Argentina soccer and argentina soccer players are great (Yes, I'm argentinian...of course), but let me tell you that if you love sports you must buy tickets and see a game. Most famous teams are Boca and River.
This district is located between the city (Buenos Aires) and the river, old docks and warehouses have been completely refurbished and converted into modern office buildings and luxurious restaurants.Here you will find rows of elegant restaurants or you can simply walk and see the restored shipping docks. If you love shipping You can visit Fragata Sarmiento ( historical ship) for only USS 2.
If you are there during the summer (Argentina Summer - Jan, Feb), take a weekend and go to Uruguay Punta del Este, rent a Motorbike and ride along the coast. A beautiful place to go and explore if you have the time. You will not regret it.
On the borders of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, you'll find some spectacular waterfalls known as Iguazú Falls which are best seen March-June (there are fewer people then, and the humidity can get oppressive November-February). The falls can be visited from the Brazilian or Argentine side: Either is impressive. While the falls are seen more easily from Brazil, the paths, jungle and sunset views are better in Argentina.Iguazu should not be missed: Made up of 275 cascades spanning a distance of 2 mi/3 km and rising up to 300 ft/90 m high, it's one of the most impressive sights in the world. Rainbows, roaring waters, red earth and jungle scenery make it worthy of a long stop—enough time for real contemplation. Visitors on the Argentine side should see the falls from both access points: the lower trail, which twists through the rain forest to a boat that takes you on a five-minute ride to...
And talking about Bariloche.... this Andean village looks like it belongs in Switzerland, and like Swiss ski resorts, Bariloche can be quite crowded in high season (though it's a bit run down in comparison with its European counterparts). It's easy to see why so many people go, it's in an unbelievably beautiful area. Located on the shores of Lake Nahuel Huapi, in the midst of Nahuel Huapi National Park, Bariloche is surrounded by dense forests, alpine lakes and 12,000-ft/3,660-m mountains.Bariloche itself is filled with Swiss chalet-type hotels and has a number of sights worth seeing, including a small museum with displays about the area's founder, Francisco Moreno. But my favorite activities (and everyone else's) can be found on the main street and the slopes—shopping and skiing. Sample some of the many varieties of jellies and jams made from native fruits found nowhere else in the...
The Talampaya provincial reservation is geographically located in the south center of the province of La Rioja in the Gral. Lavalle department, situated in the North West of Argentina, with a surface of 215.000 hectares. It was created in the year 1975 by a provincial law.Talampaya is one of the greatest natural scenarios of Argentina. This park was created to preserve important archaeological and paleontologic deposits; it is an imposing landscape of great beauty, next to the flora and the fauna characteristic of the forest. A natural wonder that is an attraction for thousands of national and foreign tourists. To arrive at the park 207 kilometers should be traveled from the capital of the province of La Rioja , Argentina . To the natural values of the area it should be added its cultural importance. Numerous manifestations of prehistoric cultures that inhabited the area about 1000 years...
Founded in 1591, La Rioja has beautiful colonial architecture (much of it rebuilt after an 1894 earthquake) and an awe-inspiring mountain in the background (La Mexicana, which rises 20,250 ft/6,250 m). Notable examples of early Spanish buildings are the convents of Santo Domingo and San Francisco. The other side of La Rioja's heritage can be seen at the Museo Inca Huasi, which houses more than 12,000 Indian artifacts, ceramics and weavings. La Rioja is noted for its style of pottery—see or buy good examples at the Mercado Artesanal. Day trips can be taken to Santa Teresita Hot Springs and to Talampaya, a provincial park with a deep canyon and many rock formations. 610 mi/980 km northwest of Buenos Aires.
La Plata, the capital of Buenos Aires Province, has one of the largest cathedrals in South America. While in town, visit the Museum of Natural Science, which many consider to be the best in Argentina (exhibits include mummies and human skulls). La Plata is easily reached by train or bus from downtown Buenos Aires. 35 mi/55 km southeast of Buenos Aires. This is a picture of Mar del Plata at night.
You have to visit the zone where Mar del Plata is situated was known under different names: Costa Galana, Lobería Chica, Región del Vulcán, Punta Lobos, etc. The Pampas, indian tribe, were the lords of the region before the white man's arrival and they are considered to be the first dwellers. In 1746 next to Laguna de las Cabrillas (now Laguna de los Padres), Jesuit Missionaries founded the mission named Reducción del Pilar to convert indians to Christianity. Indian population reached the considerable number of 1200 when the zone was recognized as town but the mission had to be abandoned in 1751 due to the hostile native dwellers.In 1856 José Coelho de Meyrelles, member of a portuguese consortium, settled in this zone to set up a salting plant considered to be the first urban development of the region. In 1860 José Coelho de Meyrelles sold his possessions to Patricio Peralta Ramos. On 10...
Beginning in central Argentina and stretching from the Rio Colorado to the Straits of Magellan, the vast, desolate region of La Patagonia is a haven for naturalists. Almost 30% of the nation's territory, it's filled with unique animals (including guanacos, penguins and elephant seals) and flora, windswept and barren land, lakes and unspoiled nature. It's also a popular destination for those who like to fish, especially November-May, when trout, salmon and native species such as trahira can be hooked in the rivers and streams flowing through the Andean foothills.There are three major sections: Rio Negro and Neuquen Provinces (access via Bariloche); Chubut Province (includes Puerto Madryn, Gaiman, Los Alerces National Park and Comodoro Rivadavia); and Santa Cruz Province (Rio Gallegos and Glaciers National Park). Because the area lacks accommodations and travel facilities, we suggest...
