Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires is a vibrant capital city with a strong European influence. It has beautiful late 19th century buildings, a lively café culture and shopping opportunities which range from upmarket boutiques to outdoor markets. The city is home to many Tango schools, and dancers are a familiar sight in many areas. A few days in the city should ideally be complemented with a stay at a traditional estancia (ranch), or combined with a cruise along the Paraná River.

Northern & Central Argentina
Northern Argentina offers a wealth of scenery, from the world-famous Iguassú Falls to the less well-known attractions of Mendoza and Salta. The Falls are impressive due to their size and also their location in the middle of humid forest. Mendoza is at the heart of the Argentinean wine-producing region, and is dominated by the high Andes, whilst Salta, a beautifully-preserved colonial city, provides access to the mountainous northern deserts and the spectacular scenery of the Humahuaca Gorge.

Patagonia
The area surrounding San Carlos de Bariloche offers a huge range of outdoor pursuits in the nearby mountains, lakes and rivers and is a well-used crossing point into the Chilean Lake District. On the west coast, the Valdés Peninsula is home to almost a million penguins as well as elephant seals, sea lions and whales. Further south, El Calafate acts as a base for exploring Los Glaciares National Park which incorporates the Perito Moreno, Upsala and Onelli glaciers. Tierra del Fuego is in the far south, and the key attractions are the Beagle Channel, the ancient forests and the isolated town of Ushuaia.
