Country

Argentina

Argentina is a land of passion, from the tango halls of Buenos Aires to the glaciers of Patagonia. It's a country of extremes: the subtropical Iguazu Falls in the north and the 'End of the World' in Ushuaia. Argentines are proud, loud, and incredibly welcoming. And yes, the steak and Malbec are as good as they say.

Vibe: South America / Southern Cone

Transport

Long-distance buses (coche cama) are luxurious and comfortable. Domestic flights (Aerolineas Argentinas, Flybondi) are essential for covering vast distances. In BA, the Subte (subway) is efficient.

Food

Asado (BBQ) is a religion. Try bife de chorizo (sirloin). Empanadas (meat pies) are the perfect snack. Dulce de leche is in everything. Mate is the herbal tea everyone carries around.

FAQ
