Newsletter February 2012


Dear Family and Friends,

We hope this Newsletter finds you well and in good spirits. This is our first Newsletter for 2012 and we are looking forward to be sharing a lot of news and updates with you this coming year.

The `high` season in Argentina is rapidly coming to an end. Schools will be starting soon and life will be getting back to normal for families and for our little town. Last weekend our town hosted the annual carnival `Carnavales del rió`. This weekend was dedicated to carnival celebrations all over Argentina – a long weekend dedicated to celebrations! I love Argentina! Did I mention that this coming weekend is another long weekend? Seriously! People are actually joking about it but it is all to promote tourism and to give people an opportunity to take a break and get away from the stress in the cities. I think it is a good idea.

The Carnival was great fun! I went on the Friday night with a couple from Germany. The costumes were beautiful and the music intoxicating. Before I knew it, I was tapping my feet to the beat of the music. Things got wet and wild early on in the evening. Children armed with little spray cans, filled with foam, went crazy and zapped each and every person they could lay their eyes on. Nothing and nobody was spared, not even policemen. That got some of the children in trouble and rightly so!

I am including photos of the event (Please click on the link below).

January was a busy month for us and this year we hosted more families with children. We had a family here from Minnesota, USA, with three little ones! The baby, Claire, was subject to many cuddles and Andrey and I couldn`t stop squeezing her. She is adorable! They surprised us by coming back and staying with us for 1 more night before they flew back to a very cold Minnesota!

We had many warm and wonderful sunny days and people crowded the local `beaches`. I took a trip to Playa Miami (Miami Beach) and couldn`t believe my eyes when I saw all the people! It was difficult to believe that so many people can squeeze onto such a tiny piece of sand.

Warm weather also means time for a braai (barbeque or asado, as they call it here). One evening we got invivted by our guests to a barbeque and we had such a memorable evening! One of our guests, Pichi, donated an outside light to Hostel Tinktinkie. Now we have light outside and an evening around the fire is more enjoyable. We call it Pichi-Light. Thank you Pichi, may this light shine bright and always remind us of this memorable evening our group had together.

Santa Rosa de Calamuchita: The Waterfall (La Cascada)

One of the places that we recommend to visit in Santa Rosa de Calamuchita is the waterfall. It is an easy hike which could take anything from 50 minutes to an hour. There are two hiking routes which are clearly marked. Both of them lead to the waterfall but vary in difficulty.

Hiking routes to the waterfall

This hike can be enjoyed by the whole family and we have had people here at the Hostel who took a 2 year old with them. Obviously the hike will take longer and you will have to carry the little one in some places.

There are seats available right in front of the waterfall to enjoy the view. Trees provide nice shade and this hike can also be enjoyed on a hot day.

The waterfall does not have a lot of water during winter and a low rain season. But it is never completely dry and you will still be able to enjoy the hike. My favourite time of the year to hike there is during the summer months when everything is green!

Entrance to the waterfall can be a little tricky. You will find a sign (Restaurante Águila) in Ruta 5 close to the Petrobras station. Right at the top of the road is a restaurant where you can park your car or bicycle. Climb through the fence (It is fenced off for the cows) and start your walk. Entrance is normally free but during the high season an entrance fee of 2 pesos are charged.

En medio de las Sierras Grandes frente a Santa Rosa de Calamuchita podemos disfrutar de un salto de agua de una arroyo en medio de la Quebrada.

Para acceder a ella debemos ir por la Ruta nº 5 y pasar unos 100 mts la estación de servicios Petrobras (en sentido norte – sur) y a mano izquierda veremos un cartel que indica Restaurant “El Águila”.

Tomamos ese camino y a unos 1000 mts encontraremos un playón de estacionamiento. Desde allí comienza el recorrido a píe de unos 50 min. aprox.

Land Hunting!

Andrey and I were sitting in Buenos Aires one night and we were discussing what we were looking for in land. I remember our conversation very well. Andrey wanted land close to mountains and a river. We also wanted the land to be in a touristy part of Argentina but not too busy. We wanted to be in nature. We did discuss the possibility to buy a house and renovate it, but it would not be what we wanted. Andrey also loved getting involved in the actual building process.

We were talking to some friends and they told us about the Calamuchita Valley and in particular Santa Rosa De Calamuchita. It is a very popular holiday destination for locals. The Santa Rosa river runs through it, mountains on either side of the valley and a Mediterranean climate . I was already impressed. We bought a map and started to land hunt on the Internet. This was not an easy task. The reason was that prices advertised were not the true prices or some people never bothered to reply to emails. We started to make a list of all the land available and we made a short list. We narrowed it down to Merlo in the San Luis province and Santa Rosa De Calamuchita in the Cordoba Province. We made appointments with the land owners and set off to Carpinteria first. We were very close to Merlo and some smaller towns in the area.

I loved Carpinteria but it was a very small town. There was no bank or supermarket. There were a lot of land available but people wanted ridiculous prices. The nature was beautiful. I am sure in time this will become a very popular tourist destination but it did not quite suit our needs. We also met a German woman who wanted to sell a large piece of land but she was in no hurry to sell.

Villa Elena was really beautiful and unspoilt. But you had to drive in to Merlo every time you wanted something. Buses were also not passing on a regular basis. We spent the day hiking and enquiring about land. We had a wonderful time. We attended an art exhibition in Merlo the next day and then we spent one last day exploring Merlo. The weather changed rapidly and the next morning it was snowing!

We said goodbye to the San Luis province and left over the mountain to the Cordoba province.We both loved the town. We took a couple of trips to the surrounding towns and explored touristy places like Villa General Belgrano and La Cumbrecita. Now to find something that will suit our pockets!
