    I traveled to Buenos Aires, Bariloche and Santiago. Buenos Aires is a wonderful city! I felt like I was in Europe! I did not like the sky, but their alfajores are magnificent! They were lovely places!

    Overall this is a very good piece of writing, you just missed out one or two things.

    'I felt like I was in Europe!'

    To 'feel like' is the verb you're looking for here - like you had the sense you were in Europe, which has a capital letter. And then you need to say what you feel like - like you were in Europe.

    'I did not like the sky.'

    I think this is what you meant here. Watch out for arcticles. (Articles = 'the', 'a', 'an').

    'Their alfajores are magnificent! They were lovely places!'

    You missed off a bit of the word 'magnificent' here - and just saying 'lovely places' would be okay in speech but in writing it's incomplete and you need a verb to make it clearer what you mean.

    This is great stuff - keep it up! :)
