Argentina

The birthplace of tango and home of the gauchos, Argentina will not cease to inspire you with its breath-taking landscapes, its rich cultural identity and the congeniality of its people. The great variety of climates spanning over the many latitudes of this vast country foster a unique contrast of scenery, from the tropical forests of Iguazu to the desert region of Salta to the spectacular glaciers of Patagonia
