Argentina, from North to South


The four seasons are very good time to go on a trip to Argentina. From north to south, covering an area of ​​3694 km and its varied geography offers numerous and very different travel options.

Argentina seems to be at the end of the world, yet is only 10 hours flight from Europe and 8 h of Miami. Framed by Chile to the west, Bolivia and Paraguay to the north, Brazil and Uruguay to the east, covers an area of ​​2790 km2, which represents nearly 5 times the size of France. Its population still do not reach 40 million inhabitants, of whom 12 million live in the capital, Buenos Aires.

All this means that Argentina is a land of vast, 360 degrees of nature, great distances, great diversity and many contrasts. A country where the view is lost in the horizon, where the senses are awakened and where one is allowed to easily wrap the warmth of its inhabitants and authenticity that are still located across the country.
