Argentina occupies the southern end of South America and contains some of the most impressive natural wonders of the continent. It shares the magnificent Iguazu Falls with Brazil, and the spectacularly scenic region of lakes, rolling hills and fjords known as Patagonia with neighboring Chile.

The home of the graceful and passionate dance known as tango and a well-respected wine industry, Argentina is often cited as the South American country that is distinctly European in flavor. Its glamorous and sophisticated capital, Buenos Aires is routinely compared to Paris, as its sidewalk cafes, cobblestone streets and grand, old world architecture are reminiscent of the City of Light.
