Argentina
The elegance of
Buenos Aires, the most European of South American cities, combined
with the amazing scenery of the country-side, make this a great
destination. The mountains and glaziers in the south and west,the
planes of the Pampas,Iguazu in the north, are a must see. Unlike
other Latin American countries, this is a very safe destination-and
it all comes at a low cost. Due to it's economic woes, the value of
the peso make it a very affordable place to visit. Let's
tango.

Tip : Terra del
Fuego, at the southern tip of Argentina is a new and must see
destination. Stay in the self proclaimed most southern
city on the planet- Ushuaia- at Los Nires or at The Albatross
hotel. Cruise the Beagle Channel and see the spectacular Martial
Glacier silhouetted by the Andes provides a beautiful backdrop to
the city. But this is most famous for being the launch port across
the dreaded Drake Passage and Cape Horn to the Antarctic Peninsula.
Nearby world class trout fishing in Tolhuin. For apartment rental
