I have been lucky enough to land in Buenos Aires at dawn, therefore seeing all these lights appearing from nowhere after hours of flying over the Atlantic night.
Again, I was lucky to leave for Salta at dusk, being allowed this magical sight once more. This city is absolutely huge, and does occupy a load of land.
What is amazing is that very suddenly the city lights are interrupted, and that’s not because of some clouds, or somebody put his big head in front of the window.
That’s only because Buenos Aires has roughly 12 million inhabitants, that’s one third of all Argentines. And that leaves the rest of the country, 6 times the size of France, nearly empty.
