Argentina

Where The Andes Meet The Pampas

Want to be captivated by a land of passion, stunning beauty, and incredible food? Argentina is a place where the soulful tango meets a rich blend of European and indigenous cultures, promising an experience that will truly ignite your senses.

Imagine the spray of Iguazú Falls or hiking Fitz Roy's rugged peaks in Patagonia, surrounded by glaciers and turquoise lakes. Or envision the endless Pampa plains where gauchos ride freely. When it comes to culture, Buenos Aires pulses with the tango, vibrant street art, and historic barrios. As for food, indulge in succulent steaks with world-class Malbec wines, or savour delicious empanadas and dulce de leche.

Did You Know? Argentina is home to the widest avenue in the world. Avenida 9 de Julio in Buenos Aires is so broad that it spans up to 14 lanes in some sections, with obelisks and monuments dotting its impressive width, making it a truly unique urban landmark.

Ethos Travel Advice: To truly soak in Argentina, embrace its late-night culture. Dine late, stroll the barrios as they come alive, and experience the tango halls after dark. That's when Buenos Aires truly reveals its passionate soul, and you'll connect with the vibrant pulse of local life.
