Argentina
A holiday to Argentina is a holiday for the senses. It has an incredibly diverse natural beauty, and there are few places on earth in one country where you can find rainforests, waterfalls, mountain ranges, plains and glaciers.
Some may prefer to see some of Argentina’s beauty by boat, with cruises around the cape becoming ever more popular. Even more so are those which also go to the Antarctic and Falkland Islands, where Argentina becomes the entry point to some of the most inaccessible places on earth. Of course, there is an abundance of wildlife – so its a great place to find whales and sea lines, along with birdwatching, fishing and seeing Penguins.
Argentina is also known for food, and specifically steak – they really do like a good grill. They also make some fabulous ‘new-world’ wines, this really should be on the list of anyone who likes good food and drink!
