The plains of Patagonia. The soaring peaks of the Andes. And the majestic boulevards of Buenos Aires. Argentina is an impossibly vast and beautiful country that keeps drawing travelers back to its varied landscapes and cities. For the adventurous, there's a great outdoors which few places in the world can match, with unrivalled climbing and hiking from Tierra del Fuego in the south to Salta in the north. For foodies, the best steak in the world, raised on spectacular ranches, cooked on simple parrillas (grills) and washed down with the finest Malbec from Mendoza. And for culture fiends, a capital teeming with the best theater, dance and art in South America. -
