Argentina is rich with culture,
history, natural beauty and warm hospitality. For many
travelers, the primary attractions of the country are
not only gauchos and tango, but also the country's natural
wonders. We invite you to get a taste of the true and
varied self of Argentina, from deserts rich with Indian
culture to glaciers, from the powerful Iguazu Falls
to wine regions, from the birthplace of the southern
Franca whale to the fertile Pampas. Due to the sparse
population, Argentine land still possesses untouched
natural beauty.
Argentina borders Chile, Brazil, Uruguay, Bolivia and
Paraguay, and is the eighth largest country in the world,
second only to Brazil in terms of size and population
in South America. The population mix of Argentina is
very different from the rest of Latin America as it
is mostly European. However, you can still experience
"traditional life" in the Northern provinces
of Salta and Jujuy. These provinces resemble the Andean
nations of Bolivia and Peru and differ culturally from
that of the Pampas. Archaeological sites, volcanoes,
small Indian villages, and nature reserves can be found
in this area.
Argentina's cultural roots are mainly European and that
is clearly reflected in its architecture, music, literature
and lifestyle.

There is an intense cultural activity
in Argentina, and it is reflected in festivities, exhibitions,
cinema and theatre festivals, and concerts that take
place in the main cities. The typical Argentine meals
are asado, empanadas, humita, locro, etc. However, due
to the important migrating current that populated the
country, there exists a varied international cuisine:
Spanish, Italian, French, German, Scandinavian, Greek,
English, Swedish, Mexican, Basque, Jewish, and Arabian.
Also, the quality of its wines and meats is worldly
known and the new Argentine cuisine has reached an international
level.
Culture, natural beauty, cuisine. Argentina has something
to offer you at every corner of the country!
