Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, possesses a rich cultural identity, and is one of most visited cities in Latin America. The city is divided up into various neighbourhoods, ranging from the colourful streets of La Boca to the wealthier region of Recoleta, and the city is best explored on foot. The Tango dance originates from the working class neighbourhoods of Buenos Aires, and no visit would complete without a trip to one of the many evening Tango shows, or to a milonga if you fancy a dance yourself. If you are looking to escape the bustle of the city, then a visit to one of the Estancias on the nearby Pampas makes an excellent day trip.
El Calafate, a small town in south Patagonia, is the perfect base for visiting the Perito Moreno glacier. The glacier is one of the most impressive in all of Patagonia, and it is possible to watch giant chunks of ice break off to the 60m face and crash into Lago Argentino below. El Calafate is on the shores Lago Argentino, and you can take a boat ride through the icebergs, as well as visit old haciendas and explore other glaciers.
Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world, is located on the windswept island of Tierra del Fuego. Nearby is the Tierra del Fuego National Park, which boasts dramatic scenery ranging from gushing waterfalls to snow-capped peaks. The park is often reached by the ‘end of the world’ tourist train. Ushuaia is on the Beagle Channel, and boat trips allow you to see penguins, sea lions, and different species of birds.
The Iguazu Falls are a series of over 270 waterfalls stretching for over one and a half miles through lush forest. The falls culminate in the incredible Devil’s Throat, the 700-metre long, 82-metre high horseshoe-shaped falls. The area around the falls is a national park, and there many trails through the jungle, allowing you to spot the local wildlife. The Iguazu Falls are on the border between Argentina and Brazil, and the falls can be visited from both countries.
