Argentina is rich in culture, history, natural beauty and warm hospitality. For many travelers, the primary attractions of the country are not only gauchos and tango, but also the country's natural wonders. From vast deserts rich in Indian culture to glaciers, from the powerful Iguazu Falls to wine regions, from the birthplace of the southern Franca whale to the fertile Pampas. Due to the sparse population, Argentine land still possesses untouched natural beauty.

Argentina borders Chile, Brazil, Uruguay, Bolivia and Paraguay, and it is the eighth largest country in the world, second only to Brazil in terms of size and population in South America. The population mix of Argentina is very different from the rest of Latin America as it is mostly European. However, you can still experience "traditional life" in the Northern provinces of Salta and Jujuy. These provinces resemble the Andean nations of Bolivia and Peru and differ culturally from those of the Pampas. Archaeological sites, volcanoes, small Indian villages, and nature reserves can be found in this area.

Argentina's cultural roots are mainly European and that is clearly reflected in its architecture, music, literature and lifestyle. There is an intense cultural activity in Argentina, and it is reflected in festivities, exhibitions, cinema, theatre festivals and concerts that take place in the main cities. The typical Argentine meals are asado, empanadas, humita, locro, etc. However, due to the important migrating waves that populated the country, there is a wide range of international cuisine: Spanish, Italian, French, German, Scandinavian, Greek, English, Swedish, Mexican, Basque, Jewish, and Arabian. The new Argentine cuisine has reached an international level, also, the quality of its wines and beef are world wide known.

Culture, natural beauty, cuisine. Argentina has something to offer you at every corner of the country!
