    Argentina’s Top tourist attractions & the best time to visit each<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    1. In Patagonia<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    \n

    Perito Moreno Glacier<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \"Panoramic<\/a>
    The Perito Moreno Glacier – Still going strong instead of melting<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Los Glaciares National Park<\/a> is a tourist destination in Patagonia that needs to be at the top of your list. It shelters the majestic Perito Moreno Glacier and a very well laid out runways system that allows magnificent views of it. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Other impressive glaciers you get to see once inside the National Park are the Upsala, Onelli and Spegazzini, to name just a few of the best looking ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Of course you can go beyond plain sightseeing and do some serious adventure stuff like kayaking in Lake Argentino among ice detachments or even walking on millenary glacier surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Open all year long, to access this UNESCO World Heritage Site you can fly direct from Buenos Aires to El Calafate<\/a> (its airport code is FTE and total flight time is 3 hours). Plus, if you happen to travel from October to April, you also have convenient land access to Mt. Fitz Roy<\/a> and Torres del Paine National Park which are two other major, much sought after tourist spots in Patagonia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    Ushuaia & Tierra del Fuego<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \"Ushuaia<\/a>
    Ushuaia – Tierra del Fuego – End of the World<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    One of the dreams of many tourists is to travel as far as possible to the south of the World. If you belong to this group and opt to include Ushuaia and Tierra del Fuego in your tour itinerary, you will get more than that however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How about riding the mythical Train of the End of the World<\/a>, sailing the Beagle Channel<\/a>, skiing at the southernmost ski resort on Earth, or perhaps embarking on a cruise that reaches Antarctica? All these literally unique experiences take place in Tierra del Fuego<\/strong>, where you will arrive either on one of the many daily flights (airport code: USH \/ 3.30 hours flying direct) or on a cruise ship, as it is an island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The best time to visit this corner of Argentina is directly related to your interests: Antarctica cruises depart from November to March, skiing is possible from June till October whereas the rest of the excursions, sightseeing and activities are available all year long.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    \n

