   Positioned succinctly between the Atlantic Ocean, which touches the full length of its eastern coastline & the spectacular Andes mountain range, which form the spinal backbone of both Argentina & the entire South American continent, this is indeed a blessed country.

It is equally blessed by the abundance of good arable lands, the fortunate array of climates, the availability of water for irrigation & for power, subterranean hydrocarbons, a people whose high level of culture & acknowledged technical & professional abilities permits them to take advantage of all that progress, civilization & culture offers & who have no religious or racial conflicts.

These ingredients make Argentina a country where peoples of all nationalities & global origins can indeed feel welcome & at home.

Argentina is a never ending kaleidoscope of changing visual delights.
From the ocean & river come the temperate waters caressing the beaches of Buenos Aires, much colder in the transparent Patagonian coves, freezing in the domains of Tierra Del Fuego & sailed by icebergs in the domains of the Antarctic Ocean.

From the high Andean peaks, the winter snows become water as they melt & descend into the valleys to fuel the mighty rivers that cross the alluvial agricultural landscapes. The rivers' Plate, Iguazu, Parana, Gualeguay & Salado have a never ending influence on this evolving land.

The land itself changes by district. Lofty along the entire spine of the Andes, windswept in southern latitudes of Patagonia, cozy in the foothills, superbly fertile on the Pampa, dark & mysterious in the jungles of Provincia Misiones & desolate in the high deserts of the northwest.

This is a country that displays itself so well. It offers some things historically old, while others modern, some things different, while still others homely & most of all, things refreshing around each & every corner. Culture, romance, history, theatre & all manner of arts are all alive & well in Argentina.

So whether you choose to remain in the confines of Buenos Aires, the big city; or venture into the hinterlands, the south, glacial Patagonia, the Lakes district, the Andes or the wine country & high foothills surrounding Mendoza & Tucuman, the desert landscapes of Salta or the steamy rainforest jungles of the northeast, be assured you are in for a journey of adventure & the vacation of a lifetime.
