Overview of Argentina
|
Argentina is a country of immense beauty and proportions. Its geographic diversity spans the most breathtaking terrain from Antarctica, through the wild, glacier-filled mountains of Patagonia and massive open plains of La Pampas to the deserts and tropical jungles in the north.
The country can be enjoyed for its natural wonders alone, but no visit here could be called complete without a glimpse of its soul, the capital city. Elegant Buenos Aires is home to 40 percent of the population, and is a buzzing metropolis with a rich, passionate and tortured history that is integral to its character. It is Europe and Latin America contained in one geographical location, with elements of the unknown around each corner. It is familiar and strange at the same time, but at its very core, wonderfully welcoming. |

Things to do in Argentina
Mountaineering
Argentina is a favoured destination for serious mountain climbers, most intent on conquering one of the highest peaks in the world, Aconcagua, west of Mendoza. Other challenging climbs in the country include the Fitzroy Range in Parque Nacional Los Glaciares in Santa Cruz province, and the Sierra de la Fentana. The Lakes Region of Argentina, near Bariloche, is also popular for climbing, particularly at the ski resort Cerro Catedral. Mount Tronador is of particular interest in the Bariloche area, as is Piedro Parada, a beautiful desert crag located close to the Chubut River.
Trekking
Argentina, with its infinite variety of landscapes and geographic zones, provides plenty of opportunities for those who like to take on nature up close and on foot. Northern Argentina offers unique desert landscapes, lush subtropical rainforest and of course, the thunderous Iguazu Falls, on the border with Brazil. To the south, trekkers are greeted with the awe-inspiring scenery of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego. The Valdes Peninsula is also a popular location, providing visitors with the chance to see penguins, sea lions, whales and abundant birdlife. Some treks give visitors the opportunity to follow ancient Inca trails.
White-Water Rafting
Argentina offers some wonderful white-water rafting opportunities, ranging in difficulty from Grade II through to IV, with exciting rides through magnificent scenery. One of the most popular routes is on the turbulent Rio Mendoza, cutting through mountain gorges, and on the Rio Manso through the southern part of the Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi. The town of Esquel is also used as a base for rafters wishing to tackle Chile's renowned Rio Futaleufu, with its Grade V rapids. Numerous operators offer day trips.
