Ecuador Travel
Argentina is the second largest country in South America, meaning it holds countless gems and treasures just waiting to be discovered by the curious explorer. If you’re looking for the best of the best not to be missed on your next Argentina holiday, use this handy checklist so you don’t miss any of these top 5 destinations.
1. Buenos Aires and the Soul of Tango Buenos Aires is Argentina’s capital and proudly so. It is largely regarded as the birthplace of the sensual tango dance, and many centers around the city teach, perform, or do both. Take a stroll along La Boca to see how the professionals do it. A number of Buenos Aires vacation packages will also take you around to see some of the city’s most distinctive architectures that have earned the metropolis its nickname as “the Paris of South America.”
2. Mendoza and Wine Country The hearty countryside of Argentina’s vast western region is a place for the ultimate relaxation. It is shouldered by the Andes mountains and is popular for its vineyards and wine production. Sit back and have a drink to celebrate the fact that you’re on your Argentina holiday!
3. Iguazu Falls and the Wonders of Nature This spectacular series of over 275 waterfalls is an absolute sight to see. It is so large that it actually spans across the border of Brazil and Argentina, and lush national parks curb both sides. Depending on your interest, take a short boat ride to the base of the falls for unique perspective, or hike to one of the many viewpoints where your eyes and camera might overload with happiness.
4. Ushuaia and the Ends of the Earth What’s cooler than being able to say you’ve been to the southernmost city on earth? This full city-surprisingly, not just a town or village-is a fantastic destination that borders on dreamlike. Enjoy the icy arctic landscape from the water’s banks, or book an Antarctica cruise to take you beyond where you’ve ever gone before.
5. Patagonia and the Perito Moreno Glacier If you can’t make it all the way to Ushuaia, Patagonia will be just as satisfying. Stock up at adventure towns such as El Chalten or El Calafate, then venture to one of the nearby national parks such as Torres el Paine for a glimpse of nature as you’ve never seen it before. The Perito Moreno Glacier is a very accessible attraction perfect for travelers of all ages.
