BACKPACK ARGENTINA – VISIT ARGENTINA BY BUS WITH BAMBA EXPERIENCE

Bariloche, Messi, Chorizo, Iguazu, Tango, Tierra de Fuego... what more comes to mind when you hear the word “Argentina?”  The largest country in Latin America is made up of a mixture of European descendants mostly from Italy and Spain which is why you might see so many tall, light skinned, blonde-haired people walking around.  In some parts of Argentina you may feel you are in European city in the middle of Latin America, but Argentines are full of life, personality and freely express their opinions, this is their true Latin flair.


Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina is a vibrant and modern city that will keep you busy for days.  Dance to the sensual sounds of Tango music in San Telmo where you can learn what this passionate art is all about.  Wander around in La Boca neighborhood to see the colorfully painted houses and find an authentic Parrilla serving up the juiciest Argentinian steak.  Swing by the Estadio de Futbol for a tour through the museum on football, a sport every Argentine lives and dies for.  


Argentina is not only famous for its culture, nor does everything in the country revolve around Buenos Aires.  Get away from the capital and out to Iguazu Falls for peek down into the Devil’s Throat where the Iguazu River plunges over a 100 meter drop forming over 250 cascades.  Immerse yourself in nature in Patagonia leaving no rock unturned by heading as far south as Ushuaia and working your way back up through El Calafate where you can visit the impressive Perito Moreno Glacier.  In Bariloche and the lakes district you could spend days on a bike, kayak, skis or on foot discovering breathtaking landscapes with adventure activities galore.  Sip fine wine in Mendoza as you watch the sun sink over the horizon in the mountains.
