Synopsis

Vast and vibrant, Argentina has it all―adventure, culture, luxury, scenery―and it's still great value. From eating beefsteak in Buenos Aires to drinking Malbec in Mendoza, from the tango rhythms of town to remote landscapes and hidden gems, this second edition of the most in-depth guide on the market provides the necessary practical and background information to take visitors beyond the tourist haunts. The guide covers all the unmissable experiences from horseback trekking through the Andes to watching penguins, seals, and whales on the Valdes Peninsula. Bradt's Argentina details many small-scale, offbeat, and sustainable projects for those interested in culturally sensitive, eco-friendly travel.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

From bustling Buenos Aires to the glaciers of Patagonia and the salt-flats of the Altiplano, Argentina is an eclectic mix of rhythms and colors. Dry desert plains meet lava fields in the south to create a range of terrains ripe for the adventurous explorer. Go ski-mountaineering among the snow-capped Andes, watch the wildlife of the Ibera wetlands, meander through the vineyards of the Cuyo region or simply tackle the tango. Now leaving behind its political and economic problems, Argentina has a superb tourist infrastructure, and this new Bradt guide is the first to show its exciting new opportunities for safe, affordable, and unrestricted travel. *Accommodation--including ranch stays in the Pampas *Activities--from trekking on horseback to an archaeological dig *Toe-tapping guide to the tango *National parks and wildlife in depth *Argentine culture and customs
