Travel to the ends of the Earth to wild and wonderful Argentina, the “Land of Silver”. Argentina offers a true escape for the more adventurous traveller. From the tropical forests of the northeast or the exciting and cosmopolitan capital city of Buenos Aires, to the windswept and spectacular scenery of Patagonia, this land of contrasts offers a wealth of possibilities.
Argentina is the world’s eighth largest nation, but with only 36 million people it is one of the least densely populated countries in the world. Because of its immense size it has a variety of natural landscapes and a dynamic cultural heritage to match.
The world famous and exciting city of Buenos Aires is a must. The birthplace of the tango and the final resting place of Eva ‘Evita’ Perón, this romantic city will enthral and captivate you with the warmth of its people.
To the northeast are the dense forests surrounding the spectacular Iguazú Falls. You too can become a gaucho cowboy on one of the many ranches in the vast Pampas.
High in the Andes to the east is the world class ski resort of Bariloche with luxury accommodation and spectacular scenery.
Patagonia offers adventurous travellers the chance to experience one of the last true wildernesses.
Whether you prefer to marvel at the power and might of humpback whales or to track the footprints of the elusive puma in the foothills of the Andes, nature is all around you. A land of immense contrasts and breathtaking beauty, the trip of a lifetime awaits you in Argentina each and every time.
