Destination/Hotel search
The country everyone intends to visit, but are only now getting around to. Tango, football and beef remain as ubiquitous as ever, but there's plenty more to Latin America's second largest country. Diversity is one of Argentina's greatest asset, stretching from the frozen tablelands of Santa Cruz, to the vineyards of Mendoza and the desert landscapes of the north-west. Tourism continues all year round, but to see things at their best, try to arrive between October and April. Whether bent on a tango love affair in Buenos Aires, the feted Paris of the South, a spectacular riding holiday in Bariloche, or a visit to the stunning Iguazu Falls, Argentina presents a multitude of landscapes and climates, and an even greater number of ways to enjoy them.

Buenos Aires: Tango Town | John Borthwick | Argentina, Buenos Aires and the Pampas, Buenos Aires
A tango town of once-fabulous wealth and now of nostalgic mansions gone to delicious decrepitude. City of jackbooted generals and the Mothers of the Disappeared, of Maradona and even, briefly, of Madonna...
Tango in Buenos Aires | Sue Carpenter | Argentina, Buenos Aires and the Pampas, Buenos Aires
The key thing that differentiates Buenos Aires from Paris (the two often seem indistinguishable) is tango
Tangopolis | Chris Moss | Argentina, Buenos Aires and the Pampas, Buenos Aires
El tango was the soundtrack, sex organ and soul of the big, bad-tempered port city I’d chosen for home.

Children too young to have heroes ran around the museum in team colours, dad’s football dream their inheritance
Buenos Aires | Mark Jolly | Argentina, Buenos Aires and the Pampas, Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires doesn’t go for the jugular. Its charm is more of slow dance, a game of seduction, to be found in the early-morning markets, mid-afternoon cafés, and the after-hours milongas
Argentina | Barbara Erasmus | Argentina, Buenos Aires and the Pampas, Buenos Aires
The portenos - the residents of Buenos Aires – are the world’s most psycho-analysed people. There are three times as many shrinks per capita as there are in New York
City Chic, Buenos Aires | Belinda Jackson | Argentina, Buenos Aires and the Pampas, Buenos Aires
Slicker than baby oil on a lover’s skin, Argentina’s capital is the grooviest place on the planet
A Good Grilling | David Atkinson | Argentina, Buenos Aires and the Pampas, Buenos Aires
Like any meat-eating male with a bag of briquettes and a penchant for scorching cocktail sausages to within an inch of their lives, I’m keen to my flex barbecue muscles come the first hint of summer.
Gap Year Guerrilla | Chris Moss | Argentina, Argentine Lakes, San Carlos de Bariloche
I hitched through Patagonia on a truck carrying Mendozan wine and used bikes, taxis, horses, and, yes, even a motorbike in the Argentine Lake District
