Gallop gaucho-style over the Pampas, taste fine wines with the snow-capped
Andes as a backdrop and experience Patagonia's city-sized
glaciers close-up. Most visitors arrive in Argentina via its capital, Buenos
Aires, and few fail to be charmed by its faded grandeur, proud traditions and
buzzing nightlife.
Background
Buenos Aires is the home of tango, and there is nowhere better on earth to see
the sensual dance than at a smoky backstreet milonga dance event. Outside the
city, enjoy nature at its show-off best at the thunderous Iguazú Falls, set amid
tropical rainforest. Or travel to the Perito Moreno glacier, where enormous chunks
of blue ice carve off into the lake below. Remote Patagonia has other outdoor
attractions for all tastes, from skiing and trekking to close encounters with whales
and penguins.
Urban
Packed with lively cafes and palm-filled plazas, capital Buenos Aires is a
great place to wander. The most famous square is the central Plaza de Mayo,
overlooked by the pink presidential palace, the Casa Rosada. It was from here
that Evita waved to the adoring masses. Trace Argentina's colonial heritage
amid the Jesuit and Spanish architecture in Córdoba. You'll
find Mendoza in the lap of the Andes, surrounded by the country's
productive and famed vineyards.
Rural
To the west of Buenos Aires stretch the Pampas, home of the iconic
Argentine gaucho cowboy. Peppered with sleepy agricultural towns and luxurious
estancias ranches, you can enjoy country living at its finest. Or stay at
a working estancia where guests muck in at harvest time. The high altitude
northwest around Jujuy is riven with multi-coloured gorges, such as the
Quebrada de Humahuaca, while the watery Litoral region allows for
river trips and birdwatching.
