From the arid Altiplano of the Andes and the humid jungles of the north, passing down through the celebrated wine country and the lush open pampas of the Gauchos, this vast country will take you to the absolute end of the world amidst the romantic windswept settings of Patagonia.
With Natural Wonders such as the Iguazu Falls and dramatic glaciers like Perito Moreno, opportunities for close encounters with penguins and whales, fantasic skiing and trekking, Argentina is an incredible country to explore.
One of the best places for adventure travel here is Ushuaia; the southernmost city in the world. Resting at the far tip of Latin America, on the island of Tierra del Fuego, overlooking the shores of the Beagle Channel, Ushuaia claims to be the southernmost city of the world. It is not just Antarctic tourism that brings people to Ushuaia, however. Famed for its world class fishing, fantastic hiking possibilities, shorter boat journeys and skiing, this remains a pioneers’ town at what is literally el Fin del Mundo- the End of the World.
Or perhaps head to the almighty Iguazu Falls which never fail to impress. Sitting on the borders of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay, the magnificent Iguazu Falls are one of the largest and arguably the most impressive waterfalls in the world. Besides having one of the world’s most beautiful waterfalls, Iguazu National Park is also home to an array of diverse species and activities ranging from hiking to rappelling.
However, there is also the popular trekking region of El Calafate which offers superb Argentina adventure travel experiences.Located at the heart of Argentina’s popular trekking region, El Calafate provides easy access into the nearby snow-capped mountains, and further afield to the stunning Perito Moreno glacier El Chalten. Served by a modern airport and hosting modern tourist facilities, El Calafate is most tourists’ first stop and base for exploring Argentina’s spectacular Patagonian Andes. El Calafate is perfectly situated within reach of the highlights of Los Glaciares National Park, which include the stunning Perito Moreno glacier among dozens of others. This area can be hiked independently and you can enjoy fishing here as well.
From wildlife watching of exotic species to learning the tango in beautiful Buenos Aires and from hiking and trekking in stunning national parks to fishing in verdant waters and rappelling amidst breathtaking surroundings, Argentina adventure travel experiences are in abundance and offer something for every traveller.

I have been looking looking around for this kind of information. Will you post some more in future? I’ll be grateful if you will.
Awesome video, it was a toss up between Argentina and Mozambique for my holiday this year, and I think this has definitely tipped things toward South America’s favour
Great post. This has really been an informative post. Argentina seems to be an awesome place to visit. One would not miss hiking, trekking and seeing waterfalls there. Thanks to you, I finally got to know what Ushuaia actually is- the end of the world, as it is widely known…
