Football in Buenos Aires
Argentines are football fanatics. Fans shouldn't miss a match at Boca Juniors' La Bombonera stadium, in La Boca - a barrio where everything is painted blue and yellow.

Whales at Península Valdés
Off the fluke-shaped hump of Península Valdés, sea lions and elephant seals vie with killer whales and the local stars - southern right whales - which come to the warm waters of the Golfo Nuevo to breed.

Patagonia and the Ruta 40
Forget Route 66; get your kicks on the Ruta Cuarenta with stunning views of Patagonia's renowned lakes, volcanoes and forests - and a spit-roast lamb to reward your efforts at the end of a tough day.

Gauchos in San Antonio de Areco
If you visit only one pampa town during your stay, make it San Antonio de Areco - if possible on the Día de la Tradición, a major gaucho fiesta in November with "rodeo" displays galore.

Boat trips on the Beagle Channel
No trip to Ushuaia - the world's most southerly town - is complete without a boat trip on the Beagle Channel, the majestic, mountain-fringed sea passage and home to several species of seabird and marine mammal.

Perito Moreno Glacier
Mammoth blocks of ice detonate off the virginal Perito Moreno glacier providing a sound-and-sight spectacle that easily qualifies this frozen monster - and national monument - as one of the world's greatest natural wonders.
