Buenos Aires, the country’s dynamic capital, is a vibrant introduction to Argentina solo travel. Passion pervades every aspect of its atmosphere, from its seductive Tango traditions to its energetic football culture. Team up with an expert local guide to experience the full extent of this extraordinary metropolis, affectionately referred to as the ‘Paris of South America’. Cordoba – Argentina’s second city – is also bursting with culture, as the home of the country’s oldest university and a thriving student population. Offering a tranquil contrast to the colourful cities are the more remote regions of the Pampas and Patagonia. Intrepid travellers can harness the glacial wilderness, by trekking over the rugged surface of Perito Moreno glacier (which is a whopping 18 miles long) and embracing gaucho life in the Pampas.
Argentina excels when it comes to gastronomic discovery, with its blend of street food, wine traditions and world-class dining options catering to the culinary curious among us. Tuck into tender Bife de Lomo (tenderloin steak) and chimichurri, served alongside a glass of rich Malbec (straight from the source in Mendoza). Speaking of the country’s signature wine, explore its origins in more detail during a vineyard tour and winemaking lesson in Mendoza. Take your Argentina solo travel adventure one step further and combine Argentina with its South America neighbours, Chile and Bolivia, for a trip you’ll be raving about for years to come.
