In its vast surface Argentina offers every variety of climate and landscape: from tropical heat, always rainy and full of colorful vegetation, to polar cold, with its soberly white look thanks to snow and ice.
Located in the south in relation to the equator and the west in relation to Greenwich, the Argentine Republic is also a bi-continental country, since its territory occupies part of America and a portion of Antarctica.-

Argentina is made up of 23 provinces and the City of Buenos Aires, which are autonomous with political, administrative and economic powers.-

Yes, I've had fun despite all the initial hassle with the visa. I do hope to return one day to see Calafate & Valley of the Moon! :-) I want to hike on those glaciers at Perito Moreno!

¡Qué belleza...! Por suerte me queda cerquita... Ando pensando en las Cataratas desde hace algún tiempo (ahora que el fantasma del Perito Moreno me dejó tranquila!)

Great Photos of the Glacier! I love how blue the ice looks. I didn't get a chance to walk on the glaciers, wrong time of year. Thanks for sharing yours.
