About Argentina

Argentina is a large, sophisticated, and appealing country, located at the southernmost tip of South America. Few places can compete with the drama and diversity of Argentina's landscapes. Skiers and snowboarders will be drawn to the Andes, while hikers and mountain bikers will leap at the opportunity to travel through this mountain range's unique ecosystem. In the northern regions, Argentina's wetlands are home to some of South America's most interesting flora and fauna, as well as fascinating Incan ruins and former Jesuit monasteries. Further south, Argentina's tip is an icy paradise of mountains and glaciers, scarcely touched by humankind.

Culturally, Argentina is equally interesting. Argentina is the birthplace of the tango, and it continues to be one of Latin America's most prodigious producers of modern art, music, film, and literature. In Argentinean cities, a sophisticated populace enjoys a contemporary lifestyle, galleries, and a range of ethnic restaurants. When in Argentina, be sure to sample the country's fabulous local cuisine. Famous for its cuts of meat, Argentinean steakhouses are among the best in the world. In the afternoon, try a cup of yerba mate, the famous herbal infusion that is popular throughout South America.
