A massive country in South America, the list of things to do in Argentina could really be endless. There are so many Argentina attractions to consider for everyone’s interests. Due to the economic problems in Europe many Europeans are migrating to the charming capital, Buenos Aires. A common nickname for the capital is the Paris of the South. Here are the top 5 Argentina tourist attractions:
Bueno Aires
Commonly known as the Paris of the South, it is internationally known for its impressive boulevards, outdoor cafes, and historical facades. Being such a diverse city this is usually the first place everyone explores for all the things to do in Argentina. The cobblestone streets, boutiques, and shops give this city its exquisite old world European charm.
It is also famous for its art and history museums as well which have become very popular things to do in Argentina. The party doesn’t begin until 2am and doesn’t end until sunrise. Buenos Aires is the perfect combination for any traveler (especially for people like me: night owls). Don’t forget to indulge in the café con leche, steak, and other meats that are readily available throughout the city.

Iguazu Falls
Iguazu Falls
Taller than Niagara falls and twice as wide these cataracts are one of the most impressive sites that you will ever see in your travels around the world. 275 waterfalls cascade through the Argentine and Brazil parks and once you see the Devil’s throat you won’t regret the trip (see video here). Though one might be tempted to take a field trip and barrel over the edge, like stateside, it’s against the law. Devil’s Throat is equally as breathtaking when standing right on top of the falls. Don’t forget to take the boat ride on the river and into the falls as well as the truck ride through the forest. Here is a comparison of Niagara Falls with Iguazu Falls.
Vineyards in Mendoza
Mendoza
This picturesque city in the foothills of the Andes is right in the middle of Argentina’s famous wine country. Commonly known as Argentina’s Napa and Sonoma valleys, here one can enjoy flavorful wines, fruits, and local delicacies. Be sure to set aside time for viewing the varied countryside.
Penguins at Peninsula Valdez in Puerto Madryn, Argentina
Patagonia
There are few places on the Earth that are as isolated and beautiful as Patagonia. It is one of the best kept secrets of Argentina and the world. Hosting the famous “southern most city in the world”, Ushuaia is the gateway to Antarctica (also a place where you can find cheap last minute cruises to Antarctica). One can spend countless hours hiking, driving, and site seeing without running into other annoying tourists (I think you know you what I’m talking about). One can also enjoy the numerous lakes and meadowlands that identify this area as one of the unique ecosystems of the world. Because of the isolation its best to plan for a picnic, be advised however, uninvited guests (penguins) may arrive and plunder your sandwiches.

Andes Mountains
Andes Mountains
The majestic mountains tower over the landscape forming the backbone of Argentina. Glaciers defy the laws of gravity and skiing is widely available throughout many of the small rural villages found in this region.
