Introduction
Argentina: A Vast, Diverse, and Welcoming Destination
Our tours take you to Argentina, a Spanish‑speaking South American nation with a remarkable territory of 2.78 million square kilometers (1.07 million square miles). As the 8th largest country in the world, Argentina offers an extraordinary mix of natural and cultural landscapes—beautiful, varied, and rich in heritage. Home to an estimated 46.2 million people (July 2022), the country is rapidly becoming one of the “new” favorite destinations for ecotourism, adventure travel, and World Heritage enthusiasts.
Here, you will feel good as you experience responsible, conscious, and plastic‑free travel. Caring for the environment is part of the journey, and part of the joy of visiting Argentina with us. Travelers from the United States are discovering Argentina in growing numbers, with a 20% increase in visitors in the first quarter of 2019 compared with the same period the previous year. The most sought‑after destinations—among both Argentinians and international travelers—include:
- Buenos Aires, the vibrant capital
- Iguazú Waterfalls, one of the world’s most spectacular natural wonders
- Patagonia, including El Calafate, San Carlos de Bariloche, Villa La Angostura, and Ushuaia, the southernmost city on Earth (at the end of the world)...
- San Juan and Mendoza, gateways to the Andes and to Argentina’s wine country
Argentina’s 33+ national parks are exceptionally well preserved, and 11 of them are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. These protected areas are invaluable assets for the tourism industry, which welcomed 5.3 million travelers in 2025, making Argentina the second most visited country in South America (after Brazil) and the third in Latin America (after Mexico and Brazil).
One of the country’s great advantages is the absence of “tourism fatigue.” You will enjoy destinations where excessive crowds are rare and authentic experiences remain intact.
Argentina also offers a significant incentive for international visitors: a refund of the value‑added tax (VAT) on hotel stays when paid with a foreign credit card or via international wire transfer. This policy has attracted 3.1 million additional visitors, strengthened the country’s competitiveness, and contributed to a tourism sector valued at US$39 billion, representing 6% of the national economy. Tourism has generated 1 million jobs, directly and indirectly.
A Country of Deep Time, Deep Sky, and Endless Discovery
Argentina is, quite simply, fascinating. Its diverse landscapes, rich culture, and warm, welcoming people create a destination unlike any other. From the Andes Mountains to the Pampas plains, from Patagonia’s rugged coastline to the tropical rainforests of the north, Argentina’s geography is as varied as it is ancient. Here, you can explore 230 million years of natural history, walk in the footsteps of the world’s earliest dinosaurs, and gaze at distant galaxies from world‑class observatories in Western Argentina.
Discover Deep Time & Deep Sky in San Juan, Argentina’s premier destination for scientific and academic travel. Visit:
- Ischigualasto National Park, birthplace of the oldest known dinosaurs
- El Leoncito National Park, home to two of the country’s most important astronomical observatories
