As South America’s southernmost country, Argentina features landscapes that are as dramatic as they come. With an extreme variety of natural wonders including: unique glaciers, towering mountain ranges, tropical lagoons, massive waterfalls, and expansive jungles. The name “Argentina,” itself, actually derives from the Latin “argentum,” due to its colonial history and the initial hopes of the Spanish crown to uncover riches.

The country’s capital and largest city, Buenos Aires, is commonly referred to as “the Paris of South America,” and serves as Argentina’s cultural, economic and political center. Nearly a third of the country’s population are residents of the city, and there is a strong European influence on its architecture.
