South AmericaSouth America
A continent of extreme landscapes, fascinating wildlife, colourful history and intriguing cultures, South America exudes a sense of mystery and wonder. Home to the world's highest waterfall, largest river, tallest mountain range, driest desert and largest rainforest, the scenery is jaw-dropping. Past civilisations have left their mark, particularly at Machu Picchu, while the modern cities retain architectural wonders and cultures from the past.
Argentina
Argentina has been strongly influenced by its European roots and Buenos Aires is often said to be the most European city in South America. Also influential in Argentina is the Gaucho (cowboy) way of life and culture of self-reliance. It is truly a blend of the sophisticated and the basic, the modern and the seasoned, the wild and the cultured. The wild plains country of the central pampas and the Patagonian glaciers. Argentina invites you in to all its unspoiled natural wonders, its great beauty and friendliness, and the thrill of discovering something completely new, unique and never experienced.
