A detailed description of Argentina’s wonders is given below. Make sure to add them to your vacation package. 

1. Explore Buenos Aires- Land of Tango and the Gauchos:

Look closely and you will be amazed by this city’s architecture. With a fusion of European and Latin styles, Buenos Aires is the most dynamic part of Argentina as well as Latin America. Classic structures dominate the observing eye with their French and Italian styles evident. Buenos Aires is the perfect place for photography. Don’t forget the gauchos; their culture and history are to be known by all. They are the native cowboys who hold the pride of having served in the World Wars. Vacation packages offer a separate day tour to visit the gauchos for their cultural importance in the city. 

The food drama is beguiling here. Every street will have one parrilla (steakhouse) at least. Steak is cooked in old ceramic earthenware with charcoal as the main source. This gives the steak its authentic flavor which is craved by Americans and Europeans themselves! Have a wine-tasting session and let the city’s nightlife sink in. You won’t regret it!  

2. Journey to the Glaciar Perito Moreno:

Embark on a journey to visit the chilliest views of Argentina- Glaciar Perito Moreno. The glaciers of Argentina are pristine which makes it look like a tulip orchard. You can see it alone but a day tour will offer you the chance to see it in angles you would never think of. That’s not the end of the tour. Tourists can choose from a variety of things to do next. That includes ice-trekking, nautical safari, kayaking, and other optional tours around the glaciers. 

3. Palacio Barolo- The Architecture inspired Dante’s “Divine Comedy”:

It’s not just France and Italy filled with architectural wonders; the Palacio Barolo of Argentina is second to none. The structure has 22 stories divided into heaven, hell, and purgatory. It was inspired by Dante’s world-famous work “Divine Comedy”. The brilliant style of architecture looks like the prose has come into life. 

Tourists can linger in the lobby and absorb the centuries-old vibe. But a guide will do proper justice. Guides offer personalized tours providing information on literature, history, architecture, and photography. There’s a vintage café-house on the 16th floor.
