Top 5 Most Beautiful and Best Places To Visit in Argentina

Beautiful Argentina is one of the most diverse countries in South America. It inhabits the rugged mountain ranges of the north, the fertile wine regions of the center, and the glaciers of the south.

Add these fascinating sights, cool cities, amazing food, and incredibly friendly locals, and you will see why you should plan a trip. Here are 5 best places to visit in Argentina to help you plan your trip.

Mendoza

This is also the capital of Argentina. Worldwide Malbec is world-famous for its production.

There are three different wine regions around the city: Lujan, Maipu de Yuko, and Kyo, all of which are well worth a visit. Be sure to check out the Bodega Carmelo Patty in Lujan, where Carmelo himself shows you around the Bodega in his garage and gives you a taste of his wines. Wine aside, Mendoza has a lot of other activities to offer visitors.

Going by horseback to watch the sunset across the Andes is the perfect place to become a gaucho for an evening out. If you want to see another side of Mendoza, try a paragliding ride 2000 meters above the ground.

Iguazu Falls

Iguazu Falls is the largest waterfall in the world, marking the border between Brazil and Argentina. Although you can visit the waterfall from both countries, it is a must-do if you have the time, the Argentine side not only gives you a view of the waterfall but also allows you to walk between the falls.

There are well-constructed sidewalks and multiple paths to different angles, some of which take you to the edge of the precipice. Be sure to walk to the Garganta del Diablo (Devil's Throat). You have to be ready to get wet, but there is no better way to appreciate the full power of Mother Nature, and then you will feel the water thundering around you.

El Bolson

El Bolson is known as the hippie city of Argentina. Its craft market is located in the main square. The main reason to visit here is to climb the surrounding hills. 

There are plenty of opportunities for multi-day trips, but if you want an exciting day hike, head to El Cajon Azul, where you'll find snow-capped peaks, clear blue waters, and of course, spectacular canyons.

El Calafate

One of the main reasons to visit El Calafate is the Perito Moreno Glacier. Take one of the many buses from the city and see the glacier in all its glory.

The park is full of sidewalks so you can see the glacier from different angles. Standing in front of an iceberg 70 meters high, it is really difficult to understand its size. Although the Perito Moreno Glacier is actually one of the few growing glaciers, stand up and wait a while, then you will see large pieces of ice break and fall into the water below.

El Chalten

If you are going to climb a mountain, El Chalten is the right place for you. The impressive Mount Fitzroy takes you through this small town and you can reach the National Park within a 10-minute walk from the center.

Laguna de Los Tres is looking for a variety of trails, including the most popular climb, which takes you to the foot of Mount Fitzroy. Best of all, entry to the national park and all trails are free, saving you a lot of money to spend on the many restaurants, cafes, and breweries lined up on Main Street.
