Argentina

Dance the night away in cosmopolitan Buenos Aires, raise a glass of malbec in Mendoza, and take in awe-inspiring glaciers in Patagonia. Argentina’s diverse landscapes attract outdoor enthusiasts who come to hike the multicolored mountains of Quebrada de Humahuaca, walk in the enormous salt desert Salinas Grandes, and get drenched on a boat ride at Iguazu Falls.
