Set at the southern point of South America, Argentina offers some of the most varied and beautiful scenery in the world. This rich natural heritage is enhanced by a vibrant culture as typified by the provocative tango and the proud gaucho folk hero. Stretching from southern Brazil to the icy tip of the South American continent, with the snow-capped Andes running its full length, this vast and magnificent country embraces an array of wonders that render a visit to Argentina an unforgettable experience.
Cosmopolitan and flamboyant Buenos Aires, the 'Paris of the Southern Hemisphere' welcomes visitors with a passion and warmth typical of the country and its people. From here the mesmerising Pampas stretch across the heart of the country. Excellent hotels and estancias offer a warm hospitality and wines of the Mendoza region that are of international renown.
To the south in Patagonia soaring granite peaks and a pristine mountain landscape tower high above ancient glaciers that slide slowly from the Andes toward brilliant turquoise lakes, while on the Atlantic coast extravagant displays of marine life entrance onlookers.
The north high Andean plains and salt lakes offer a desolate magnificence, and a day riding here in the pure air of the mountains is an uplifting experience unlike any other. In contrast the exuberant subtropical rainforest that swathes the landscapes to the northeast reveals crumbling ruins of early Jesuit missions and the spectacular Iguazu Falls on the border with Brazil.
