fullest extent. Overall, we had an amazing time travelling around Argentina having only scratched the surface of this vast and diverse country. Overall our Argentina travel series explores cities, small towns that are off-the-beaten-path, and scenic attractions with a strong emphasis on Argentina cuisine and local culture. * * * * * * * * * * * * If you're new to our channel or this Argentina series please check out the following playlists to get caught up on all of our videos: All of our Argentina travel + food videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-NQ0KYodq5PhZWxGB15SbFqFBaKMts2- * * * * * * * * * * * * Music We Use: http://bit.ly/SamAudreyMusic
