Argentina

About Argentina

Argentina sweeps down the southern half of South America, from subtropical forests and the thundering Iguazú Falls to the glaciers of Patagonia and the tip of Tierra del Fuego. Its capital, Buenos Aires, is a grand port city on the Río de la Plata famed for tango, cafés, and European-style boulevards. Gauchos, beef, wine, and the towering Andes complete the national portrait.
