Buenos Aires, the heart of Argentina

Buenos Aires, capital of Argentina, is a remarkable city, full of contrasts, culture and unmissable sites. Enjoy its modern quarters such as the Puerto Madero, the business centre, or Palermo the bourgeois quarter where you will find plenty of restaurants and night life. Despite its reputation as a Hollywood-like quarter, it is also known for its numerous parks, its botanic garden and even its forest. Don't miss La Boca, a simpler and much more traditional quarter which will delight you with its colours and the open-air Tango museum.

For adventurers looking for new lands to discover, Patagonia is the ideal spot. In this region situated at the southern extremity of Argentina, you can admire the lakes, forests and snow-covered landscapes, or even climb Lanin Volcano. After a stop at El Calfate with its majestic glaciers, head for Ushuaia, the point nearest Antarctica, where you can visit the magnificent Terra del Fuego. Argentina offers many other sites known for their breath-taking landscapes. Whatever happens, don't miss the famous Iguaçu Falls, a magnificent collection of 275 waterfalls coming straight out of the forest. For a complete change of scenery, the Ischigualasto Park in western Argentina, offers all the charm of a desert.
