Argentina

Argentina’s natural wonders and its wildlife inspired a young Charles Darwin to tell the tale of his expeditions and findings from the end of the world between 1832 and 1835. He gathered these stories in “The voyage of the Beagle”.

Two centuries later, Darwin’s descendants can experience the jewels Argentina has to offer: from the Iguazú Falls in the north, to the wetlands of Esteros del Iberá in Mesopotamia, the Glaciers National Park (UNESCO World Heritage Site) and an eclectic variety of landscapes in Patagonia—including the whale sanctuary in the Valdés Peninsula—to Tierra del Fuego, the gateway to Antarctica. The outdoors and extreme sports offer adventure-seekers a wide range of activities, from paddling down rivers, to fishing, biking, trekking, bird-watching, skiing and horse-riding.

Argentina, famous for its steak and malbec wines, has more to offer foodies in the gastronomy scene: the culinary landscape around the country mixes varied indigenous flavors and local traditions with a European palate.

If Mendoza is the capital of wine—with San Juan, Salta and Neuquén offering interesting alternatives with new varieties—, Buenos  Aires is the cultural capital. Its theatre scene is on a par with New York, London or Paris, offering over 200 plays a week. It has the largest amount of bookstores per capita anywhere in the world and its cafes offer the perfect setting for people-watching. Our people’s hospitable nature, the spread of English speaking and a vibrant cityscape help travellers round off an unforgettable experience.
