Reasons To
Visit Argentina

  • Estancias

    Argentina’s history of agriculture and in particular of rearing livestock has resulted in hundreds of estancias, or ranches, across the country that open their doors year round to visitors looking for a taste of the authentic cowboy life.

  • Iguazú Falls

    Straddling the Argentina and Brazil border it is the Argentine side that provides the opportunity for the detailed and close up views of some of the 276 waterfalls that make up Iguazú. The numerous vantage points and forested trails make for a wonderful experience of nature at her best.

Purmamarca

Argentina

A tiny village with an incredible setting right at the foot of the famous Hill of Seven Colours, Purmamarca is a charmingly sleepy little place with a daily handicrafts fair in the square, which has a smattering of cafes and shops around it.

The whitewashed adobe church, Iglesia de Santa Rosa, is beautiful, and entirely typical of the area, with a 500 year old tree outside it, and with its one excellent hotel, Purmamarca is the ideal place to stay while exploring the Humahuaca gorge.
