ARGENTINA conjures up many images - the tango dance, Patagonia, beef, soccer, Tierra del Fuego - all of which are just a part of this amazing country. Argentina has within its borders some of the Andes' highest peaks; it is home to amazing wetlands; massive ice fields; cool lichen-clad forests; glacial lakes; bone-dry deserts; Andean salt flats; and rich wildlife including penguins, flamingos, caimans, capybaras and more. But its natural marvels are just part of the picture - its cultural climate is passionate and creative. Argentines are, after all, some of the most friendly and engaging folks on the planet.
