Things to Do in Argentina
Before you book flights to Argentina, why not check out the top things to do once you get there? Here are our top 3 recommended attractions the country has to offer:
Iguazu Falls
Iguazu Falls sits on the border between Argentina and Brazil. It's one of the world's most breathtaking natural wonders. From Argentina's side, you can visit the waterfall up close and witness its cascading waters, surrounded by lush rainforests.
The most impressive part about Iguazu Falls is the "Devil's Throat" - this is a U-shaped cascade that plunges 80 metres into the abyss. There is a walkway that can lead you directly over it, providing the perfect photo opportunity.
To reach Iguazu Falls, we recommend flying from Buenos Aires to Cataratas del Iguazu International Airport, close to Puerto Iguazu. For easy access, consider staying in Puerto Iguazu where you can catch a shuttle bus that takes you right to the park entrance in just 20 minutes!
Perito Moreno Glacier
The Perito Moreno Glacier is an ice formation in Los Glaciares National Park in Argentina. The glacier is around 30km long and 5km wide. One major highlight of going to see the glacier is witnessing huge ice chunks breaking off and crashing into Lake Argentino, a phenomenon known as 'calving'.
You can get around the glacier through its network of boardwalks and viewing platforms. Boat tours are also popular - your tour guide can get you up close to the glacier's walls for unique photo opportunities!
If you're planning to see the Perito Moreno Glacier, stay in the town of El Calafate. The glacier will be reachable from El Calafate by car or taxi (around a 1.5-hour drive), but public buses also operate between the town and the national park.
Tango in Buenos Aires
Tango is a huge deal in Argentina. It first originated in the late 19th century in the working-class neighbourhoods of Buenos Aires, slowly evolving into a symbol of Argentine identity.
While in Buenos Aires, you should try to visit professional tango shows at venues like El Querandi and Esquina Carlos Gardel - here, you can witness the elegance and drama of this unique dance style.
If you'd like to have a go at the tango, visit the city's milongas (traditional dance halls) where locals and visitors can gather to dance tango. Buenos Aires also hosts the Buenos Aires Tango Festival and World Cup every August, attracting competitive tango dancers from all over the globe.
