maybe they don't like my song oh my  gosh they're running away if anything  

so yeah we are currently driving to villa alpina  argentina it's 18 kilometers off the paved road  

we've been driving for a while we're not quite  sure how close we are because the dirt roads  

force you to go a lot slower but yeah we just keep  stopping along the road wherever there's a nice  

lookout wherever we encounter cows and horses  and yeah i think we're at least halfway there

do

well hello hello guys and welcome to villa  alpina the name it means alpine village yeah  

quite accurate i used to say we had to drive  18 kilometers on dirt roads to get here so yeah  

quite isolated it's not too far from where we're  staying in terms of kilometers but uh the road it  

took a long time yeah you gotta take it easy yeah  probably close to 40 minutes just like winding  

through the mountains yeah but it looks like a  beautiful quiet little village exactly a small a  

small population but a beautiful setting fantastic  place to go hiking to just wander around the town  

to experience uh you know farm animals too i mean  there's horses there's houses there's cows there's  

mules i think i've seen some sheep as well goats  goats i should say yeah and so it's uh it's just  

a fantastic place to be visiting especially if you  like kind of like tranquil destinations with a lot  

of nature and yeah we can't wait to explore the  little town and also maybe to do a little hike and  

we should also talk about what we did yesterday  we did a little bit of filming yeah just a little  

bit yesterday was mostly about errands but aside  from that we also visited the town of los reyes  

where there is a river that runs through the town  and it was the perfect place to visit yesterday  

because it was so hot the most refreshing place to  just dip your feet in we just rolled up our pants  

kicked off our shoes thank you considering  this is just the start of spring the the  

temperature of the river was reasonable like  you could actually you could go swimming and  

in the summer you would definitely go swimming to  cool off yeah and so yeah we've got a beautiful  

day there's not going to be any rain it's just  a little bit of cloud lots of sun and we plan  

to you know check this place out and also hope  we hope to visit some other spots nearby as well

so

um

so this town is more of a place that you come to  experience it doesn't have tourist attractions per  

se but one of them is hiking to el champaqui which  is a six to eight hour hike we actually saw quite  

a few vans a drive into town and like unload  a bunch of hikers and then they're gonna make  

their way up the mountain so that's one thing that  you can do here and then there's also a river that  

runs through the town so right now we're walking  down to the river because we feel like we need to  

cool down just a little bit so it's all downhill  which has been relatively easy but on the way back  

i have a feeling it's gonna be a  bit harder it's all steep in the sun

well guys i can tell you that my hiking boots are  waterproof i don't feel the water on my socks or  

toes good purchase yeah mine are not okay mine  are sandals and you're you're yours are perfect  

for this but definitely not waterproof my feet are  waterproof that's good enough for me flippers so  

sam what have you learned about this town what can  you tell us well i can tell you a few different  

things firstly locals are extremely friendly  we've had about two or three conversations well  

you and your dad have with locals in spanish  and um i'm ready to tell you the grand total  

of the sprawling metropolis are you ready for  it i'm ready for it three zero thirty people  

it's incredible for anyone who likes nature peace  

tranquility and a little bit of elbow room  from your neighbors yeah you can't beat villa  

alpina argentina and there's a lot to do here  so you take this little serpentine path and  

you come down to the river and there's also a  little footbridge you can walk across too so  

so far and the impressions of this little  town have been extremely favorable i mean  

to visit it on a nice beautiful day like this  has been you know nothing short of ideal and um  

yeah man like what uh what a little hidden gem out  here in the sierras of cordoba argentina for sure

so

do

hello guys lunchtime finally it is  lunch time past three o'clock 3 30 3 30.  

this is a new record for me not feeding audrey  till three we had a long day in villa alpina a  

really nice town but they don't really  have any restaurants like it's so small  

30 inhabitants it's not set up for lots of  tourism like most of the people who go there  

are hiking serochampaqui which is the highest  peak in the province of cordoba argentina yeah  

but people typically go you know prepared they've  got all their gear their meals their tent yeah  

that little area is very peaceful beautiful just  a few locals and uh sheep goats like that so now  

we're sitting down at a nice german german themed  restaurant here yeah it's called belgrano rojo  

the red deer we've been here once before many  years yeah well three four years ago i think we  

took my parents here yeah maybe yeah and we're  gonna have lunch we are so hungry we're waiting  

for the food to show up and we'll show you that  in a minute this restaurant have been operating  

here for the past 60 or 70 years i remember when  i was a child and we used to come summertime over  

here the restaurant was one of the first ones in  the town it's a very very uh old landmark here  

lunchtime food is here i went for a classic i  got the knuck burst which is a thick sausage  

i guess that name because they say that when you  bite into it or you cut into it it sounds like  

knuck because the skin is so thick  so yeah it has like a crunch to it  

yeah as my side i got the chukuru yeah which is  basically like sour cream it's a fermented cabbage  

with little bits of bacon and ham it's just a  classic german dish how are you enjoying the  

goulash it's really good yeah yeah nice and hearty  nice and fresh and hearty and uh hand rolled  

noodles handmade the rolled noodles yeah a little  cheese is a garlic parmesan on top beautiful dish  

nice and hearty and i mean for us to go this long  without lunch unfortunately that's unheard of

we're eating since breakfast this morning yeah  yeah four o'clock we only we have breakfast at  

like uh nine o'clock yep so we were hungry today  yeah i got the exact same thing as daniel we're  

both going for the goulash let me show that  to you guys look at that hearty cubes of meat  

and a nice gravy and i ordered a beer i got a uh  this was truth be told this is the cheapest beer  

on the menu is gross that's a nice beer premium  lager as they say too hot pairs perfectly with
