The travel experts at Holiday Hamster can plan your trip to Argentina, taking care of all the details, so all you have to think about is what to pack.

Argentina Awaits

Argentina is located in the southern half of South America and is the second-largest country in the continent after Brazil. Argentina is known for its love of soccer, its fantastic wine and its evocative dance – the Tango.

A vibrant, incredibly rich culture and a passion for delicious food, which, unfortunately for any vegetarian, is very meat-heavy. Argentina is the highest meat-eating country in the world, and its steaks are considered to be some of the best in the world due to the free-roaming cows, grass-fed cattle and the way the meat is prepared.

You’ll be blown away by the diverse landscapes in Argentina, from beaches and waterfalls to jungles, deserts and glaciers – there is plenty to entice all types of travellers.

Urban Wonders

Head to the vibrant capital of Buenos Aires to marvel at the colourful neighbourhood of La Boca. Visit the Caminito Street Museum – a fantastic open-air museum where you can watch tango dancers, admire the colourful buildings and enjoy food in one of the many cafés.

Travellers looking for outdoor activities should take a trip to the beautiful city of Mendoza. This beautiful city is popular year-round when skiers come to enjoy one of the most popular ski resorts in the Andes during winter and partake in whitewater rafting, horseback riding and hiking during the warmer months.

History buffs will want to make a stop at the beautiful city of Córdoba to marvel at the majestic Cathedral of Córdoba. Set in the charming Plaza San Martin, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is stuffed full of historical buildings and fascinating stories.

Peaks & Falls

The incredible Iguazú Falls will likely be on your list – and for good reason. This incredible natural beauty sits on the border between Argentina and Brazil in two national parks and is protected as a UNESCO Site.

The majestic falls are made up of many smaller waterfalls stretching over the border between the two countries, and you can visit both sides of the falls in one day with special tickets. The Argentinian section of the Andes offers some of the best hiking in the world and is a big draw for outdoor lovers.

Head to Patagonia and the Argentinian Lake District for some spectacular hiking trails. You can complete the treks in several days and stay in lodges overnight in the mountains.
