Top 12 places to visit in Argentina
The tropical country of Argentina seems to have it all - paradise beaches, natural wonders, vibrant cities, ice fields, cave systems and alpine retreats. With over 23 provinces it can be difficult to know where to begin when planning your holiday. So, here’s our pick of the best destinations to visit in Argentina.
1. Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires, where glam marries grit at the heart of Argentina. A seductive city with a passion for tango and a love for food. Captivating Latin and underground jazz pulse through the night as sleepless bars come alive all over town. Baroque churches sit aside bohemian, Parisian cafes, and aromatic parrillas grill meats roadside, filling the streets with fragrant spices.
Colonial streets lead to the historic heart, filled with religious and cultural landmarks. Visit La Plaza Mayo to soak up Argentina's fascinating history, spend the night in Palermo experiencing the intense dance shows. And when the party's over, tuck into one of Argentina's famous cuts at an all-night steak house.
Did you know?
The Avenia 9 de Julio in Buenos Aries is the widest avenue in the world at 460 feet wide.
2. Mendoza
Mendoza, the heart of Argentina’s wine industry, is one of the prettiest cities in the country and an excellent base for outdoor activities. Skiing, horseback riding, river rafting, hiking the vast plateaus or scaling the soaring Aconcagua. Spend a day biking through the grape-filled vineyards, tasting the famed Malbec with the Argentine Andes as your backdrop. The leafy streets, charming Spanish plazas and unique setting make Mendoza a highlight of any tour to Argentina.
3. Ibera Wetlands
Ibera Wetlands is the largest freshwater reservoir in South America, located in northeast Argentina. Explore the versatile agriculture and Atlantic rainforests that are unique to the area. Enjoy the slow pace, gliding through pristine wetlands, dressed in waterlilies and filled with rich wildlife.
Take a horse-drawn canoe across the swamps and lagoons looking out for cattle gathering at the water's edge. Ibera Wetlands is a remote, hidden gem of sleepy backwaters and mossy marshlands housing alligators, marsh deer and an abundant bird population.

El Calafate is surrounded by some of the most natural, rustic beauty in the country.

The town itself is comprised of paved streets, souvenir shops, museums and dotted with adorable wooden houses.
11. Iguazu Falls
A place featuring on many bucket lists is the roaring Iguazu Falls, one of the most stunning natural wonders in the world. Straddling the border between Argentina and Brazil, the Iguazu falls are surrounded by dense jungle teeming with wildlife. You cannot begin to imagine the intensity of 275 waterfalls until you are standing at the base, in all its glory. Take the tourist train through the jungle or tour the base of the falls by boat. It's also a great place to go hiking.

12. Puerto Madryn
Situated on the coast of Golfo Nuevo, lies Puerto Madryn - the gateway to the Peninsula Valdes. Puerto Madryn is famous for its whale watching. Visit from July to September when the southern right whales swim right up to the shore and penguins pack the rocks of Punta Tombo.

What's so special about Buenos Aries?
At the moment, Argentina is great value for money due to the recent sharp decline in the value of the peso. It is a seductive, diverse and vast country full of contrasts. From the icy end-of-the-earth Ushuaian wilderness to the European influence of the capital. The indigenous north in the Andean foothills, to gaucho estancias and the fast-developing viticulture, there’s a lot to sink your teeth into.
