Argentina

From the elegant cobblestone boulevards, tango halls, century-old cafes and designer boutiques of Buenos Aires, Argentina unfolds through thousands of miles of flat pampas into the rolling sierras of Cordoba and the vineyards of Mendoza, before soaring into the Andes – the country’s impressively rugged border with Chile.

To the north, soaring peaks, cactus forests and lunar landscapes give way to subtropical jungle, wetlands and Iguazú, some of the world’s most stunning waterfalls.

To the south, Patagonia embraces snow-capped peaks, crystalline lakes and immense glaciers. Adventure here abounds – imagine diving with penguins, heli-skiing immaculate powder, fly fishing brown trout, or finishing a day of white water rafting sleeping in a treehouse, resting under the skies of one of the last great wildernesses.
