Argentina
Blessed with the wide expanse of the Atlantic Ocean framing its east, the mighty Andes crowning the west, a subpolar ice kingdom to the south, the jungled beauty of the northeast and the tablecloth of the Pampas blanketing its center, Argentina stands as a titan of South America. If you’re beginning your Argentina planning, you’ll quickly discover why this country is so beloved by adventurous travelers. Choose the scenery to suit your appetite, including ice-capped adventures in the southern Andes and spellbinding waterfalls in Iguazú. Sensational Buenos Aires, the most-visited city in Latin America, is equal parts seductive, cerebral and sensational. Not sure where to start? Plan your trip to Argentina with our travel inspiration and tips covering top attractions, when to visit and expert advice to help you make the most of your adventure.
