Travel in Argentina

In South America lies a beautiful country where you can see all the seasons pass by from top to bottom. The country of tango, Malbec, Asado, pampas, Evita and gauchos! Pack your backpack and go to Argentina, one of the most beautiful countries in the world!
Buenos Aires is a city of millions on the west coast of Argentina. Wide avenues, palm trees, beautiful buildings and trendy shops characterize this world city. Spread throughout the city are parks and small lakes, where the Argentinean seeks cooling in the hot summers. Especially in the evenings, the South American temperament comes to the fore and the Argentinos dive into restaurants, cafes, bars and nightclubs until the early hours.
Patagonia & Tierra del Fuego (Fire Island): If you like a walk, Patagonia is a great destination. You can hike through rugged landscapes for days, climb mountains and even visit the South Pole (although that is expensive). Timing is essential when visiting this part of Argentina. Our winter is the best time.
Skiing in the Andes: For example, go to Bariloche (one of the most famous ski locations) or Las Leñas, an emerging ski area.
An antique market is held every Sunday in the San Telmo district of Buenos Aires. A lot of junk and fake vintage but also a wonderful atmosphere and tango on the streets.
Bariloche, the chocolate capital of Argentina is not only a beautiful town but also has a very impressive environment. Go skiing or rent a car and explore the beautiful nature parks in the area. Imagine yourself in the Alps through the Swiss chalets and enjoy the snow-capped peaks that reflect beautifully in the crystal clear lakes.
Puerto Madryn. This is the starting point for excursions to the Peninsula Valdes. Penguins, elephant seals, many species of birds, sea lions, you see them all here! Did you miss the whales early in the morning in the bay of Madryn? You can take a boat trip to see them anyway, but first check your travel guide for a reliable tour company that approaches the whales in a respectful way.
Iguazú, a magnificent waterfall, can be viewed from both the Argentine and Brazilian sides. Iguazú means “great waters” in the language of the Guarani Indians. The devil’s throat, Garganta del Diabolo, makes every screamer fall silent, because it is one and a half times as high as the Niagara Falls (70 meters).
Visit “Los Glaciares National Park”, about 40% of the land surface is covered with glaciers. The largest glacier is Upsala, the most interesting is the Moreno glacier. This ends in the “Lago Argentino” where broken pieces float like icebergs.
The distances, differences in prosperity & the (almost) impossibility of eating vegetarian. The Argentines love large pieces of red meat.
