Tango, Deserts, Waterfalls, and Glaciers

by Waxbag - last update: Aug 16, 2007

Brazil Side of Iguazu
This country has so much to offer the traveller. It should because it is the 9th largest in the world and runs through many latitudes giving it a great many of eco-zones and different geological areas.

My advise is to go soon before the peso catches back up with the dollar and every body decides it is a great place to travel to once again. It is cheap and not so overun with tourist at the moment.

Here are some of my highlights.
Iguazu Falls is one of the largest and perhaps the most spectacular falls in the world. Many debate which side is better, the Argentine side or the Brazil side. Both are different and well worth checking out. I think the Argentine side is more intimate but the Brazil side has better views for photography.
Moreno Glacier
Los Glacier National Park in Patagonia is a must see in Argentina. The area is pristine and outrageously gourgeos. The hiking oportunities in the Fitz Roy to the north are among the best in the world. The Moreno Glacier is not just a big piece of ice, but an audio-visual experience.
Don't miss the tango opportunities offered in Buenos Aires. There are many venues that offer classes and have dances (milongas). There is something here for all ranges of dancers including the begginner.

Not shown in my homepage are the beautiful deserts and mountains that all over the west and northwest of Argentina. Check my travel logs for more detail and photos of the various regions of Argentina. I love this country.
