Argentina South American beauty! Argentina is often called the “land of extremes”. Situated in South America, east of the Andes and bordered by Chile to the west, the Atlantic Ocean to the east and Uruguay, Bolivia, Paraguay and Brazil to the north. Argentina is a cultural and geographical melting pot. Argentina never fails to amaze…It is a country to explore, admire and to play some fabulous courses.
Buenos Aires is the capital. It is a smart city bursting with energy. And while the gaucho is still celebrated, Argentina is a more cosmopolitan country than its neighbours. From the country that brought the world the tango, the people have an admirable lust for life – whether it’s for food, dancing, partying or football! Outside of Buenos Aires, nature takes the lead and there’s a jaw-dropping view around every corner.
Romantics ■ Watch a tango show or, better still, learn how to tango dance at the lively milongas ■ Take a horse trek on the mountain ranges or farmlands Foodies ■ Dine at a parilla and enjoy the best meat in the world barbecue-style ■ Enjoy some of the New World’s best wines in the Mendoza region
Argentina is a once-in-a-lifetime trip of two weeks or more and we recommend taking in the capital and a couple of short hops to sample the best of the best. We offer comfortable to luxurious hotels oozing South American atmosphere. You can have as many or as few visits and tours as you want and we make sure there are plenty of opportunities to play your favourite sport.
