Argentina Essentials

Argentina’s diverse geography spans from the tropical Iguazu Falls on the Brazilian border to the subantarctic glaciers of Patagonia. This collection features UNESCO-listed sites including the 17th-century Jesuit missions and the 9,000-year-old rock art of Cueva de las Manos. Geological highlights include the multi-hued canyons of Quebrada de Humahuaca and the Triassic fossils of Ischigualasto Provincial Park. Cultural heritage is represented by the Museum of High Altitude Archaeology in Salta, which houses well-preserved Inca mummies discovered on Andean peaks.
