Argentina's Coastal Escapes

Argentina's coastline spans from the bustling urban beaches of Mar del Plata to the remote shores of Patagonia.

Further south, the city of Río Gallegos occupies a significant Patagonian bay, while the Bicentennial Lighthouse provides a modern architectural monument in the interior.
