Part 3/8:
Each culinary experience throughout my journey would reflect the local culture, and that was epitomized by the traditional Argentine asado, or barbecue. I attended a local asado where grilled meats were the stars of the show. One cultural note is that Argentines dine quite late, often around 1:00 AM, leading me to fall into a food coma after savoring the rich flavors of the meal.
The following day was dedicated to caffeine, as I enjoyed a morning coffee before meeting a friend for lunch at a renowned steakhouse. A mere coffee to energize me was enough before my flight to El Calafate, the gateway to Patagonia. The flight lasted about three and a half hours and arrived as darkness fell, setting the stage for the breathtaking adventures that lay ahead.
