Why Argentina?

Argentina's natural beauties, buzzing culture and friendly people attract visitors from all around the world. As the second largest country in South America, Argentina is a continent on its own. From vast fertile plains in the Pampas and deserts rich with Indian culture in the north, to thundering glaciers in Patagonia, you will be amazed by its natural diversity. If you add the impressive Iguaçu Falls, the wine regions, the monumental Andes Mountains and the birthplace of the Franca whales, you will be convinced that Argentina is a breath-taking destination.

Argentina’s capital, Buenos Aires, is the gateway to South America. Very European in its architecture and spirit, La Reina del Plata will charm you with its bustling streets, grand avenues, old-time cafes and stylish restaurants. It’s a city of culture and passion; a vibrant, cosmopolitan capital.

Cultural activity is very intense all around the country. Exhibitions, carnivals, concerts and festivals of all kinds will keep you busy throughout your journey. Buenos Aires is also one of the world fashion capitals with many trendy designers, fashionable shopping centers and of course the finest leathers. Argentina has also given to the world the sexiest dance of all, the tango, as well as many influential personalities: Evita Perón in politics, Gardel and Piazzola in music, Borges and Cortázar in literature, Maradona and Fangio in sports, among others.

Argentina is also the country of the good meat, the good wine and the traditional Indian cuisine with its empanadas, locro and the very typical ‘Mate’. The people will certainly charm you with their warmth, hospitality and sense of humor. And, you will certainly feel like a local once you get invited to share the national ‘asado’ (barbecue), a ‘mate’, or simply a soccer game.

Experience it yourself, and Argentina will simply amaze you!
