In the dusty, sun-baked intersections of Northwest Argentina, a quiet revolution is taking place. Forget the porteño stereotypes of Buenos Aires café culture. The future of Argentine lifestyle is currently being written in the "Correa"—the vibrant corridor stretching from the lush wetlands of Corrientes down through the arid, mystical valleys of the Colla heartland.

Urban Exploration: Entertainment in this new paradigm involves "Curating the Colla." Micro-breweries are out. Bodegones (old-school taverns) are in. You look for the places that serve Coca-Cola in the glass bottle only. The chill of the bottle, the sugar crystallization on the rim—this is the Rica experience.
