ARGENTINA TOURIST DESTINATION

You may learn about the different tourist destinations that we find relevant through the different regions and provinces of Argentina:

northwesT
The Northwestern part of the country is, mostly, a mountaineous region with spectacular landscapes.
It stands, to the west, as an elevated plateau (of approximately 3800 m.a.s.l.), crossed by high mountain ranges. In its central part there are gorges (such as the Humauaca Gorge) of a huge slope. To the East, we find sierras that barely exceed the 2000 metres, as a transition to the chaqueña plain. The tourist Train to the Clouds (one of the highest trains in the world), gives you the possibility of enjoying these landscapes in an unparalleled way. In these mountains you will find the contrast of the snow in the highest peaks, and the red, violet and green colours of the living rock. There are zones of forests with an important variety of fauna carefully preserved in the national parks. In this whole region you can find picturesque villages lost in unparalleled natural scenaries. The Río Hondo thermal baths are internationally known due to its healing powers.

NORTHEAST
It comprises two subregions: The chaqueña and the mesopotámica. The subregion of Chaco is a flat uniform wooded plain, with a mostly subtropical climate. The mesopotamia is surrounded by two big plentiful rivers: the Paraná and the Uruguay. It has, in the province of Misiones, rocky formations that break up the course of the rivers giving birth to falls, rapids and cascades. A spectacular example of this are the world famous Iguazu Falls, declared World Natural Patrimony of the Humanity by the UNESCO. Moving southwards we find the littoral of the provinces of Entre Ríos and Corrientes, with several beaches, islands and suitable places for the practice of swimming and water sports. In both subregions we find rich varied fauna, especially in the protected subtropical forest places in Misiones, and the most temperate woods and parks of Corrientes and Entre Ríos. We can also enjoy the thermal fountains existing in many cities.

CUYO
Zone of contrasts. It is an arid mountaineous region (seat of the highest peak of América, the Aconcagua), crossed by plentiful rivers whose waters come down from the Andes Mountain Range.
The man, through irrigation canals, took profit of this resource and turn this region into a prosperous and quite suitable place for the development of grapevines and the subsequent elaboration of high quality wines, currently known all around the world. Tourists can visit the numerous wineries of this region. In order to surmount the mountain ranges, the rivers make its courses flow deeper and give birth to imposing gorges such as the "Atuel Canyon" owner of a singular colour and beauty.
The adventure tourism offers multiple alternatives such as rafting, Andinism (mounts Aconcagua and Tupungato), trekking and many others. Winter sports are present in several ski centres, among which Las Leñas valley stands out. Thermal Fountains complete the tourist offer of this region.

CENTRAL SIERRAS 
This is a region of sierras with hills of medium height. It comprises valleys, plains and plateaux called pampas (of around 1000 m.a.s.l.) crossed by several rivers and streams suitable for the practice of swimming. It has a great tourist porential reflected in a large quantity of cities and tourist villages that take profit from the possibilities of this zone. This place is very appropriate for adventure tourism and the practice of water sports for the region has several artificial water courses (originated by dams). It has a low humidity, and very healthy microlimate with proved therapeutic values. In its geography you can find the second most important population settlement of the country (after Buenos Aires), the modern and pushing city of Córdoba.

PAMPA PLAINS
This whole region is mostly plain, only interrupted by the sierras of Tandil (500 m.a.s.l.) and those of Ventana (1200 m.a.s.l.). This region is quite appropriate for the agricultural and cattle breeding activities, for it comprises huge areas used for the sowing of seeds and the breeding of cattle.
Its tourist potential is mainly reflected in the great metropolis of Buenos Aires, industrial and commercial pole of Argentina, which displays an intense cultural activity concentrated in its cinemas, pubs, theatres, musical shows, shoppings, and all kinds of attractions for the tourist. Besides, it posseses a rich historic past reflected in its buildings of French, Italian and Classical architectural style; as well as in its numberless museums. Appart from Buenos Aires there are several tourist cities, built mainly on the borders of the Atlantic Ocean. Right from the populated Mar del Plata to the exclusive Pinamar and Cariló beach resorts, we find the most varied offer of tourist beaches in this region. The offer is rounded out with the cities of Tandil and Sierra de la Ventana, which offer serrain landscapes and adventure tourism.

ANDEAN PATAGONIA 
This a predominantly mountaineous region, alternated with natural lakes, glaciers and woods. It posseses one of the most spectacular landscapes in Argentina. Several national parks, most of which can be visited, protect its fauna and its landscape richness. Among them we can mention the Lanín, Nahuel Huapi, Los Arrayanes, Los Alerces, Puelo Lake, Francisco P. Moreno, The Glaciers and Tierra del Fuego. Many tourist destinations are visited by travellers from all over the world, who among other attractions, can appreciate enraptured one of the most beautiful glaciers in the world: Perito Moreno Glacier. This is an excellent place for the adventure tourism, for it includes numberless possibilities for the practice of trekking, rafting, Alpinism, mountain byke, horseback riding, etc.; added to possibility of practising water sports in its numberless water courses. Modern boats take you across the lacustrine sorroundings in varied excursions. In its southernmost part, Tierra del Fuego, you can sail along the southermost continental canals and reach the Antártida. It has several winter centres ideal for the practice of skiing, among which Chapelco and Cerro Catedral stands out; and thermal centres such as Copahue.

ATLANTIC PATAGONIA
The Extra-andean Patagonia is the eastern zone bounded by the Atlantic Ocean. it is also called the Patagonic plateau, for it posseses a very special landscape consisting of high plains, valleys, ravines and sierras. To the South, It has a cold arid climate just interrupted by some agricultural oasis developed by men. Its tourist attractions are mainly located on the north of this region and consists of the richness of its sea fauna (sea woolves and elephants, penguins and the southern Franca whale, among others); and its northern beaches, which display cliffs of about 30 metres, suitable for the practice of swimming due to the nice temperature of its waters. Scuba diving is another important attraction of the zone..