    Bariloche<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/a>
    Bariloche is the gateway to the Andean Lakes District<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Bariloche surpasses all expectations from the moment you arrive till the very last minute of your stay. To begin with, there are impressive landscapes of the Andean Lakes district for sightseeing all around and a lot of thrilling activities to choose from (skiing, hiking, rafting, fishing… you name it). And then there\u2019s the local food. The Patagonian craft beer. The chocolate. The people… When your stay in the area eventually comes to its end you will find it difficult to leave Bariloche<\/a>, for memorable good reasons.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This city is very well connected with the rest of Argentina with many direct flights a day (airport code: BRC), intercity bus services, and a regional train that connects the Andes with the Atlantic ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Each season of the year has its particular charm in this part of Patagonia. October to March is the best time for tours, navigations and excursions along with our Fall (mid March to mid June), when all colors and scents of Nature come alive. <\/strong>Finally the timeframe from June till mid September is the skiing season par excellence<\/em> in Bariloche<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    Puerto Madryn<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \"Mimicking<\/a>
    Mimicking the Penguins in Punta Tombo – Patagonia Argentina<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Whales, Elephant Seals, Sea Lions, Penguins, Dolphins, Orcas and the list goes on. This area of Patagonia is a marine fauna paradise. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    From Puerto Madryn<\/a> you will have easy access to both Valdes Peninsula for Whale Watching navigations, and also to Punta Tombo Penguin rookery with its more than 1 million specimens where, as long as you do not make physical contact, you will be even allowed to walk among them<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For a trip to Puerto Madryn, fauna seasons determine the moment you will want to travel<\/strong>. Oversimplified, the perfect time would be the months of October and November but make sure you read the fine print before deciding your dates<\/a> in firm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is a tourist destination in Argentina that is served by two airports: the one in the city of Puerto Madryn itself (code: PMY) with fewer frequencies but closer to hotels and the airport of Trelew (code: REL) located 50 km away, but with up to 4 daily direct flights to and from Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    2. Beyond Patagonia<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    Mendoza, Wine Country<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"
    Mendoza is the home of the best Malbec wines<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The province of Mendoza deserves to be in your list of possible touring destinations in Argentina. Its capital city (also named Mendoza<\/a>), is lovely and invites to relaxation while enjoying urban pleasures at some of its tree lined streets and elegant avenues at any time of the year. Wine & food are excellent here<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At Mendoza’s surroundings you can visit Argentina’s most internationally renowned wine manufacturers and of course attend great wine tastings<\/strong> along the way. This activity is called “The Wine Roads<\/a>” and you should definitely include it in your schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Mendoza not only offers traditional sightseeing all year round but also active tourism alternatives like skiing (June to August), rafting, trekking (October to April) or even climbing the highest mountain peak in the world outside Asia: the Aconcagua<\/a> with its 6962 mamsl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Mendoza is just about some 90 min. from Buenos Aires if flying direct (airport code: MDZ) and you can also arrive by land from Chile, if you happen to enter South America via Santiago instead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    Buenos Aires<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"
    Buenos Aires hosts the most beautiful bookstore in the world<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The magnificence of the buildings and the exquisite details in its eclectic architecture make Buenos Aires<\/a> a unique and absolutely personal Babel that dazzles. The nickname \u201cLatin America\u2019s Paris\u201d is common in travel literature regarding Buenos Aires, a city where the most sophisticated architectural trends can be found. These splendid styles were adopted at the dawn of the XXth century in order to show the \u201clast European tendencies that were in at that time\u201d,<\/strong> such as baroque, art nouveau, neoclassic, renaissance, art deco and modern and started to merge with the newer imposing skyscrapers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It is the capital city of Argentina and the default entry point if coming by plane (airport code: EZE). Its metro area has above 16 million inhabitants, which puts Buenos Aires among the 10 most populated cities in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Buenos Aires shares the world’s top 3 with London and New York City in terms of cultural offerings.<\/strong> For instance, it is normal to have more than 250 live theater shows on stage per weekend. Libraries and bookstores are almost everywhere and museums are among the finest. Spending at least 3 or 4 days in Buenos Aires is fundamental in any proper visit to Argentina. Unlike other argentinian tourist spots, there is no “best season” to come to Buenos Aires as it is a pulsating city at any time of the year, day and night.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    The Iguazu Falls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \"Cataratas
    The impressive Iguazu Falls are a World Wonder<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    No other waterfalls in the world compare even remotely to Iguazu. Nature shows its power and grandiosity like nowhere else here at Iguaz\u00fa National Park<\/a>. Seriously, there isn’t any picture or high definition shooting that can really transmit what these Falls are like live<\/em><\/strong>. You need to be in front of them, walk the footbridges upon the rivers that lead to Devil’s Throat and hear the waters roaring. Only then you will know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Iguazu Falls<\/a>, shared by Argentina and Brazil are open and can be visited all year long.<\/strong> You will want to check both countries’ National Parks: they are complementary due to the different types of views you get of the Falls from each of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    From Buenos Aires there are many direct flights to Puerto Iguaz\u00fa<\/a> a day (airport code: IGR) with a total flight time of 100 minutes. You can also get to Iguaz\u00fa flying in from Brazil; in this case you will need to search for flights arriving in Foz Do Igua\u00e7u (code: IGU) instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Regarding the weather conditions, summers in Iguaz\u00fa are truly hot, however most -if not all- decent hotels offer outdoors swimming pools and have air conditioning in the rooms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Skiing in Patagonia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Argentina is the right destination for skiing<\/a> from mid June till late September. Its resorts are suitable for different budgets and needs ranging from the most exclusive ones, with world-class services, to smaller ski centers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/span>
    \n

    Scuba Diving<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Among all the available dive sites in Argentina, the Patagonian region is the preferred one by scuba divers<\/a> thanks to the transparency of its waters.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
