Argentina
South America’s second largest country (after Brazil) has a wealth of stunning scenery from the sub-Antarctic regions of Patagonia in the south to sub-tropical jungle in the north. In the west, the impressive Andes (including the highest peak in the western hemisphere, Mt. Aconcagua) run the length of the country and form a natural frontier with neighbouring Chile.
The centre of the country is dominated by the Pampas – vast, fertile grasslands – and is also home to Cordoba, and the country’s ever more impressive winelands in Mendoza. Finally, cosmopolitan Buenos Aires is a passionate and lively city and a melting pot of peoples from Europe and Latin America. And speaking of passion, Argentina is one of the Original Travel team’s favourite places, and we know the place intimately.
Why read a review online when you can talk to someone at OT who has visited all the latest chic hotel in BA’s Palermo district or can advise on where to try your hand at polo?
