With its mountains, plains, tundra, pampas, glaciers, waterfalls and immense shoreline, Argentina is well worth an adventure sojourn. Most visitors start in Buenos Aires, itself a city which has a multitude of neighborhoods that showcase elegant hotels, top restaurants, unparalleled shopping.

The country is divided into four distinct regions: the high Andes, the north, the Pampas and of course, Patagonia.

The estancias of Argentina offer a rare treat. Gracious hosts allow you to experience gaucho life in remote settings. In the morning, you can be off on a 4×4 jeep adventure, head to glaciers, or go on a horseback ride, then be back in time to sit down for a tasty typical barbecue “asado.”

Iguazu Falls is on many bucket lists for a reason – they are the largest in the world, spanning across 14 miles and bracketing Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. Take a safari in the rainforest park and get ready for a splash-worthy sail under the pounding waterfalls.
