After their historic win in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, everybody is talking about Argentina. The South American country is home to an endless list of natural wonders and cities you could spend your whole life exploring, and there’s never been a better time to check it out for yourself.
It’s home to lively cities, majestic waterfalls and tranquil wilderness, so there’s really something for everyone. If you’re planning your next trip there, here are a few spots you simply can’t miss.
Iguazu Falls
Located right on the border between Argentina and Brazil, you can access this UNESCO World Heritage Site from either country. The huge waterfalls are one of the most spectacular natural sites South America has to offer. It’s actually made up of 150 to 300 individual waterfalls and visitors can get pretty close thanks to the water thanks to the viewing platforms leading to the bottom of the falls, an area known as the Devil’s Throat.
Cafayate
The province of Salta is home to one of the most magnificent natural wonders of the world. Most people arriving to Cafayate are on their way to the Quebrada de Cafayate—a stunning drive complete with towering red rock formations. It’s made up of more than 60 kilometers of paved roads carved from sandstone and it’ll definitely make your Instagram feed stand out from the rest.
Southern Fuegian Railway
More commonly known as the “Train of the End of the World”, this steam train railway is a real sight to be seen. Located in the Ushuaia region, it’s considered the southernmost railway in the world. You can get a beautiful ride into the Tierra del Fuego National Park, complete with snacks and local specialties on board including alfajores and empanadas.
