Travel to Argentina may still be one of the great travel secrets. The country has, arguably, the tastiest beef, the sexiest dance, the most immaculately dressed people, some of the cutest penguins, the highest peak and the most cosmopolitan city in South America.
Add to that the gauchos and plains of Patagonia, world-class trout and salmon fishing, glacier skiing in the Andes and the European sophistication of the capital of Argentina, Buenos Aires—and a trip to Argentina provides a destination with immense potential.
Argentina has earned its good fortune. The country went through economic instability and hyperinflation in the 1990s, then de-linked from the U.S. dollar and restructured its finances. Now, visiting Argentina is one of the best values on the planet: first-world infrastructure, food, wine and service with a unique blend of European culture and North American drive.
