Facts about Argentina

Tourist Overview: The world's 8th largest country covering 2.8m km2, Argentina is the land of Gauchos, Asado, Mate, Pampas, Tango, and Dulce de leche. The name immediately conjures up the image of big steaks, passionate men and women and long night of eating the best meat of the world and sipping mate, afterwards. The capital city Buenos Aires is the center of the country in all ways except its geographical location. With the Rio de la Plata, in the East of the country, it is actually the city that is closest to the Old Continent, and probably the most European city in South America. Behind Buenos Aires, the land of the Pampas begins. Many towns with historical centers that go back to colonial are worth visiting. In the West of the country the Andes mountains (some over 6,000m), near Mendoza and San Juan, offer great outdoor opportunities: hiking, skiing and much more. Patagonia, the far south of Argentina is a rugged and cold land. It is great for the lovers of nature and wildlife; big glaciers that go directly into the Ocean, birds, seals and other arctic animals abound.
