"No one realizes how beautiful is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old pillow."

Lin Yutang (1895 - 1976)

Argentina could very well be defined by two words only: passion and exuberance.

• Passion in its people
• Exuberance in its nature.

Nothing here is taken lightly, whether it's food,soccer, politics, nightlife or friendship, to mention but some.
Have you ever seen a group of people engaged in a conversation about soccer or politics?
Oh man, it is something to see....
Equally, go to La Bombonera soccer stadium - home of the legendary La Boca suburb playing against its historical rival River Plate.
Geeeez.....

Passion builds up so thick that you can almost touch it!

In addition, Argentina is the most European influenced country in South America. You can see it written all over it, from languages spoken to architecture, food, fashion, antiques, culture and art.

No wonder Buenos Aires - its capital - is called the "Paris of South America".
At the same time, is the land of polo, soccer, tango, mate and steaks the size of a hot water bottle.
So big that you might seek partnership before attacking one of them.
Ask for a "bife de chorizo" or "parrillada" and you will agree with us.

Your Argentina travel experience wouldn't be completed until you try "empanadas", "locro" and "humita", that goes back to the times when the epic gaucho roamed the Pampas with his horse and guitar as sole companions.
Italian and Spanish food are also tremendously popular, from pizza to paella, and everything in between.

Let's have a bird's view over Argentina just to whet your appetite...

ARGENTINA'S TOP DESTINATIONS

For starters, let's tour Buenos Aires, most likely to be your point of arrival, particularly if coming from abroad.
If your Argentina vacations fall in summer (December-March) you'll love to explore the Atlantic coast, especially Mar del Plata, also known as the Pearl of the Atlantic, and the wine region of Mendoza.

You wouldn't want to miss Cordoba either, and to explore Corrientes , Entre Rios and Misiones provinces in the Mesopotamia region.
Specially visit Iguazu falls, in the border of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay.
Salta province- or "Salta La Bella" (The Beautiful)- is loaded with Colonial architecture, gaucho traditions and the amazing tren de las nubes.

For winter instead (June to August), your favorite Argentina vacations would be the Great Lakes area and the sky resorts of Bariloche, in Nahuel Huapy National Park and San Martin de los Andes,in the mythical Patagonia, that also offers countless opportunities to fly fishing enthusiasts.

Further down you'll reach Magellan Strait and Ushuaia, in the magical Tierra del Fuego (Land of Fire).
It is the southernmost tip of the American Continent and gateway to Antarctica and fjords.

You may not be able to cover such an incredible nature agenda in just one visit.
Budgetary or time constrains, or both, are a burden sometimes. Not many of us have the resources to be non stop travellers or to take a Gap Year in the midst of our busy lives.
However, you can always plan a second or third trip helped by a very convenient exchange rate that let you enjoy a superb vacation for a fraction of the international prices.

Yes, Argentina travel is not only beautiful, it's awfully affordable as well.

Remember the film "Evita", with Madonna, Antonio Banderas and Jonathan Pryce?...
Let's have a taste of old Buenos Aires...

Please don't miss it.
Argentina travel is South America's finest experience...

Buen viaje!
