Bradt Argentina

by Erin McCloskey

This new Bradt guide to Argentina reflects the resurgence and investment in quality tourism that is taking place in this country of passion and vast wilderness. A full range of must-do travel experiences are featured such as trekking on horseback through the Andes and wildlife excursions around the Valdés peninsula, famed for its penguin colonies and whale-watching. This guide also focuses on the small-scale initiatives for visitors that are mushrooming in Argentina; a couple of the possibilities include taking part in an archaeological dig or wildlife conservation project.
