Argentina

A large country in southern South America with extremely varied scenery, from the tango capital and Iguazú Falls to Patagonian glaciers.

Argentina lies in southern South America, stretching from the subtropical north to Tierra del Fuego at the southern tip, with the Andes to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. The capital, Buenos Aires, is known for tango, European-style architecture and food. In the north are Iguazú Falls, the colorful valleys of Salta and the Quebrada de Humahuaca; Mendoza is wine country; and the Bariloche lake district, whale watching on the Valdés Peninsula and the glaciers of southern Patagonia are all emblematic. The seasons are the reverse of the Northern Hemisphere: southern Patagonia is best visited from Nov to Mar, while the north suits spring, autumn and winter. The main international gateway is Buenos Aires's Ezeiza International Airport.
