    Where to Go on Your Argentina Tour

    Tierra del Fuego

    Translated as “Land of Fire,” Tierra del Fuego is perfect for nature lovers and keen hikers. Visit the Tierra del Fuego National Park where the Altos Andes meet the Patagonian Forest to see black-necked swans, grey foxes, and penguins. Hike through glaciers or sail the Beagle Channel—just be sure to bring a jacket as temperatures rarely rise above 48°F.

    Iguazú Falls

    Iguazú Falls is the world’s largest waterfall system. This truly extraordinary natural wonder is a worthy UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is the culmination of approximately 200 individual streams cascading into the “Devil’s Throat Canyon” on the border of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. The best time to visit is February through March, when the water level peaks and skies are at their clearest.

    Perito Moreno Glacier

    Visit Los Glaciares National Park to behold the Perito Moreno Glacier. Floating in the teal waters of Argentino Lake, this is one of the few “advancing” glaciers in the world. At a height of 240 feet and stretching over 3 miles, this colossal ice field is the third-largest in the world.

    Peninsula Valdes

    If you’re interested in seeing Argentina’s immensely diverse marine life, head to Peninsula Valdes - a Patagonian nature reserve. Go whale watching, scuba dive with elephant seals, or walk amongst a waddle of penguins - your Tourlane Travel Expert will gladly organize these experiences on your behalf. Inland hikes provide ample opportunity to spot the Argentine grey fox, the guanaco llama, and the flightless nandu bird.

    Nahuel Huapi National Park

    Settled in Argentina’s southwest Lake District, Nahuel Huapi National Park boasts 2,720 square miles of Patagonian wilderness and the deepest clear water lake in the country at 1,394 feet: Lake Nahuel Huapi. At the base of the park’s Andean cordillera, this glacial lake is surrounded by deciduous woodlands. Visit in autumn (March-May) when the winds calm and the trees change color.

    Buenos Aires

    The capital of Argentina is also the country's largest and most vibrant city. It’s easy to see why this exciting destination is known as the “Paris of South America,” with the wide boulevards, elegant townhouses, and vibrant cafe culture throughout. We recommend hiring a tour guide to help you see the best that this enormous metropolis has to offer. The city’s thriving gastronomy scene is perfect for those with a fondness for red meat and world-class wines. If you overindulge, there’s always the opportunity to dance it off with a late-night Tango session. 

    Mendoza

    In this fertile valley, you will find Argentina’s best vineyards and olive groves—a bottle of either makes the perfect souvenir. Stroll through the city’s main square, Plaza de Independencia, before grabbing a hot Fainâ—the Argentinian pizza. Tour the wineries by car, bike, or horse and take a long lunch while sampling the local delicacies. If the dazzling views of the Andes tempt you to discover more, head to the mountains to ski, raft, or hike the soaring peaks. Less

    What is the Food and Culture Like in Argentina?

    • Grilled meat and vegetable skewers at a typical Argentinian asado (barbecue).

      The best barbecues in the world

      A great way to experience Argentinian food and culture is through asado or parrillada - the country’s version of barbecue. This is Argentina’s national dish which originates from the country’s cowboys who used to feast off Argentina’s many cows. As well as beef, you’ll also find ribs, pork, and sausages on the barbecue. Argentina is a great destination for carnivorous travelers! The meat goes perfectly with a glass of delicious, locally produced Argentine wine. 

    • A table with empanadas and tortilla chips in the background.

      Delicious pastries worth devouring

      The cows that give Argentina fantastic steak also produce delicious dairy products, such as dulce de leche. This thick caramel is sweet, sticky, and present in many desserts, including sweet empanadas - a South American pastry. Savoury empanadas are also well worth trying, and typically feature ground beef or chicken. 

    What are the Best Events in Argentina?

    1. Tango dancers performing on the streets of Buenos Aires.

      From carnivals to Tango championships

      If you’re considering planning your Argentina vacation to coincide with a popular local event, and you want to experience a carnival atmosphere, visit during January and February to experience Gualeguaychu Carnival. With its bright costumes, live music, and floats, you’ll feel the amazing energy and dynamism of Argentina. If you’re interested in dance, the Buenos Aires Tango Festival and World Tango Championship takes place every February in the capital. If you’re new to the legendary Argentine dance, the festival includes beginner's Tango lessons! Expect to see couples performing the traditional dance all across Buenos Aires.
