A visit to the majestic Iguazu falls is one of the most breath-taking experiences in South America. Situated on the border between Brazil and Argentina, the stunning UNESCO World Heritage Site is undoubtably a must see when visiting the country. The Iguazu is made up of between 150 to 300 individual waterfalls which plunge over a precipice of more than a two and half kilometres, with an average drop of 100 meters to the river below.
Tango
Buenos Aires is arguably the most cosmopolitan city in all South America. Argentina’s historic capital has breath-taking energy, spacious grandeur, and self-confident style. In addition to grand boulevards and hefty, ostentatious architecture, this is a city of villages, or more correctly barrios (districts) – 46 of them, enriched by the seduction of the Tango, stylish and full of great pretence.
Wine
Many vineyards are scattered around the Argentinian countryside with the beautiful snow caped Andes mountains as a backdrop. One of the top things to do on a visit to the country would be to enjoy a delicious wine-tasting at a local Argentinian winery. Mendoza, Argentina, known as “the land of the sun and good wine,” is a great choice for visiting these bodegas (wineries) for some world-class Argentinian wine tasting.
