About Argentina

Argentina is a large country in South America, home to both the continent’s highest and lowest points. The inhabitants of the eighth largest nation on the planet are well-known for their gaucho culture, passion for football and superb beef steaks, whilst the land itself boasts some of the highest Andes peaks, magnificent glaciers in Patagonia and the spectacular Iguazu Falls. Buenos Aires is the lively capital, home to around three million locals known as ‘people from the port’. Often compared to a European city due to its eclectic mix of cuisine and Spanish-style city streets, Buenos Aires is also where the Tango dance was conceived, arguably Argentina’s most famous contribution to the rest of the world. Travelling by ferry is an easy way to hop across the border from Uruguay, as there are frequent high-speed routes on offer to Buenos Aires, with some crossings lasting just over an hour.
