Introduction to Argentina
Argentina offers a land of immense contrasts with a great variety of experiences. A microcosm of the entire South American continent, holidays to Argentina are a hugely rewarding experience.
Where To Go
Start your Argentina holidays in
Buenos Aires, the chic 'Paris of the South' and birthplace of tango. Savour the fantastic beef and delicious local wines while listening to the sensuous tango drift through the evening air.
From Buenos Aires head south, where the windswept steppes of
Patagonia look out towards Antarctica. Here you will find Bariloche,one of the world's most beautiful and spectacular landscapes. To the west snow-capped peaks of the Andes separate Argentina from Chile delivering massive glaciers into glassy lakes.
The north of Argentina is characterised by tropical forests, the majestic waterfalls of
Iguazu with no fewer than 275 separate waterfalls, and the sun-baked cactus-studded deserts of Jujuy.
On your holidays to Argentina, you might also include the Atlantic sea board in the east, and
Peninsula Valdez which plays host to a range of marine life, including Southern Right whales.
The Lake District is one of Argentina's most beloved travel destinations and a mecca for those that enjoy impressive scenery and outdoor pursuits. The spectacular snow-capped mountain peaks and glacially formed lakes give the region its name.
Journey to the 'uttermost part of the world',
Tierra del Fuego. From the barren plains of the north, to the virgin lenga forests, and the glaciers descending almost to the ocean, this is a spellbinding destination for those who make it this far. This is an ideal Argentina travel destination.
While in Argentina, stay at an
estancia, a unique phenomenon to Argentina and through opening up their family's homes to guests, estancia owners offer visitors a very personal and privileged introduction to the ways of rural Argentine life, which has changed little in the last 50 years.
Argentina's vastly varied climatic zones and topography provide ideal conditions for all sorts of
sporting activities and
special interests. Choose from winter sports in the snow-capped Andes or on Tierra del Fuego, to excellent fishing on the country's wealth of pristine lakes and fast-flowing rivers.
