With a name deriving from the Latin word "silver", Argentina, the second largest country in South America shines through its history, mixtures in culture and symbols which make it unique. With the highest point above sea lever in the South and West Hemisphere in the Mendoza province (6,962 meters) and the lowest point below sea level in South America at Laguna del Carbon (-105 meters), this country is interestingly divided into four regions reaching from subtropical (North) to subpolar (far South). Observe the resemblance to European architectural styles in the capital city Buenos Aires. Enhance your knowledge with the Argentinean literature or watching a play in Teatro Colon, the second largest performing theater in the Southern Hemisphere. Breathe in the natural beauty in Iguazu National Park, a huge subtropical rainforest and home to Iguazu Falls, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Experience the diversity by taking a boat trip to the Perito Moreno Glacier, which is almost 30 kilometers long and a one of a kind glacier because of its rupturing process. Enter the Plaza Dorrego, known to be the birthplace of the passionate tango or walk around La Boca, the neighborhood of football legend Diego Maradona. Become one of the “portenos” (locals of Buenos Aires) and feel the passion in the birthplace of the tango, Argentina.
