Argentina - Breathtaking landscapes and vibrant urban centres

Argentina, sitting at the southernmost tip of Latin America, boasts some of the region’s most inspiring attractions, including the Andes mountains, plus glaciers, rainforests, waterfalls, wildlife reserves and, of course, its smoky capital, Buenos Aires, where you can dance the tango and party till dawn. Brightsun Travel offers year round cheap holidays to Argentina so you can experience everything that this diverse country has to offer. In Argentina you can hike the tallest mountain in Latin America, the Aconcagua, one of the Seven Summits of the World, stretching almost 7000 metres high, located just north of Mendoza and on the border with Chile. The mountain and its surrounding Aconcagua Provincial Park boast glaciers stretching 10 metres long and red coloured rocks of volcanic origin. Or, for something a little less demanding, head to the stunning Parque Nacional Los Glaciares and you could marvel at beautiful glaciers and hike the Fitz Roy Range that has well marked trails for all levels. Then there are the spectacular Lake District and Patagonia regions, both outdoor enthusiast’s delights, where you can trek, ski and explore forests, lakes and coastlines. Finally, head to the World Heritage valley of Quebrada de Humahuaca and gaze at colourful rock formations.  

If it’s urban areas that interest you, you could admire some of Argentina’s best-preserved colonial architecture in Salta, or head to the glorious capital city of Buenos Aires and roam its many neighbourhoods and indulge in its fantastic food scene. Starting in the San Telmo neighbourhood, you could wind your way through cobbled streets and discover the birthplace of the tango. Then on to the city’s Plaza de Mayo and the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA), one of the best art galleries in the continent. And let’s not forget the city’s food scene. All across Buenos Aires you can drink at incredible coffee houses and wine bars, take a snack in traditional ‘parrilladas’ and eat at some of the best restaurants in the continent.
