Overview

Argentina

An immense country between the Andes and the Atlantic Ocean, Argentina has what it takes to make us dream. The modern Buenos Aires has the charm of old Europe complemented by an atmosphere of Tango. Far from their capital, the range of possible discoveries is impressive; step into the shoes of the Gauchos from the Pampas, real symbols of a proud and free people by staying at the Estancias, the famous farms on the Pampas that have been reconverted for tourism. You should also see Ushuaia for the beauty and simplicity of its pastel houses located at the ends of the Southern Hemisphere and bear Mar del Plata in mind, the most touristy seaside resort in the country. Argentina has a multitude of landscapes including the fascinating blue of the glaciers, Andean lakes, Patagonia and the Iguaçu falls. Argentina is a country of contrasts destined for the travelling adventurer; it necessary to know how to deal with the distances!

Country Guide

Our Editorial team's advice

Before leaving for the south stock up with some basic products, as the further south you travel in the country the more the prices go up until they double.
Do not trust the 'as in Europe' side of Argentina: the economic crisis of these latter years has encouraged an increase in theft and attacks.
Argentina is an immensely large country, so if you do not have a great deal of time to spend here, get to know one single region well, rather than travelling for miles following exhausting routes.
