Unparalleled diversity is probably the best phrase to describe Argentina. Spanning nearly 3, 800km and covering an area over 2,776,890 sq km, Argentina is a colossal country, and subsequently the eighth largest country on the planet.
With all this space, there is a wealth of options for the humble traveller. Over the past few years Argentina has become a very popular tourist destination, this is likely to be down to the fact that a visit to Argentina, quite simply, feels like a trip to hundreds of countries rolled into one!
For instance, to the West of Argentina lies the worlds longest exposed mountain range, the Andes; 4,500 miles of stunning icy peaks and vast ravines. Home to the protected province of Aconcagua, experienced hikers and novices alike will be in their element here.
A trip to the North East will allow you to witness the Iguazú Falls, the worlds most impressive waterfalls. Comprised of 250 different falls, Iguazú Falls is a truly awe-inspiring experience.
Moreover, Argentina’s climate has resulted in an interestingly varied population of plants and animals throughout this region.
If you’re looking for something a little more upbeat and commercial, then in true Argentina style, you have the capital, Buenos Aires on the Western Coast!
Dubbed as “a city without boundaries”, you’re going to find it very hard to leave behind its addictive charm and charisma. Home to 13 million Porteños, it may come across a little daunting upon your first visit.
Venture into the Southern area of the city though and you’ll be welcomed by the locals who bounce along to the vibrant beat of the tango in their colourful and quirky districts.
Looking for something a little more sophisticated? Then the Northern areas of the capital are likely to be more your scene, with an abundance of fashionable shops, hotels, clubs and restaurants.
If you plan on exploring the country then it may be a good idea to book your hotels in advance, ensuring your not left “high and dry”!
In conclusion, which ever corner of Argentina you find yourself in, you’re sure to be back there very, very soon.
Having a quick check online for cheap hotels should help free up some cash so you can really indulge in the atmosphere too.
