The Rough Guide to Argentina
is the definitive guide to this staggeringly diverse country. The
full-colour section introduces the country’s highlights from the
sparkling emeralds and turquoise waters of the seven lakes, to climbing
Acongagua and dolphin-spotting at Puerto Deseado. This updated third
edition gives in-depth detail of the entire country – from cosmopolitan
Buenos Aires to the remote Argentine archipelago of Tierra del Fuego
and expanded coverage of major destinations including Salta, Jujuy,
Iguazu and the estancias of the Litoral. Also covered are areas often
visited from Argentina: Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay, Chilean
Patagonia and Chilean Tierra del Fuego. You’ll find informed
descriptions of the varied landscapes, from the pampas to Patagonia,
plus practical advice on the best places for hiking, climbing, ski and
rafting. The guide explores the country’s rich history and culture;
including detailed information on everything from the ascendancy of Eva
Peron to its Jesuit architecture. Practical information on
accommodation and transportation, and reviews of all the best places
for eating and drinking, and music are accompanied by the clearest maps
available of any guide.
