Travel local, live responsibly — no filters, no intermediaries
Argentina is an immense country, where in just a few weeks you can cross radically different climates and landscapes. In this section we guide you through the main destinations proposed by Perú InsideOut, starting with Buenos Aires, the cosmopolitan capital of tango, and Córdoba, a university city with a rich Jesuit heritage.
To the north, Salta and Jujuy offer vividly coloured Andean landscapes, such as the Quebrada de Humahuaca and the Cerro de los Siete Colores, while to the west Mendoza is the undisputed capital of Argentine wine, with its vineyards at the foot of the Andes. On the border with Brazil, the spectacular Iguazú Falls are among South America's most imposing natural wonders.
In Patagonia, Bariloche enchants with its lakes and alpine scenery, while the legendary Ruta 40 crosses the country from north to south along the Andes mountain range. Further south, El Calafate and El Chaltén open the door to the Perito Moreno Glacier and the peaks of Fitz Roy, all the way to Tierra del Fuego and Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world, at the end of the Earth.
The “Paris of South America”
A cosmopolitan capital and home of tango, Buenos Aires enchants with its historic cafés, the neighbourhoods of Palermo and San Telmo, the colourful Caminito in La Boca and the Recoleta Cemetery, where Eva Perón rests. A city that comes alive as much by night as by day, blending culture, gastronomy and a passion for football.
The colourful Andean north
Salta “la Linda” preserves one of Argentina's best-kept colonial architectural heritages, while the neighbouring province of Jujuy holds the Quebrada de Humahuaca, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the famous Cerro de los Siete Colores in Purmamarca, among the country's most photographed images.
Glaciers and legendary Patagonian peaks
El Calafate is the gateway to the Perito Moreno Glacier, one of the few glaciers in the world still in equilibrium. Not far away, El Chaltén is the national trekking capital, at the foot of the iconic spires of Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre.
One of South America's natural wonders
On the border between Argentina and Brazil, the Iguazú Falls form a system of over 270 individual falls set within subtropical rainforest, dominated by the spectacular Garganta del Diablo. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, they are among the most imposing waterfalls on Earth.
Argentina's wine capital
At the foot of the Andes mountain range and in the shadow of Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Americas, Mendoza is the heart of Argentine Malbec production. Its historic bodegas offer tastings among rows of vines and breathtaking Andean views.
Lakes and alpine atmosphere in Patagonia
San Carlos de Bariloche sits on the shores of Lake Nahuel Huapi, surrounded by mountains reminiscent of the Swiss Alps. Famous for its artisan chocolate and the Circuito Chico, it's also one of South America's most renowned ski destinations thanks to Cerro Catedral.
Argentina's most legendary road trip
Ruta Nacional 40 runs for over 5,000 km along the entire Andes mountain range, from north to south, crossing deserts, Patagonian steppes, vineyards and remote villages. It's the ideal itinerary for anyone who wants to discover the most authentic Argentina on the road.
At the end of the world
Ushuaia, the southernmost city on the planet, is the gateway to Tierra del Fuego National Park and the Beagle Channel, as well as the starting point for expeditions to Antarctica. An extreme landscape of mountains, sub-Antarctic forests and icy sea.
Jesuit history and university life
Argentina's second-largest city, Córdoba holds the Manzana Jesuítica, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and boasts one of the oldest universities in South America. Not far away, the Sierras de Córdoba offer hillside scenery perfect for hiking and relaxation.
