The biggest Spanish-speaking country in the world, Argentina is a patchwork of landscapes. The rugged Atlantic coastline – which stretches for nearly 3,000 miles – has pockets of golden sand and pine-backed beaches. Inland, meanwhile, you’ll find neat vineyards, sprawling ranches, snow-dusted mountains and enormous glaciers. Whether you’re drawn to the varied scenery or the exciting cities, our Argentina holidays tick all the boxes.

It’s likely that your trip to Argentina will kick off in its vibrant capital, Buenos Aires. The home of the tango – and nearly three million people – Buenos Aires is romantic and lively in equal measure. You can expect to find French-inspired architecture, historical plazas and colourful barrios with bright street art. Take a tour of the presidential palace, Casa Rosada, and marvel at the ornate mausoleums in Recoleta Cemetery. And foodies will be delighted by the city’s freshly-baked empanadas, juicy steaks and Argentine barbecue, called asado.

But if it’s wine you’re after, make tracks for Mendoza. This famous region produces about 80 per cent of Argentina’s wine, most notably its full-bodied malbec. Tour a vineyard – there are more than 1,500 – to learn about the vine-to-wine process and enjoy a tasting session. Or, for another insight into rural Argentina, spend time at a traditional ranch, an estancia, and watch highly-skilled gauchos herd cattle across the rolling plains. Why not stay for a couple of days to find out more about Argentina’s legendary cowboys, go horse riding, and enjoy some delicious home cooking?

Argentina holidays are ideal for nature-lovers, too. In the north, at the Brazilian border, you can marvel at UNESCO-stamped Iguazu Falls, where 275 waterfalls thunder through tropical forest. Or head south to Patagonia. Shared with Chile, this dramatic region serves up all sorts of wonders. You can hike through Argentina’s beautiful Lake District, explore the alpine town of Bariloche, and be amazed by the jaw-dropping glaciers and mountains of Los Glaciares National Park.

After a jam-packed trip, Argentina’s balmy beaches are the perfect place to unwind. Bustling Mar del Plata is the most popular beach resort, while forest-lined Pinamar and sleepy Miramar offer a quieter escape. Or why not hop over to Brazil and spend a few days relaxing on Rio de Janeiro’s beaches, such as Copacabana or Ipanema? However you want to spend your time, our Travel Specialists will help you plan the perfect holiday to Argentina.
