Argentina's diverse geography encompasses everything from harsh deserts to humid jungles, and long ocean beaches to the soaring Andes. Stretching from the subtropical north to the subantarctic regions of beautiful Patagonia in the south, Argentina's cultural, artistic, and architectural heritage is just as diverse, drawing upon influences from around the world.
With its wonderful barrios, including colorful arts neighborhoods such as La Boca, old-world Recoleta, and trendy districts like Palermo, Buenos Aires sometimes feels more like Europe than Latin America. This lively capital city is the best place to begin exploring (it's also the best place to learn to tango, the most iconic of Argentinian dances).
In addition to its many cultural attractions, the other big draws - and for some tourists its greatest appeal - are the country's natural wonders, including the breathtaking IguazĆŗ Falls, the world's largest group of waterfalls.
