Argentina
The name Argentina already sounds auspicious, being derived from the Latin argentum, or silver. Between the Atlantic coast in the east and the Andes in the west streches the vast grassland of the Pampas and Patagonias. Here you can still experience the wild romanticism of the gaucho culture. The natural wonders of the impressive Iguazu waterfalls in the border region to Brazil, the whales and elephant seals near the Valdéz peninsula, all offer unique worlds of experience, as do the spectacular glacier landscape of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego''''s lighthouse at the end of the World.
