Destinations in Argentina

Argentina stretches 3,500 kilometers from north to south, spanning climates from subtropical to subantarctic. Each region has its own distinct cuisine, landscapes and cultural identity. Buenos Aires offers tango, European architecture and world-class steakhouses. Salta and Jujuy dazzle with the Quebrada de Humahuaca, the Calchaqui Valleys and Cafayate's high-altitude wines. Tucuman adds the Quilmes Ruins and lush Yungas cloud forests. Mendoza is the Malbec capital at the foot of the Andes, while San Juan offers the Valley of the Moon and Talacampaya -- otherworldly landscapes. Cordoba combines sierras, Jesuit estancias and UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Rosario is the birthplace of Messi, the Parana River and the National Flag Monument. Patagonia impresses with the Perito Moreno Glacier, Bariloche and Ushuaia. Iguazu Falls rounds out the circuit as one of the seven natural wonders of the world, and the Ibera Wetlands offer South America's second-largest wetland ecosystem.
