Introducing Argentina

Argentina exudes passion. From the steamy dance of tango to the cult of futbol, Argentinean culture is as flavorful as its cuisine.

When is the best time to visit?
Since Argentina is a vast country, with climates ranging from the warm North to the icy South, when to visit really depends on where you plan on going. But as a general rule of thumb, travelers should aim to visit from April to June (fall) or from September to December (spring). Learn more

Where should I go in Argentina?
City life in Buenos Aires is a constant blur and a must-see for any visitor interested in soaking up the exciting culture of this country. Argentina boasts a host of natural splendors as well, from the Iguazú Falls in the subtropical north to the icy beauty of Perito Moreno Glacier and the Andean salt flats. Whatever destination travelers prefer, most will agree on one thing: there’s nothing like a well-grilled Argentinian steak accompanied by a glass of local red wine. Learn more

How many days do I need?
To truly experience Argentina, and eat your way through their diverse cuisine, plan to spend at least 10 days in this high-energy country. Learn more

Getting around in Argentina
Given its size, most itineraries in Argentina include domestic flights that take several hours. Renting a car and setting off on a road trip is also a great way to explore Argentina, though most travelers stick to regions for their road trips, and fly between regions. Learn more

Number 2 on the tour for me was The Puerto Iguazu Falls. This was much more impressive than Niagara Falls. I loved The location of La Reserva Virgin Lodge which is in the heart of the forest, that was very nice. Number 3 on the tour was Salta. Driving 2.5 miles up the mountain to the Salinas Grandes salt flats was interesting but not very exciting. Number 4 on the tour was the Cafayate Excursion a drive in the country side looking at prehistoric rock formations and then going to a winery for some wine tasting. It's unfortunate that I do not remember the names of the guides but if this is any consolation, they were all excellent!
