Tailor-made Argentina: Introduction

Vibrant, diverse and intoxicating, Argentina succeeds in being quintessentially Latin, surprisingly cosmopolitan and completely individual. Contained within its boundaries are a heady array of landscapes and sights, from windswept Patagonia to the tumbling waters of Iguazú Falls; through the snow-capped volcanoes and emerald waters of the Lake District to lush wineries, cactusspiked gorges and penguin-filled shores.

But Argentina is far more than its natural beauty, it is a place of its people: the gauchos working with speed and skill as they herd their cattle in the Pampas; a couple entwined in a heartfelt tango and the Welsh-speaking communities of northern Patagonia. It is the home of world-famous icons including Che, the heartthrob revolutionary, Evita the political diva, and Maradona the controversial footballing hero.

Fiercely proud, patriotic and partisan, the people of Argentina are also warm, open and welcoming, a key part of the appeal of their vast, beautiful and unique country.
