Argentina

There's tango and gauchos, of course. But there's also mucho más, che! Such as the big-sky country of Patagonia, Mendoza wine country, skiing at Bariloche. And of course buzzing Buenos Aires, one of the world's great metropoli.

Visitors to part of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, and Peru (where it's the national animal and is even on the country's coat of arms) may come across this quintessential South American mammal, a camelid related to guanacos, llamas, and alpacas (which are descended from vicuñas) The smallest of the camelids, vicuñas stand about three feet tall at the shoulder; weigh between 70 and 150 pounds; and have long necks and legs as well as relatively small heads with long pointed ears. …

At mighty Iguazu Falls, Argentina & Brazil share the glory

What’s it like to be in the presence of the world’s largest waterfalls system? Well, in three words: wet, wild, and wonderful. These wonders of nature formed as the Iguazú River hurtles off the Paraná Plateau in the form of hundreds of waterfalls, at a rate of 1,500 square metres (gallons) per second, mark the local border between Argentina’s Misiones state and Brazil’s Paraná state (with Paraguay’s Ciudad del Este right nearby, as well).

7 SIGHTS OF BUENOS AIRES - A PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNEY IN A HOT SUNDAY A...

In the quarter of San Telmo, in a Sunday afternoon, people dance in the square.
Tango, the art of Argentina, is actual as ever.

Just saw this image on the official Argentina tourism website. Looking past the hotness of the two models... wouldn't it be great to see more destinations doing this kind of outreach? The caption: "We shared our first vacation together in Argentina."

Hey, did you hear the one about the Jewish gaucho? No joke, actually - here's a piece from this past weekend's Washington Post that talks about an "Argentine Borscht Belt":
