Argentina

Argentina is a vast and vibrant country in South America. Often regarded as the Europe of South America, Argentina is brimming with sophistication, adventure, and diverse culture. However, the population of Argentina is mostly comprised of Italian, Northern European, and Spanish descent. This is a country of many contrasts. Here, you can dance the tango in Buenos Aires, feel the spray of Iguazu Falls, sip Malbec in Mendoza, backpack the Andes in Bariloche, and see one of the only growing glaciers on the planet in Argentinian Patagonia. You can even set sail for Antarctica from the America’s most southern port in Ushuaia. With so much diverse adventure and culture at your fingertips, no two trips to Argentina look the same!

Top 8 Must Visit Places

Iguazú Falls

Iguazú Falls: Iguazú and its sister park, Iguacu in Brazil, are the largest and most spectacular waterfalls in the world. Pictures could never live up to its grandeur of the awe-inspiring waterfalls. Iguazu is part of a national park that is home to over 400 bird species, accompanied by giant anteaters, howler monkeys, ocelots, jaguars and Caimans.

Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires: The birthplace of the tango and the cosmopolitan capital of Argentina vibrates with energy. It’s no surprise we find that most great adventures in Argentina start here! Spend a couple of days immersing yourself in the bustling culture of the city discovering hidden gems and indulging in traditional and delicious Argentinian steak dinners. Café Tortoni, the city’s oldest bar, will transport you back to 1858, and the spectacular Teatro Colón opera house impresses just as it did in 1908. Buenos Aires is also Latin America’s shopping capital, offering the promise of premium retail therapy and taking home the perfect memento from your stay.

Patagonia

Patagonia: Noted for its intense hiking and rugged beauty, the Patagonia boasts both green alpine meadows and glacial fields stretching for miles. Located in the southern portion of the country where weather and travel thrive in the summer seasons. Spanning the lower portions of Argentina and Chile, Patagonia beings on the province of Rio Negro and extends to the Tierra del Fuego.

Mendoza

Mendoza:Located northwest of Buenos Aires on the Andes range, Mendoza is home of the highest mountain in South America. Attracting hikers and world renowned mountain climbers, Mendoza is known for its wine production, wine tasting, hiking, trekking, zip lining, and wall climbing. The city of Mendoza has a charm of its own with its colonial architecture. The best time to visit is April and May, during the peak of the wine festivals.

Bariloche

Bariloche: This is the door to the Patagonia area, which starts in Bariloche and ends in Ushuaia. The lake region, which it is also known for, is an area for fly fishing during the summer (Nov-March) and skiing during the winter (June-September). It is an all year round resort, which often attracts sports lovers with its beautiful scenery and a cross way through the lakes to Chile.

El Calafate

El Calafate: Situated in the heart of the Patagonia, Calafate is famous for its Glaciers, Perito Moreno, Upsala, and much more. These are some of the largest moving glaciers in the southern cone and also the doorway to Chilean Patagonia, Torres del Paine (Paine Towers). The season to enjoy Calafate is the summer (November through April), in which the following months tend to be very cold.

Ushuaia

Ushuaia: The southernmost city in the world, and is also known as Tierra del Fuego. It serves as the port city for all the Antarctic cruises, combining sea, mountains, and forest all at the same time. Ushuaia is also the last crossing available to Chile, either by sea on one of the cruises via Cape Horn, or by land to Punta Arenas in Chile.

Córdoba

Córdoba: Argentina’s second largest city, situated in Argentina’s beautiful sierra region—an area punctuated with golden, rolling hillsides and shimmering lakes. Although decidedly modern and progressive, Córdoba was founded in 1573 and its architecture features a fascinating blend of Jesuit ruins and some of the best-preserved colonial buildings in the country. All of this fused with a buzzing arts scene and a university vibe.
