Argentina: the land of the Gaucho, the Tango and the Andes. The second largest country in the continent, Argentina is a fascinating triangular shaped country offering a wide variety of attractions, from the world's largest casino in Mar del Plata to Peninsula Valdez with its incredible penguin rookeries.  

Beyond its sophisticated capital city of Buenos Aires, Argentina will astonish the visitor with fine wines, the giant Iguazu Falls plunging 60 metres on the border with Brazil, the Aconcagua (the highest peak in the Americas at 6960 metres), the pampas (the world's richest grasslands), and Bariloche (one of the most popular international ski resorts).  

In the far south you have Lago Argentina, one of the most photogenic mountain, glacier and lake areas in the world, where the awe inspiring Perito Moreno Glacier is the only one in the world still growing. At the bottom is Tierra del Fuego and the most southern city in the world, Ushuaia, overlooking the Beagle Channel and stepping-off point to the frozen continent of Antarctica. Argentina is simply amazing!
