Argentina

Located in the southern part of South America, Argentina stretches from the desert plains of the north to the shimmering glaciers of Patagonia. The country shares borders with Chile to the west and several other nations to the north and east. Its diverse geography includes the vast Pampas grasslands, the towering Andes, and the vibrant streets of Buenos Aires. Visitors can experience a rich cultural heritage, from sipping Malbec in Mendoza’s vineyards to riding horses with gauchos across the Pampas, or marveling at the thunderous Iguazú Falls.
