/24-7PressRelease/ -- When traveling to Argentina travelers tend to be overwhelmed by the choices and options that await them. Local Argentine operator SayHueque.com recommends 4 must sees when in Argetina: Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls, Mendoza and El Calafate.
Buenos Aires
Known as the Paris of South America, Buenos Aires proudly embraces this
title, as well as shows off plenty of its own culture! Traditional European
flavors abound.cobbled streets are lined with rustic outdoor cafes, local
antique and artisanal markets offer plenty of bargain shopping, and the
mouthwatering aroma of prized Argentine beef sizzling on an open parilla
(barbeque) wafts through the air. Of course, modern Buenos Aires also is
home to some excellent local designers and you will certainly find the
perfectly soft leather jacket, long leather boots.not to mention the
handbags! Don't forget to take in a dinner-tango show or to check out the
colorful San Telmo and Recoleta neighborhoods.
Iguazu Falls
A world heritage site and one of the new 7 Wonders of Nature, Iguazu Falls
is one of the most breathtaking sights to behold. With over 250 waterfalls
surrounded by the tropical jungle of Argentina and Brazil, travelers can't
get much closer to nature in all her glory.
One of the most popular destinations on the continent, travelers will marvel
as colorful parrots fly overhead and chatter away in the nearby trees of
this jungle oasis. The Argentine side of Iguazu Falls is where they will
get up close and personal with the falls, that is, they will actually feel
the refreshing mist from the towering 80 meter Gargant del Diable waterfall
cool them off as their tan improves from the strong South American sunshine.
While the Brazilian side of the Falls is perfect to appreciate the panoramic
vistas and sweeping landscapes.
Mendoza
Mendoza is located at the base of the Andes in eastern Argentina and just a
stone's thow from the nearby Chilean border. Besides the towering Aconcagua
Mountain, the western hemisphere's tallest at 6962 meters (22841 feet) and a
plethora of adventurous activities that are available nearby (including
horseback riding, mountain biking, hiking, rock climbing, etc), Mendoza is
home to over 100 wineries and vineyards, as well as a few lovely spas.
El Calafate - Perito Moreno Glacier
El Calfate is a small city known as the gateway to Patagonia and hosts many
traditional restaraunts that serve up regional delicacies such as Patagonia
roasted lamb, empanadas and artesanal microbrewed beer. It is also the
ideal base for visiting the massive Perito Moreno Glacier.
Perito Moreno Glacier is the most visited glacier in Patagonia and offers
some of the most breathtaking views that one could imagine. Located on the
shores of Argentina's largest lake, Lake Argentino, and just two hours from
El Calafate, day trips are easy to make and there are some great activities
available that range from walking along the viewpoint trail, taking a boat
cruise up close to the massive ice wall, or even trekking on the glacier
itself!
