Why my friends recommended me to stop in San Miguel de Tucuman?
Definitely for the atmosphere. Tucuman is calm and vivid at the same
time, a great place to relax a bit with the Andes Mountains in the background.
I arrived in the morning to San Miguel de Tucuman after a tiring 15 hours of bus journey from Buenos Aires. I was so tired, but meeting with the tourist information attendant right at the bus station was refreshing. He was so kind and explained me all the places. He even helped me to find the best trip for the next day.
After finding a cozy hostel I walked around in the city a bit. Tucuman is calm and cozy. I saw the Independence House. This is where the
independence of the country was proclaimed in 1816.

Then I was walking in the Centre to check out the most important buildings of the city.

| Basilica de la Nuestra Senora de Merced |
 |
| Catedral de San Miguel de Tucuman |
 |
| Basilica de San Francisco |
 |
| Municipality |
I randomly choose the
hostel where I was staying for 2 nights.
Surprisingly I met
here a lot of European folks who were also traveling around in
South-America. This place is the best to share ideas, experiences and
give advices what is worth visiting and what is not. Thanks to Florian,
Simon and all the ladies and Spanish guys, we had a really good time at
the backyard of the hostel that afternoon.

Tip:
In Tucuman try the '
empanada' which they say
is best here. (Of course every region says that their empanada is the
best!) The classic one is filled with beef, but as I love cheese, those
were my favourites. In a little town close to Tucuman, called Famaillá,
every year they choose the Queen of the Empanada, who will hold this
prestigious title for one year.
