Argentina Travel guide
Argentina : Michelin's recommendations
La Pampa... Tango and Carlos Gardel... Evita Perón... An array of striking images brought together in just one country: Argentina, an ancestral land, a melting pot of different cultures, including those brought by Spanish settlers and large waves of European immigration at the turn of the 20th century.
This giant of South America covers some 2.8 million km2. The Andes, which peak at Mt Aconcagua (6 959m), separate Argentina from Chile to the west; to the northeast, the country shares the fantastic site of Iguazú Falls with Brazil. To the south, Tierra del Fuego stretches towards Antarctica, with mythical Patagonia lying in between, north of the Strait of Magellan: glaciers, including the famous Perito Moreno, formidable mountains such as Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre, which attract the most seasoned mountaineers, and vestiges of Argentina''s indigenous people, including handprints left more than 10 000 years ago in the Cuevo de la Manos.
But Argentina cannot be summed up by a description of its landscapes alone. It has to be experienced, and what better place to start than the capital, European-feeling Buenos Aires, with its whirlwind atmosphere, palpable creative energy, and buzzing night life? A gigantic city that is home to 13 million Porteños... A city that mirrors the country it represents, grandiose and eclectic.
