Best Places to Visit

Ciclon77 — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 20:23:08 PDT

Within its vast geography, and with an area of 3.800.000 square kilometres, the tourist possibilities of Argentina are numberless.
With all the climates and geographical varieties, our country ranges from the subtropical forest in the northeast, with its plentiful flora and fauna; the numberless beaches over the Atlantic; the cultural and economic pole that is reflected in the city of Buenos Aires; to the wonderful Patagonia, with its lakes, woods, and glaciers, together with the possibility of knowing the Antartida eternal ice lands.
Among all these wonder, there are particularly remarkable zones to be visited by the tourist, zones that are impossible to miss. This section is devoted to stand out what we consider to be the most important zones.

Buenos Aires and its Roundabouts

The city of Buenos Aires, one of the most important ones in Latin America, is a great cosmopolitan and many-sided metropolis. With its evident universal influence, this city astonishes the tourist.
It is the capital of the Argentine Republic and the vital bond of the nation.
As long as European arquitecture is concerned, many streets recall those of Paris.
Its numberless museums, exposition and comference centres, art galleries, cinemas and theatres with high level national and international spectacles are witnesses of its important cultural life.
The Colon Theatre, one of the most important lyrical theatres in the world, is seat, together with some other scenaries, of an intense musical activity that comprises all genres including, of course, the famous and typical Tango; besides, the city is frequently visited by orchestras, groups and soloists from all over the world.
Financial, stock-exchange and economical seat of the country, Buenos Aires is the principal port of the nation. It has an intense commercial activity, reflected in numberless shops of the main worldfamous branches, shop centres and commercial shoppings.
Its nightlife is quite varied and extends up to the ealy hours. Discos, restaurants, cafeterias and many other attractions for all tastes are spread all around the city offering the tourist a large number of options.
Its accomodation capacity ranges from luxurious 5 stars hotels belonging to international chains up to modest lodgings, including all economic levels.

Train to the Clouds

It is one of the three highest trains in the world. It travels through the vertiginous mountains of the Andes Mountain Range and moves along astonishing landscapes.
It leaves from the city of Salta, moves along the Valle de Lerma (Lerma valley), gets into Quebrada del Toro (Bull's Gorge) and reaches the Puna.
The final point of the trip is the kilometre 1350 where you will find La Polvorilla viaduct which is 224 metres long and 63 metres high. It is the highest cowboy line, at 4200 m.a.s.l. and one of the most important ones in the world due to its characteristics.
The whole trip takes almost 15 hours, crossing 29 bridges, 21 tunnels, 13 viaducts, 2 "curls" and 2 zig-zags. Due to the height at which the train moves, it is quite common to see clouds under its bridges or at the mountainsides, hence the choice of its name.
The train offers several services such as: restaurant car, panoramic car, folk spectacles, consulting room, audio, video and bilingual guides.

Iguazu Falls

Declared "World Natural Patrimony of the Humanity" by the UNESCO, the Iguazu Falls are a sublime spectacle.
They are located within a wild uncultivated setting sorrounded by subtropical vegetation. Its 275 falls, some of them with more than 70 metres of height, make up a world of cascades that fall with such a strength that give birth to clouds of little atomized drops, in which the sun light decomposes in spectacular rainbows.
Among the main falls we can mention the Mitre, Belgrano, Rivadavia, Three Musketeers, San Martín, Bozzetti, Two Sisters and the famous Devil's Gorge, one of the most impressive falls due to its size and scenographic effect.
The Iguazu National Park, which lodges the famous falls, contains more than 400 species of birds, around 2 000 vegetal species and an immeasurable world of insects making of this bioma one of the richest natural environments of the country. They are near the locality of Puerto Iguazú.

Esteros del Ibera (Swampy Lands)

The swampy lands and ponds of Iberá and the ecosystems that make them up are, without any doubt, one of the richest biological areas of Argentina.
Approximately between the 20 and el 30 % of the Provincial Reservation of Esteros del Ibera is formed by ponds.There are more than sixty ponds that joined to swampy lands and marshes, make up an environment of extreme humidity giving birth to a remarkable diversity of animal and vegetal species.
Among the vegetal species we can find: Ombues, American Timber trees, Jacarandaes, Silk-cotton trees, Willows, Espinillos, Yatay Palm trees; and water plants such as Royal Water Lily, Water Hyacinth, the little cabbage and the Lesser Duckweed.
Among the fauna species we find great reptiles such as Alligator, rodents such as The Coypou and the Capybara (the biggest rodent in the world), The Swampy Deer, The Howling Monkey or Carayá, The small Grey Fox, The Wildcat, The Black Armadillo or Tatú, appart from Ferrets, Hares, Weasels, Vizcachas, Boas, Rattlesnakes, Pit vipers, etc.
Appart from these species, there are hundreds of bird species and an infinity of insects, among which we can find varied beatiful butterflies.
It is near the locality of Mercedes ( 125 km.) and the small village of Colonia Carlos Pellegrini (within the reservation), both located in Corrientes and comprising infrastructure for the tourist .

