It is a country full of natural beauties with a great variety of climates and landscapes: the famous Iguazú Falls, one of the most impressive waterfalls in the planet; the faraway and mythic Patagonia, with its vast deserts crossed by powerful winds during most of the year; the massive Andean mountain chain that combines a patchwork of lavishly beautiful pine forests and lakes in the South West with the Northwestern desert landscape of valleys and colored hills of the Puna; Cuyo, one of the most important areas of wine production in the world; Puerto Madryn, the sanctuary of whales in the far South; Tierra del Fuego and its mysteries; the Pampa plains, the heart of agricultural production of the country; and the dynamic and attractive city of Buenos Aires.
Argentina is the third most important economy in Latin America, being the oil, agricultural, manufacture, and mining industries the core of its economic production.
Widely known for the sensuality of its national dance, the Tango, other features such as the excellence of its beef, wonderful wines, and the passion for football (soccer) define an important part of the cultural identity of the Argentines.
Argentina excels at many sports, especially football, rugby, polo and hockey, as proven by the many international titles obtained in all of them.
The country is a land of mystery, the kind that gives birth to folk stories and creative literature, of foggy autumns and sunny summers, of vast plains, deserts, and seas, in short a unique place for adventures of all sorts where the visitor can experience the breath of history, local traditions, and surprisingly rich architecture in the urban as well as in the rural environment .
