ARGENTINA

"Argentina will be hot for 2009 as it is the place to experience and trek on the Perito Moreno Glacier, along with visiting the spectacular Iguazu falls. Perhaps sample some Malbec at the foot of the Andes in Mendoza, or experience the Gaucho life. A perfect place to spend a white Christmas due to the short season."
