ARGENTINA
Adventure travel in Argentina is almost endless between the Andes mountains, glacial lakes, and Pampas grasslands. More than just Tango and beef, Argentina is the second largest country in South America after Brazil and boasts an extremely vibrant culture. Combining indigenous cultures with Spanish conquistadors, with gaucho cowboys, with modern western influences, Argentina is a bold blend, just like many of its world famous wines.

Mount Fitz Roy
The most dramatic and picturesque mountain of the Patagonia range and the basis for the clothing company logo, Fitz Roy is a mountain unlike any other in the world. A draw for mountain climbers and curious photographers alike, it lies almost directly on the Argentina-Chile border. Don’t pass up an opportunity to get your own photo of this natural wonder.
Iguazu Falls
In the competition for the world’s most stunning waterfalls, along with Niagara and Victoria falls, Iguazu Falls are a collection of 275 waterfalls on the Argentine-Brazilian border. It is both taller than Niagara falls as well as wider than Victoria falls, and is a dramatic part of the Parana river.
Salta
Located in the northwest of Argentina, Salta is a relatively unexplored region that doesn’t draw the same crowds as some of Argentina’s more famous locations. Still rising in popularity, Salta is a hot-spot for adventure activities from hiking to biking to four-wheeling, and has a growing culinary and viticulture scene.