El Palmar National Park

The final aim of this Park and National Reservation close to the locality of Colón in Entre Ríos, is to preserve a representative sector of the large Palm trees area that extended over the zone up to the end of the last century.
These palm trees, of almost 12 metres of height, posses leaves of about 2 metres of length with trunks of 40 cm of diameter. Many of these specimen are about 200 years old.
In this captivating park, rich in flora and fauna, we find a special contrast, that is the contrast between the palm trees and the forest in galleries situated on the coastlines of rivers and streams.
There are several paths to meet the park, some of them can be gone through by car and others just on foot.

Valle de la Luna (Moon Valley) and Talampaya

The Provincial Park Ischigualasto (Valle de la Luna) in San Juan and the National Park Tampalaya in La Rioja, are next to each other, and both of them are paleontologic and archaeological deposits of utmost importance.
Fossils of vertebrates, footprints and rests of dinosaurs, ferns and petrified Araucaria trunks imprints, are just some examples that show its relevance.
They also posses geological formations that were wind-eroded resulting in curious shapes; natural sculptures very similar to real elements forms
The fauna of this region consists of guanacos, Patagonic hares or maras, foxes, ferrets and sierra squirrels, among others.
Finally, in Tampalaya we can see several petroglyphs and ceramics belonging to the inhabitants that occupied the land before the arrival of the colonization,and which are still object of numerous studies of scientists and investigators from all over the world.
Both parks offer the tourist specialized guides and in Tampalaya there is a vehicles private service that is in charge of taking the visitors into the park.
The city of La Rioja and the locality of San Agustín del Valle Fértil (in San Juan) are the nearest points to reach both parks.

Their waters are transparent and of different tones ranging from blue to emerald green.
In these lakes it is likely to find a great variety of trouts, and there are some points of the road that are considered excellent for sporting fihing.
San Carlos de Bariloche, San Martín de los Andes and Villa La Angostura are beautiful tourist mountain villages with an excellent service infrastructure for the tourist. They offer a large quantity of excursions and activities to do both within their cities or in their roundabouts.

Perito Moreno Glacier

It is located within The Glaciers National Park and was declared "World Natural Patrimony of the Humanity". Its front covers 5 kilómetres and it has almost 80 metres of hight above sea level. Ice blocks of different sizes are constantly coming off the glacier and falling into the waters of the Argentine lake causing astounding sounds and impressive waves over the surface, turning this moment into an unforgettable spectacle.
This glacier is one of the few ones in the world that is in constant development.
Several lacustrine and terrestrial excursions can be done, and even it is posible to walk on its surface being in close contac with the glacier ice, meeting its inner peaks and ponds. Within the park, located at 80 km. from the locality of El Calafate, the tourist can visit other nearby glaciers and take part in varied activities.

Information About Tango

Ciclon77 — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 12:38:40 PDT

Tango developed around 1850 and 1880 on both shores of Rio de La Plata. In the city of Buenos Aires, specifically in a neighborhood called Monserrat, crowds would gather at night for the practice of dances such as Tango, Candombe and Fandango, all of which had a bad reputation among the higher classes ruling Argentinean society at the time.

Regardless of its poor origins Tango, in time, developed into a national habit and for many decades was the favorite pastime of just about anybody living in Buenos Aires.

Modern times, slowly but relentlessly eroded the firm grasp Tango had in every single layer of Argentine society; never really disappearing, because Tango has a strong identification with what Argentineans, mainly the Porteños who live in Buenos Aires, are about. Recently, Tango has seen a revival with a number of younger crowds devoting time and effort to its practice, and a good number of places opening up where dancers of all ages can meet and dance. It will always be difficult to assess why a lack of enthusiasm for Tango came to be, as much as what are the reasons behind its renewed integration into Buenos Aires' entertainment picture.

It is not uncommon to see a small group of enthusiasts gathering in any street of Buenos Aires, although some neighborhoods are clearly being favored, to watch a young couple performing a Tango session with both of them dressed up, and including a little script play.

Typically, San Telmo or Florida Streets are where many of these performers can be found, day and night. On some occasions they would expect to collect small amounts of money from passersby.

Nothing characterizes Tango more than the instrument through which it gets played. A "Bandoneon", a musical instrument developed for religious ceremonies in Germany, is at the heart of how Tango sounds. It is impossible to determine how or when bandoneones were introduced into Latin America, although stories abound. The critical thing is the degree of difficulty in playing the Bandoneon and, needless to say, to master it-something Argentine musicians are very acquainted with. The same key makes 2 different sounds according to the contraction or expansion of the instrument's body.

Then, there are the dancers. They enjoy today as much recognition as Tango singers enjoyed in the old days. It is their attitude which is most appealing; the twists and slides they make while dancing, never loosing their pride or their arrogance, each dancer never loosing eye contact. And as the male seduces his partner, they both seduce and enchant their audiences, emotionally expressing whatever the particular Tango they are dancing represents to them at the time; usually some sad, nostalgic love story where the male gets abandoned.

From its remote origin on the streets of Monserrat, Tango has come a long way, enjoying popularity in theaters of Broadway and even having its own following in Japan-Tango singers included!!

it is bounded by Bolivia and Paraguay on the north, Brasil, Uruguay and the Atlantic Ocean on the east, and by the Atlantic Ocean and Chile on the west and south.

