Top places to visit in Argentina
Buenos Aires
If you’re a fan of steak or fine wine you may find yourself lingering in Buenos Aires. Argentina’s capital is a food and wine delight with steakhouses on almost every corner. Away from excellent cuisine, Buenos Aires also offers grand French and Italian-style architecture, a plethora of galleries and a vibrant street art scene.
Los Glaciares National Park
The glaciers in Los Glaciares National Park really are a grand sight. From Perito Moreno, known for the dramatic icefalls from its front wall, to ice that appears to flow through waterfalls and some of the most accessible glaciers in the world, it’s no wonder this is a hiker’s paradise.
Mendoza
In Mendoza, you can trek through vast open plains on horseback via rugged dirt tracks, the vast mountainscape all around you, or head to a local bar to make your way through a bottle of Argentinian wine accompanied by tender meats and local cheeses instead. Either way, Mendoza is a must-visit.
Córdoba
Córdoba does get unfairly overlooked by tourists, but the locals know better. It’s a city full of colonial history with the main plaza overlooked by a picturesque colonial cathedral. Art and culture abound, thanks to the Evita Fine Arts Museum and the Cordoba Cultural Centre.
