10 Best Places to Visit in Argentina

Argentina is a country that has many different things to offer. It is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world, with both European and Native American influences present throughout its history.

There are also many natural wonders like Iguazu Falls, which are among the highest waterfalls in the world; Perito Moreno Glacier; Ushuaia, which is known as being one of the southernmost towns in South America; Bariloche, where you can go skiing during winter months; Buenos Aires City which offers many beautiful architecture styles from Spanish colonial era buildings to modern skyscrapers built after WWII (and even before).

Iguazu Falls

Iguazu Falls is located on the border of Brazil and Argentina. It's a beautiful spot, with waterfalls that cascade down into the Paraná River. The falls are accessible by boat or train, though it can be tough to get there without prior reservations.

Iguazu Falls are best visited in January when it’s less crowded and you can see all of them at once. If you want to explore them further, we recommend hiring a group of local guides who will take you on tours that include exploring indigenous villages along the way!

Perito Moreno Glacier

The Perito Moreno Glacier is a large glacier located in Patagonia, located in Los Glaciares National Park, Santa Cruz Province. It is the third largest in the world, after Aletsch and Lambert glaciers. It’s also one of the few glaciers that you can walk on!

The first time I visited this area was with my family when I was eight years old. We had been there several times since then but this trip was different because we were going to see ice climbers! As soon as we arrived at our hotel nearby (the Hotel Hosteria de Perito Moreno), my brother asked me if I wanted to climb up with him and his friends who were also visiting Argentina for their summer vacation—and after thinking about it for only a second or two…I said yes!

Ushuaia

Ushuaia is the southernmost city in the world and sits on the Beagle Channel, which separates Tierra del Fuego from Isla Grande.

Its population of 45,000 people make it a popular tourist destination for Argentinians and those interested in discovering what life is like on this remote part of South America.

Ushuaia has been called “the gateway to Antarctica” because it's located right next to Antarctica's Southern Ocean coastline. This makes it one of only two cities with direct access between two continents (the other being Port-au-Prince).

Bariloche

Bariloche is located in the province of Río Negro, within the Nahuel Huapi National Park. The town is located in the Andes mountain range and is a popular tourist destination due to its warm climate and breathtaking scenery.

The town was founded by German immigrants who came from Bavaria in 1885. They settled on land owned by an Argentine family named Müller, who had been living there for generations.

The name “Bariloche” comes from the Bariloche River (or Río de Los Pinos), which flows through this area before emptying into Lake Nahuel Huapi at its southern end.

Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires is a beautiful city, and there are many activities to do in the city. The city has a vibrant nightlife scene, with plenty of bars and clubs where you can dance your heart out. You will also find museums and galleries that showcase local art, as well as historical sites such as Palermo Viejo (Old Town) or La Boca (the port district).

Buenos Aires has been called “the Paris of South America” due to its historical architecture, numerous parks, and gardens, world-class restaurants & cafes, theatres & concert halls etc..

Mendoza

Mendoza is a city in the Andes that’s known for its wine. It's also one of the best places to learn about wine and taste some delicious (and cheap) grapes.

If you like wine, this is definitely your place! Mendoza offers something for everyone: vineyards, wineries and restaurants serving delicious local cuisine. The city has been nicknamed “The Cement Kingdom” because it produces more cement than any other place on earth—but don't worry too much about this because there are plenty of other things to do besides drinking wine all day long!

El Calafate

El Calafate is a town in Patagonia, Argentina. It is the gateway to Perito Moreno Glacier and has a population of about 14,000 people. The town was founded in 1873 by German settlers from the Río Negro province who had been exiled there after their defeat during the War of Independence against Spain (1810–1821).

El Calafate sits at an elevation of 3,540 feet above sea level on top of a hill that overlooks vineyards and fields along with forests filled with wildlife such as guanacos and foxes.

You can hike down into town where you'll find lots of restaurants serving typical Argentine food like empanadas or chorizo con papas (a pasta dish made with potatoes).

Cordoba City

Cordoba is the second largest city in Argentina, and it's also the capital of Cordoba Province. Located in central Argentina, this city has a population of 1.3 million people. The city is known as “La Bella” (the beautiful) because of its climate and architecture—you can walk around for hours without getting tired!

Cordoba has many historical sites to visit including:

The Cathedral (Catedral de Nuestra Señora del Buen Pastor) which was built between 1575 and 1617 by architect Pedro de Ganteiro; it's one of Spain's most important cathedrals with some 500 years old history behind it!
Palacio de los Ingleses or English Palace where King Charles IV lived during his reign over Spain until 1808 when he died at age 61 leaving no heirs so Spain became an independent country again after being under Spanish rule since 1516 when Carlos V became king after Ferdinand II died without any children only two daughters both named Maria Ana who were born within three months of each other but went separate ways soon after their birth which resulted in them never meeting each other again until today...

Peninsula Valdes Wildlife Reserve

Peninsula Valdes is located in Patagonia, which is a region of Argentina that borders Chile. It's a nature reserve, meaning there are no roads or buildings on the peninsula; instead, you'll find only grassy plains and wildlife.

While it may seem like an unlikely place for tourists to visit—and especially so if you're not used to seeing penguins—Peninsula Valdes is actually home to many different species of animals: penguins (check out this video), sea lions (even more adorable), monkeys and more!

Puerto Iguazu

Puerto Iguazu is a town in the province of Misiones, Argentina. It is situated on the border with Brazil and Paraguay. The town has a population of over 66,000 people and it's one of Argentina's most popular tourist destinations.

The area around Puerto Iguazu has many beautiful lakes and rivers that attract tourists from around the world every year because they provide great opportunities for boat riding or rafting through rapids (or "Cataratas").

There are also lots of hiking trails nearby that lead to spectacular views from high up on mountain peaks such as Cerro Guaíba (1,734 meters above sea level) or Cerro Chaltén (2,821 meters above sea level).

Argentina is a country that offers diversity in various aspects. You can find everything from the world’s highest waterfall to the world’s southernmost town. So if you are interested in having both a culturally rich and adventure-filled trip then I would definitely recommend visiting this beautiful country.

There are so many things you can do here, especially when it comes to outdoor activities like hiking or skiing! The weather is amazing all year round as well, so there's no need for heavy jackets or gloves while exploring our natural wonders!
