Located in the southern part of South America, Argentina is the eighth largest country in the world, taking up most of the southern portion of the continent. This massive country boasts an incredibly varied landscape, from the spectacular Andes, vast deserts and fiery volcanoes, to lush forests, miles of ocean shoreline and shimmering glaciers. Argentina bursts with flavour and energy, with its inviting parrillas (grill houses), rowdy futbol games, thriving nightlife and vibrant festivals. This majestic country also has over 30 beautiful national parks to explore.
The Iguazu Falls is the largest waterfall in the world; so big in fact, that it spans two countries. A chain of hundreds of waterfalls over 3 kms long, Iguazu National Park lies between Argentina and Brazil. The falls originate from the Iguazu river, which forms the boundary between the two countries. These thundering cascades can be accessed easily from both countries, with the Argentinian side involving hiking and walking safaris, while the Brazilian side offers a closer viewing point, the Devil’s Throat, a breathtakingly long, narrow chasm of water.
Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Los Glaciares National Park is the largest park in Argentina, located in the Austral Andes region. This icy wonderland is composed of 47 major glaciers, as well as glittering lakes, rugged mountains and subarctic forests. Here travellers can hike across the top of the famous Perito Moreno glacier, ride horses along beautiful lakes, join a safari to the Southern Patagonian Ice Cap, and explore the impressive Fitz Roy Massif. Travellers to the area can see ñandúes (Rhea bird), guanaco (a llama-like animal), cougar and South American gray fox.
Tierra del Fuego, which means ‘Land of Fire’, is an archipelago off the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. The Tierra del Fuego National Park was the first coastal national park in Argentina, and extends 630 sq km from the Beagle Channel in the south to beyond Lago Fagnano in the north. The landscape of this area varies from glacial topography and forests to snowy mountain peaks. Travellers to the park can enjoy hiking, canoe safaris, bus tours and sailing safaris. Here a variety of sea and land birds can be spotted, as well as the Red Fox, European rabbit and North American Beaver.
