Things to do in Argentina

Patagonian condor, Argentina
Quintessentially Latin, Argentina is home of the tango, and one of the most thrilling ways to experience this is at the Esquina Carlos Gardel Tango show in Buenos Aires. Spend the evening sampling local food and wines and watching this passionate dance.

Other things to do in Argentina that we recommend include visiting the Península Valdés to spot southern right whales, seals, penguins and birdlife. Or, don crampons and trek across the creaking ice of the Perito Moreno Glacier.

When this happens the melting ice at the base is unable to support the weight and the whole bridge collapses in a spectacular explosion.
