Argentina country travel information & pictures

Tango, Gauchos, Argentina Barbecue, Ushuaia, Iguazu!

Argentina is one of my favorite countries! It's just so diverse! In the north, in Iguazu, it's tropical rainforest jungle. In south Argentina, Ushuaia, it's can be frigid! In big city Buenos Aires, you can shop till you drop, then have dinner at a tango show, or spend the day in the country at an estancia, with gauchos at a barbecue..

I purposely planned my trip to Argentina in mid-November, when it's Spring in South America. In Spring, the days are very long, especially in the south, and the weather is at its warmest. I really wanted to see Tierra del Fuego National Park. November is shoulder or low season, so it's cheaper to travel, and less crowded. Bonus!

From Ushuaia, I flew north to Buenos Aires where the weather is generally pleasant year round (except in their winter (July, August), when it's chilly, and there can be fierce windstorms.

After several weeks of touring around, I was hopelessly smitten with both Argentina and Chile: I loved the foods, the South American lifestyle, and especially, the warm and friendly people.
