A two-week trip to Argentina
Argentina is a country of incredible landscapes and many climatic zones. This is the severely beautiful Patagonia in the south, the powerful Iguazu waterfalls in the northeast, the bright, lively Buenos Aires, sunny grape Mendoza and the lunar valley of Ischigualasto. We tell you which places you should definitely visit in Argentina on your next vacation.
What to see in Argentina
Buenos Aires
Elegant but always noisy Buenos Aires embodies the very essence of Argentina: in every quarter of the city, someone is either dancing, singing, or painting. Its compact green center, where neat high—rise buildings alternate with buildings of the XIX century, resembles the secluded corners of Paris, and each quarter has its own character and charm.
In the vibrant port quarter of La Boca, you can watch tango dancers and street artists. In the Recoleta cemetery, which looks like a mini-city, you can look at the mausoleums where Argentine celebrities are buried. In the fashionable office district of Puerto Madero, high-class steakhouses are located in rebuilt buildings, where it is worth trying the main Argentine dish - asado (meat baked on coals). Beyond this block begins the Kostanera Sur Ecological Reserve - a place for secluded walks and relaxation from the hustle and bustle of the city. And people come to the trendy Palermo district to sit in the best restaurants, bars and go shopping.
Cordova
This trendy Argentinean metropolis with Spanish colonial architecture is often overlooked. But if you want to enjoy the nightlife and cultural life, then Cordova should be included in your list. It is home to the country's oldest universities, several UNESCO World Heritage Sites and contemporary art galleries.
Iguazu Falls
To admire the Argentine part of the famous giant Iguazu waterfalls, you need to get to the city of Puerto Iguazu. We recommend flying here, as a truly spectacular view opens up already upon landing.
You will have to purchase an entrance ticket to Iguazu National Park. There are several viewing platforms where you can see the waterfalls from all sides. Thrill seekers ride a speedboat right under the falling water. In addition, the waterfalls are surrounded by picturesque jungles, through which hiking trails are laid — lay out for a walk in the park all day.
Mendoza Region
The Mendoza region is the cradle of Argentine winemaking, and the country's best vineyards are located here. This is a mecca for all malbec lovers. Come to the city of Mendoza with the same name, it is located between two valleys of vineyards, Valle de Uco and Lujan de Cuyo, and go on a tour of the surrounding wineries and city wine shops. This can be done even by bike, rental is available in the city.
Mendoza was also favored by Gaucho — Argentine cowboys. Many have ranches here, to which they invite tourists and organize horse rides and traditional dinners for them.
Los Glaciares National Park
Los Glaciares National Park in the southern Andes attracts nature and trekking enthusiasts. This is the territory of Southern Patagonia and here is the grandiose Perito Moreno glacier (the third largest freshwater reserve on the planet), the largest freshwater lake in Argentina - Lago Argentino, as well as the Fitzroy mountain range.
