Though Argentina has made headlines in recent years due to its financial crisis and the tumbling value of
its peso, it remains an excellent and safe destination for tourists and visitors. In some ways, Argentina's
financial woes are a boon to those wishing to live there for a period of time. The lower value of the peso
means other currencies such as the U.S. dollar can really go far. This makes Argentina one of the best
bargains for those wishing to spend a significant amount of time there.
Argentina has a very European culture and feel. In fact, most of its population of almost 40 million has
European ancestry, with roots in countries such as Spain, Italy and Germany. This makes Argentina one of the
destinations of choice for Americans and Europeans who want to go somewhere that they feel they can truly
blend in with the inhabitants and the culture.
Spanning north to south for almost the entire length of South America, Argentina provides a very diverse
climate and landscape. From the glaciers at its southern tip, where it practically reaches to Antarctica,
to the subtropical regions in the north bordering Brazil, Argentina has just about every type of landscape
you can imagine. You can find snow covered mountains, vast farming plains, mighty rivers with roaring
waterfalls, and a seemingly endless coastline with beautiful beaches, as well as large modern cities.
Over 15 million people (more than one third of the country's population) live in Buenos Aires, a
sprawling, cosmopolitan city with a European feel. All of this combines to make Argentina a very
attractive destination.
