Visitors to Argentina usually arrive in Buenos Aires - a magical city with the architecture and cosmopolitan air of a European city, but the vitality and raw energy of Latin America - before venturing into its unique natural wonders.
Argentina's diverse topography includes the mighty Iguazu Falls in the subtropical north, the arid salt flats of the Andes, pristine wetlands and the remarkable Patagonian peaks, and glaciers of the Perito Moreno National Park.
There are wonderful places to stay: welcoming estancias, the best of avant garde boutique city hotels, luxury Patagonian lodges, small expedition cruises from the end of the continent, and wine estates where the day ends with a glass of Malbec next to an open fire.
