Argentina is the land of the Pampas, the large plains that are home to the "gauchos" and their cattle. No wonder Argentina has the highest meat consumption per capita in the world! The European styled capital city of Buenos Aires is central to life in Argentina, but there are many other interesting destinations that can't be missed:

Drive through the Andes to Salta in the north western region where the Gaucho culture meets the Incan legends; feel the spray whilst taking a motor boat under the majestic Iguazu Falls; put on your crampons and trek in the Glaciers National Park; white water raft in the Lake District; taste an "Asado" - an Argie BBQ on a typical ranch in the Pampas; taste the finest Malbec wines in an exclusive vineyard in Mendoza; dance the Tango; learn to play Polo; watch Football... or simply relax and wander around Buenos Aires, the city of the "portenos" (harbour people).

These are just some of the diverse attractions where you can immerse yourself in all things South American.
