A geographically diverse nation, Argentina spans from the tip of the world at Tierra del Fuego with its glaciers and mountainous terrains, through the breathtaking backdrops of Patagonia, on to the gaucho-lands of the Pampas and their mouth-watering steaks, finishing with the unique and colourful landscapes of the Andean Northwest with its archaeological gems.

In between lies Buenos Aires, a world-class city with European charm and distinctly South American culture combining the influence of the plains and the gaucho culture with the melancholy of Tango and an intellectually sophisticated café culture.

Today, Argentina remains one of the most developed nations in South America, having overcome a military dictatorship as well as severe economic and political hardships. The tourist industry is continually developing and there are places and activities to suit all interests and budgets.
