  Argentina is vast and varied. This up-to-date handbook is an informative guide to making the most of a trip of any length to this exciting country. Buenos Aires is an elegant, fascinating capital city well placed as a starting point for exploration in one of many directions: north to get to ruined Jesuit missions and the magnificent Iguazu Falls; southwest to get to the beautiful Argentinean lake district; or far south to the highly remote Patagonia region to see spectacular glaciers and wildlife. Information is included on: the best time to visit; Argentina highlights and how to plan a trip; airpasses; useful Spanish words and phrases; and where to stay from hotels, guesthouses and camping, to developing estancia accommodation.
