If you’ve ever thought about embarking on an exciting South American adventure, then consider a vacation to one of South America’s most inviting and adventurous countries – Argentina! Argentina has become a favorite among travelers for several reasons. The first is the wide variety of activities that can be found there. Because of the vast geological expanse of Argentina you can experience any range of outdoors activities. Send yourself on a gorgeous backpacking trip during a Patagonian adventure, or sunbathe in the jungles of Iguazu.
If you’re more of a city dweller, enjoy the metropolitan nightlife of the Paris of the South when you travel to Buenos Aires. Regardless of your interests and vacation styles, Argentina has something for everyone.
The second biggest reason Argentina has become some popular among world travelers is the favorable exchange rate. Due to an economic crisis in 2002, Argentina’s peso is now at 3.7 to the dollar. This means that European, Australian and North American travelers can enjoy all the comforts of a luxury vacation while spending very little. When you add this favorable aspect to a vacation in Argentina, in addition to the world famous steak and Malbec that everyone is talking about, Argentina becomes hard to beat.
So what can you expect on your Argentine vacation? Well, right now is an excellent time to travel to Argentina because the high season has just turned.

However, the weather is still nice in Argentina making right now an amazing time to visit this South American wonderland. You can enjoy the sunny weather of the high season, with low season prices! Additionally, flight prices are at an all time low worldwide meaning that you can have the adventure of a lifetime at a fraction of the normal price it would cost you to travel.
