Argentina: Why Visit?

I recently visited Argentina, after a long absence. I think the country has a great deal to offer: culture, food & wine, spectacular landscapes, great places to stay, fantastic shopping, a wide range of experiences, and best of all -  great value for travelers with US Dollars -- especially considering the current sky-high prices in many destinations in Europe and North America.
Here are my "top 10" reasons to visit Argentina now:















#1. The World in One Country

Argentina is many countries in one. In the Northeast, you'll find tropical jungles, vast wetlands, and mighty  Iguassu Falls with 275 cascades, largest and most impressive in the world. In the Northwest, dry valleys, red rock formations, and the high altiplano - with towns over 14,000 feet over sea level. In the center of the country, the fertile pampas, Argentina's breadbasket and heartland. In the South, the vast Patagonia region with dry steppes and glaciers, stretching towards Antarctica. Along the western border with Chile, the Andes, longest mountain range in the globe, with many snow-covered peaks higher than Mt. McKinley/Denali. Argentina is enormous - eighth largest country in the world, roughly the size of India. You could spend a month in Argentina and still not cover all the regions. 




















#2. Buenos Aires 

Most trips to Argentina begin or end in Buenos Aires, the country's capital city. Buenos Aires is a sprawling metropolis of over 15 million inhabitants at the mouth of the River Plate. The city is home to roughly one out of three Argentines. It's also the most European of all South American cities, with wide boulevards, grand architecture, beautiful parks, smart cafes and shops, a vibrant dining scene, and world-class cultural pursuits. The city combines the sophistication of Paris and Madrid with nonstop traffic, late hours, and an irrepressible Latin spirit. 























#3. Food, Wine, Empanadas, Dulce de Leche, and more

Argentines are justifiably proud of their delicious cuisine, especially the superb beef (among the world's best, according to connoisseurs), outstanding wines, pastas and pizzas, fresh seafood, and best of all - the empanadas (pictured above, my favorites), savory baked turnovers filled with meat, chicken, vegetables, and available throughout the country. And don't miss the desserts - particularly the ice cream (helado in Spanish) and my favorite: dulce de leche.




 

 













#4 Argentinos

Passionate, opinionated, resilient, charming, and proud, Argentines have many of the qualities of  Spanish and Italian immigrants, the two main nationalities that settled Argentina over the years. Prepare for great conversations about futbol (soccer), tango, politics, books, and food and wine.  Argentines are great company, and you are bound to return home with new friends, as I did.




















#5. Active & Adventure Options

Argentina attracts outdoor enthusiasts from all over the world, offering fantastic hiking, biking, trekking, mountain climbing, kayaking, horseback riding, sailing, skiing, snowboarding, fishing, golf, 4x4 adventures, Polo, and more. Whatever your passion is, you are bound to find great options in Argentina. 





 











#6. Cultural Pursuits

Argentina is the cultural capital of South America. Discover great museums and art collections, historic towns going back to the 16th century, street art, Teatro Colon, one of the world's finest opera houses, music - from traditional to classical, and my favorite bookstore in the world - El Ateneo Grand Splendid in Buenos Aires - a five-story temple for book lovers housed in a former theater photographed above.





 














 




#7. Great Places to stay

Throughout Argentina, you will find a wide range of hotel and resort options. From grand  hotels in the heart of Buenos Aires, to charming small luxury lodges with only 17 guestrooms, set within a 10,000-acre estate in deepest Patagonia. Stay at historic hotels, countryside resorts, mountain retreats, modern high-rises, countryside inns, resorts set within working vineyards, and everything in between. 

#8. Wildlife

Because of Argentina's wide range of habitats, climates, and elevations, the country offers a great variety of wildlife, including condors, pumas, whales off the coast of Peninsula Valdes, Magellanic penguins and seals in Tierra del Fuego, guanacos and llamas in the high Andes, as well as tropical birds and monkeys in the far north of the country.

#9. Spectacular Scenery

Wherever you travel, you are bound to be impressed with awe-inspiring landscapes, including magnificent peaks like Cerro Fitz Roy (photographed above left), to Serrania del Hornocal in the far northwest, with its multi-colored rocks showing centuries of wind and water erosion (above right). Argentina offers Alpine lakes, the endless Patagonian steppes, vast glaciers, tropical forests, rich wetlands, and the red rock country of Salta and Jujuy provinces, among many other beautiful regions. Prepare to be impressed.

#10. Value 

As of today, 1 USD equals 185 Argentinian Pesos, at the official rate. The starting category rates at two Vincent Vacations partner properties (Sofitel Buenos Aires and the Iguazu Grand in Iguassu Falls) for a stay beginning 01 MAY 23 are under $250 a night. Meals, drinks, taxis, entrance fees are a fraction of what you would pay in North America or Europe. Argentina offers phenomenal value for travelers arriving with US Dollars. 

For your travelers looking for new horizons + great value, think Argentina.
