Highlights of Argentina
Buenos Aires
Capital city of the land that gave us tango and steak, Buenos Aires is a modern metropolis filled with European-style architecture and a distinctly Latin charm, which is utterly unforgettable. Visitors should explore Buenos Aires on a walking tour in order to make the most of everything it has to offer, including the historical Obelisco in the Plaza de la Republica.
Iguazu National Park
Home to the majestic Iguazu Falls, which stretch out through Argentina and Brazil, Iguazu National Park should not be missed by anyone passing through the region. Few places on earth can compete with Iguazu Falls with regards to showing what Mother Nature is capable of. There are plenty of lookout points from which visitors can get the perfect shot of the cascades, and the falls can also be viewed by helicopter.
Tierra del Fuego
Literally translated as ‘Land of the Fire’, Tierra del Fuego spans Argentina and Chile and is an archipelago at the southernmost tip of Patagonia. In 1960 a portion of the area was declared a national park and now has several different paths and trails, varying in difficulty, which visitors can follow in order to explore the natural beauty and rugged landscape in more depth. Most who choose to visit this region base themselves in nearby Ushuaia.
El Calafate
Nestled on the southern shore of Lago Argentino, the largest of Argentina’s lakes, the natural attractions around El Calafate are numerous. El Calafate is also the base for visits to the spectacular Glaciar Perito Moreno, a hulking mass of ice and the world’s third largest reserve of fresh water. Situated in the south of the Parque Nactional Los Glaciares, the Perito Moreno features jagged edges of razor-sharp crevasses and seracs display colours ranging from the purest of whites to the most startling of blues.
Salta
Salta is an attractive combination of lively atmosphere, handsome colonial architecture, and a rugged mountainous backdrop. Sophisticated with engaging museums displaying everything from contemporary art to some of the country's most important archaeological discoveries, Salta is one of the few places in the region that draws visitors for its city attractions, rather than just the surrounding landscape and natural beauty.
Ushuaia
Ushuaia is the most southern city in the world and the gateway to nearby Tierra del Fuego. It is also the starting point for our Antarctic expedition cruisesto South Georgia and beyond. The town itself is a unique place to explore, and there is plenty of great scenery to delve into on foot, bicycle, boat, or horseback. The Museum of the Prison of Ushuaia is also worth visiting - formerly a high-security prison, it is now a fascinating museum.
Bariloche
The chocolate capital of Argentina is spread along the shoreline of Lago Nahuel Huapi with the soaring, jagged crests of the Cerro Catedral massif encircling the town, Bariloche is picture-perfect in every direction. In the warmer months travellers flock to Bariloche to hike in the surrounding hills, mountain-climb, fish and more. Whilst in the winter months when the mountain of Cerro Catedral is blanketed in thick, white snow, it becomes a magnet for skiers and snowboarders.
Mendoza
Argentina's wine capital, Mendoza draws in visitors from all over the world. However, this vineyard-filled region has a lot more to offer than just Malbec, with fly fishing, horseback tours and excursions sampling the local gourmet cuisine just a few of the activities available to those who venture here. With snow-capped mountains in the background and colourful fields on the outskirts, it’s hard to find a reason not to visit Mendoza.
