At the Southeastern coast of South America lays Argentina – the land of large plains, 
sharp mountains, dense rainforests, glamorous glaciers and powerful waterfalls. 
Argentina has something to give for every type of traveller, offering a South American
 must-visit attractions. We prepared a list for top things to do in Argentina, from 
extreme adventures to one in a million natural wonders. 
1. Iguazú Falls
If you’re thinking of a destination “to see before you die”, Iguazú Waterfalls ranks 
nearly top of the list. This view and sound cannot be compared with any other, which 
is placed on 2,250 square kilometres of parkland, linking with Brazil. Totally 275 
waterfalls build up a river. To explore the falls comprehensively, you should probably
 take a boat trip which is unmissable. Organasing your trip during a full moon is 
suggested, which is organised by the park itself. To book your rooms online near

Not only being the capital and largest city of Argentina, Buenos Aires is one of the 
world’s most alive cities with outstanding art, fabulous food and passionate population
 blazingly addicted to having fun all night long. The Palermo Viejodistrict is a trendy 
neighborhood with charming cobblestone streets, bookstores, bars, and boutiques, 
La Boca is another district where you can see colorful metal buildings to snap. 
Avenida 9 de Julio is the widest avenue in the world. So this makes it a must-see in

6. The Cementerio de la Recoleta 
This is where all the rich families in Buenos Aires have their final resting places. 
Expect to see big ornate tombs. Be sure to visit the tomb of Eva Perón, the daughter 
of an aristocrat and beloved First Lady who, despite having the most visited tomb in
 the cemetery, is considered by many to be too close toward the people for eternal 
interment in Recoleta. Galahotels.com/BuenosAires

7. A March at Glacier Perito Moreno
Among the Earth’s most dynamic and accessible ice fields, Glaciar Perito Moreno 
is the stunning natural wonder of the Parque Nacional Los Glaciares. It measures 
30km long, 5km wide and 60m high, but what makes it exceptional in the world of ice
is its constant advance – up to 2m per day, causing building-sized icebergs to calve
from its face. In some ways, watching the glacier is a very sedentary park experience,
but it manages to nonetheless be thrilling. You can also make a trekking on the ice 
with an organisation.

8. Mendoza Wine Tours
The small town of Maipú, near  Mendoza, is so packed with wineries, olive oil farms 
and other gourmet businesses that it’s easy to hit five or six in a day. Try a “vino-therapy” 
bath or grape-seed exfoliation in the spa. All in all, this is a gentle start to explore the 
Mendoza region and all it has to offer in terms of winery tours, hiking, rafting and horse 
riding. To check available rooms online, Galahotels.com/Mendoza

Argentina, A Winning Vacation Place

Make certain that you visit Argentina if you are planning a trip to South America. Argentina is becoming a favorite destination for tourists from both North America and overseas.

Argentina has been in the spotlight as of late but not because of their rich and natural beauty. The country has been facing a financial struggle which actually works in the favor of people browsing for a South American vacation spot.

The reason for this is simple – the flailing financial state of Argentina has made it even more economical to those planning a visit. This means that you can travel there without having to spend a small fortune. Combine that with the beauty of the country and you’ve got a winning holiday destination.

When you visit Argentina you’ll need to consider where you want to stay. There are several areas that are appealing to visitors and it’s important to understand the benefits of each in order to choose the one that is right for you.

One, if not the most, popular destination is Buenos Aires. This is a wonderful, vibrant place for anyone to spend time in. If you are flying to Argentina from another destination you will be landing in Buenos Aires. Many people therefore, plan to spend a few days in this culturally rich city before venturing to other parts of the country.

Buenos Aires is home to over three million people which makes a visit to the city worthwhile. You will never tire of things to do and you can soak up the rich culture of this Latin community in lots of ways.

You also need to prepare yourself before you leave. There are a few things to put on your to do list and this includes becoming familiar with the customs of the locales.

In Argentina the majority of the citizens are Spanish speaking. If you took a few Spanish classes in grade school you may well have a leg up as just a simple knowledge of the language can be enough to get by.


If you are planning on staying at one of the hotels or resorts that are found in Argentina you will most likely be greeted through an American speaking staff. You need not worry that you’ll be unable to communicate once there, as the hotels recognize that the majority of people visiting are English speaking.

The currency in Argentina is the Pesos. To save money it’s advised that you exchange your money before leaving your country of residence. Although there is resources available to exchange funds in Argentina there may be a service charge in place.

You don’t need vaccinations when visiting Argentina so that’s not a concern. You should pack plenty of UV protecting sunscreen though, as the weather in Argentina can be very hot and the sun shines brightly much of the year.

Visiting Argentina is a wonderful way for couples or families alike to spend their vacation. It’s an economical destination that is rich in native culture.
