Buenos Aires tango, Patagonia wilderness, Mendoza wine, and the world's best steak — everywhere.
Argentina is the most culturally rich country in South America — Buenos Aires is world-class, the wine is exceptional, and Patagonia is as dramatic as advertised. The economic situation makes it cheaper for foreigners than it's been in decades.
Each region has a completely different character. Here is what to expect.
The Paris of South America — tango, steak, Malbec, and one of the world's great cities. La Boca's Caminito, Palermo's design district, San Telmo's Sunday antiques market. Stay in Palermo for the best balance of safety, nightlife and cafe culture.
Wine country at the foot of the Andes — Malbec tastings at bodegas you cycle between, views of Aconcagua (highest peak outside Asia), and rafting on the Mendoza River.
Perito Moreno glacier — constantly calving ice into Lago Argentino. El Calafate is the gateway. El Chaltén is the trekking capital with free national park access and extraordinary Fitz Roy views.
Wider than Niagara, taller than Victoria Falls — the Argentine side gives the most dramatic close-up experience. The Devil's Throat walkway puts you metres from the main cascade.
Buenos Aires is very affordable.
Steak restaurant dinner £8-15.
Hostel dorm £8-14.
Long-distance cama buses (flat beds) are excellent and cheap.
Domestic flights save days on longer trips..
Argentina's beef industry has a large environmental footprint — balance steak nights with locally-grown produce from markets. Patagonia's wilderness is fragile; stick to marked trails. Support indigenous Andean community tourism in the northwest (Salta, Jujuy).
