A destination of endless adventure, Argentina is home to some of the most diverse natural landscapes in the world.

From the snow-capped mountains of Patagonia to the lush jungles and waterfalls of Misiones, visitors can enjoy a wealth of life-changing experiences in one trip alone. With the removal of all COVID-19 entry restrictions to the country, the reinstatement of the direct flight from London Heathrow to Buenos Aires with British Airways from 26 March 2023, and the launch of the digital nomad visa, there has never been a better time to discover some of the incredible adventures awaiting travellers in Argentina.

Stargaze surrounded by spectacular landscapes

With its clear, dark skies, Argentina is one of the best destinations in the world for a year-round stargazing experience. Argentina’s national astrotourism capital, El Leoncito National Park in San Juan, is located at 2,552 metres above sea level and is home to Argentina’s biggest diameter telescope. El Leoncito National Park is also perfect for hiking, with beautiful waterfalls and trails to explore. Other stargazing spots include Salto Encantado Provincial Park in Misiones with spectacular natural surroundings and Ampimpa Observatory in Tucumán which is one of the country’s most educational observatories.

Discover the vineyards of Mendoza

Producing 78% of Argentina’s wine, and home to over 1,200 wineries, Mendoza Province is renowned for its rolling vineyards, winery tours and cosmopolitan downtown area. But drinking wine is not the only activity to enjoy in this world-class wine region. Cycle around the vineyards and soak up the fascinating panoramic views, try harvesting your own Malbec with the help of a local wine expert, relax in a yoga class among the vineyards, or stay in one of the many cabins or hotels at the foot of the Andes mountain range.

Explore the capital, Buenos Aires

With the return of the British Airways direct flight from London Heathrow to Buenos Aires from 26 March 2023, now is the perfect time to discover Argentina’s vibrant capital. The city’s historic centre plays an important role and visitors can tour the famous Casa Rosada, Argentina’s Government House, and explore San Telmo, the oldest neighbourhood in the city and the tango mecca, with colonial buildings, antique shops and small cafes. Wander the streets of the trendy Palermo neighbourhood, home to independent boutiques and murals, and enjoy beautiful landscapes and local gastronomy in Tigre.
