Top 7 Things to Do in Argentina

#1 While in Argentina visit the Iguazu Falls

Literally translating into ‘great waters,’ the Iguazu Falls, located at the Iguazu National Park, is another great visit. The spectacular fall is 1.5 times the height of the Niagara falls and is one of the most breathtakingly beautiful and majestic waterfalls you’ll ever see in your life. 

#2 Take a Bike Tour in Buenos Aires when in Argentina

Sure, walking around the city is one of the best ways to discover it, but you can only cover so much ground on foot. Instead, take a bike tour in Buenos Aires and discover some of the best parts of the city along the carefully constructed bike paths. Check out the local monuments and popular tourist attractions and even sample some delicious food there.

#3 Meet the Penguins in Punta Tombo

If wildlife and animals are what get your attention, you definitely can’t miss out on meeting the penguins on your trip to Argentina. Punta Tombo is a home to more than half a million penguins every year between September and March.

#4 Hike at the El Chalten

If you’ve got an adventurous soul, you definitely won’t be disappointed on your trip to Argentina- you’ll get to enjoy everything from hiking to kayaking and even white water rafting when you’re in El Chalten, one of the favorite tourist destinations for adventure sports.

#5 Visit the Lake District

Lake District is one of the best natural wonders in Argentina, complete with huge mountains, glacial lakes, dense forests and more- it is the picture perfect place to spend your time in peace and quiet and in touch with nature at its very best.

#6 Discover Las Cueva de las Manos

Your trip to the Las Cueva de las Manos may be a bumpy one, but it is definitely worth it. You can actually discover some of the earliest forms of human art in the form of prehistoric artwork that dates back to around 10,000 years ago. The highlight of your visit here will definitely be the ‘Cave of Hands’ which has hundreds of colorful handprints stencilled across a wall, from around 5000 years ago.

#7 Go Stargazing in Barreal

Known for being cloudless for around 300 days a year, this place is a must-visit for all those who would love to spend some time getting a glimpse of the ‘other world’ and indulge in breathtaking beauty of the stars. Make sure you take the nocturnal tour that allows you to use a 40 ton telescope to see those stars like never before.