Relief

The western part of Argentina is occupied by the Andes mountain range, the great mountain system of the South American continent. Here we find the Aconcagua (6.959 m), the highest peak in the world outside those existing in the Himalaya.
There also exists several parallel ranges to the east of the Andes, such as the Eastern Mountain range and the Sub-Andean sierras to the north ,The Pampean Sierras to the north and centre from the Aconquija up to the Sierras of Córdoba and San Luis, and Buenos Aires sierras systems such as Tandilia and Ventania
The central part and the east of Argentina (except for the parallel groups to the Andes already mentioned) consist almost entirely of a flat or gently undulating plain.

Climate and Regions

Argentina has exceptional natural beauties, for it comprises a diverse territory of mountains, plateaux and plains with all the climatic variations
There are several climatic and landscape regions

	2) GRAN CHACO	Primarily forestal area with forests of subtropical climate, swampy lands and ponds.
	3) MESOPOTAMIA	In the northern part the subtropical climate prevails whereas, in the south the climatic conditions are more temperate . It is rich in flora and fauna. Its territory consists of slopes, ponds and swampy lands cut through by important rivers .
	4) CUYO	With its montaneous characteristics (The Aconcagua lies here), it has an arid temperate climate. However, man, through artificial irrigation, has turned it into an ideal land for the viticulture and viniculture.
	5) CENTRAL SIERRAS	The central sierras of Córdoba and San Luis offer a quite bening dry temperate climate. They posses numerous rivers and artificial water mirrors.
	6)HUMID PAMPA	The Pampa with its temperate climate posseses the most productive lands of the country (and one of the best ones of the world) for the agriculture and cattle breeding. Its plain landscape is just broken by Tandil and Ventania Sierras. The East is characterised by the vast populated beaches of the Atlantic coast.
	7) PATAGONIA	The largest region with the coldest climate (especially in the southern part). The west consists mainly of a montaneous landscape peppered with spectacular woods, lakes and glaciers. The centre offers sterile plateaux and the east vast beaches with spectacular and unique colonies of marine animals for sightseeing. The southern extreme of this region makes up the southermost point of the world.

To travel by car within our country there exists an important paving railway system perfectly signalled (if you are from abroad you must have international driving license).

Several bus companies work along the whole country reaching, in general, all the cities in comfortable units (some of them are cimatized including colour TV, toilette and hostess service).
There are several airlines that perform domestic flights to the main cities of Argentina, with the possibility of making combinations later on with overland transports to go to other smaller urban centres either by bus, taxis or remisses.
The underground system in Buenos Aires (founded in 1913, was the first subway of Latin America), is one of the quickest ways of travelling within the city. This system currently comprises around 46 km, includes 80 stations and moves more than 250 millon passengers per year. The ticket fare is $ 0,70 and subway services operate from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM Monday throught Saturday and 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM on Sundays. Tickets or subtepass are purchased in the subway stations.
Within the city of Buenos Aires there are 32.000 taxis. There are painted yellow and black. The exact fare is displayed on an electronical meter that stars al $ 1,12 an adds $ 0,14 for every two hundred meters (two blocks aproximately).

There are many radiotaxis companies. They are ordered by telephone and pick up passengers anywhere. They do not charge extra and they are safer depending on the hour and the place.

The remise is a service similar to the radiotaxi, only the cars have no markings and they calculate the fare based on the distance.

As long as buses are concerned, the tariff is related to the stations travelled and it must be payed by introducing coins (according to the value of your trip) in automatic machines. It is not necessary to hace exact change because the machines return money, but it is necesary to hace coins because the driver does not change bills. You must get on by the front door and get off by the back or central door depending on the bus model. The vehicles are painted in different colours according to the line they belong to, which, by the way, make up more than a hundred.

The train is a good alternative to get out of the metropolitan area. Lines going north depart from Retiro station and lines headed south leave from Constitución station. The Federico Lacroze and Once stations are the starting points for trains headed northwest and southeast respectively.

If you want to know how to reach the tourist destinations available in this guide, refer to those cities to get more details.

When to travel

Remember that in the Southern hemisphere the seasons are the opposite to those in the Northern hemisphere.

The high season in Argentina takes place during the months of January and February (summer holidays) and July (winter holidays). During those periods the local tourism grows and prices get generally higher.

You can enjoy Buenos Aires the whole year even though in summer (especially January and February), it is too hot.

Summer (January, February and part of December and March), is the most favourable season to visit the Patagonia (Andean and Atlantic); the central Sierras (Cordoba and San Luis); and the Sierras and beaches of the Buenos Aires cost.

Winter (June, July and August), is advisable to travel to the North and Northwest for the rains are less frequent and the tropical temperature drops a few degrees.

Autumm and Spring are ideal for the Cuyo Region even though summer is a good time to visit it too.

July and August are the most convenient months for the practice of ski in the varid Winter Ski Centres that our country offers.

Winter and Spring are appropiate to visit Misiones and its Iguazu Falls (Summer is too hot).
Choose your clothes according to the time of the year and the region you visit.
