Iguazu Falls

Perito Moreno Glacier

The Perito Moreno Glacier, which can be seen in Los Glaciares Park, is probably one of the most beautiful places on our planet. You can see the glacier with your own eyes from a special observation platform.

Thirty kilometers wide and protruding above the water for sixty meters, this miracle looks majestic and powerful. It may seem that the glacier is frozen in place, but it is not. The speed of its movement is two meters per day.

Especially sharp, unforgettable emotions can be obtained if you find yourself inside the iceberg. And it can be! Special boats take tourists away so that they can be in the ice cave.

Talampaya

Talampaya is the land of the dinosaurs. More than 200 million years ago, in the Triassic period, the ancestors of dinosaurs - lagosuchians - walked around the Argentine province of La Rioja.

Buenos Aires Botanical Gardens

The Botanical Garden of Buenos Aires, which has graced the Argentine capital for almost a century and a quarter, has one touching feature. Even, rather, not a peculiarity, but an unusual additional purpose: for many decades it has served as a shelter for abandoned domestic cats, which come here themselves in search of food and protection.

The garden's employees treat and vaccinate the animals on a voluntary basis and help them find new homes. So people come here not only to admire the lush vegetation, sculpture and landscape design, executed in three styles at once - and the garden is really very beautiful - but also to find a new furry friend.

Recoleta Cemetery

When rich and famous Argentines go into eternity, they do it beautifully. Because on their final journey they go to Recoleta, one of the most unusual cemeteries in the world.

There are 6400 grandiose mausoleums reminiscent of Gothic chapels, Greek temples, grottoes and elegant villas. The exclusive cemetery is the final refuge for presidents, generals and great artists. But not only that. Recoleta is also one of the main attractions of Buenos Aires, a real city of the dead, where each crypt holds its own story.
