From tango to soccer to the Andes, Argentina is full of natural wonders and thriving culture that is sure to win your heart. There’s more than just the European-esque capital Buenos Aires to explore; discover what Salta and San Miguel de Tucuman in the north, the Andean cities in the west, and Ushuaia in the south have to offer. Discover Península Valdés in Patagonia, a UNESCO World Heritage site and breeding ground of the southern sea lion and elephant seal. There is so much to experience on vacation in Argentina that you might as well just move here.

No matter what you want to see in Argentina, there is a perfect hotel to serve as your base or one of the many places you stay as you travel around. Buenos Aires is one of the most popular destinations in Argentina not only for foreign visitors but residents of Latin America. For the most cultural city in the country, head to Córdoba. Stay in the Misiones province to be close to the breathtaking Iguazu Falls, or Mendoza for superb wineries. Rio Negro is excellent for exploring Patagonia, while Tierra del Fuego offers rare combinations of glaciers, beaches, and museums.

The capital city of Buenos Aires is a must-see vacation destination for those who love thrilling nightlife, fascinating culture, and people passionate about everything from food to dance. The Argentine tango, the sultriest dance in the world, is a fantastic way to spend your night in Buenos Aires; find a milonga for lessons or dance the night away outdoors.

Trek down south to the southernmost city in the world, beautiful Ushuaia, for more than just bragging rights. This last city on the Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego has an air of mystery hanging over its diverse landscape from the snowy mountains to the bogs and plains so close to Antarctica.

Head to the west for the dramatic Andes Mountains and the charming San Carlos de Bariloche, perfect for hiking in summer and skiing in winter, along the shore of Nahuel Huapi Lake. Pretend you’ve traveled to southern continent with a trip to the Parc Nacional Los Glaciares for ice fields and constantly moving glaciers, something not very many people can say they’ve experienced.

Wine connoisseurs will love a wine tasting tour of the world-class Mendoza wineries and olive oil farmers. The areas of Cafayate and San Juan are also known for their exquisite wine and a tour of all of these regions is more than any wine lover can dream of.
