And crossing the river, you can find Uruguay, a neighboring country that can also be called a brother country. So about 60 km from Buenos Aires, you can visit Colonia del Sacramento, an old colonial village that is very well kept and is a small jewel of quietness and joy.

The province of Mendoza is a dry piece of land with huge mountains to the west and an endless plain to the east. Only 5 % of Mendoza´s territory is productive and summers are long, bright and hot. But somehow nature has it surprises. The combination of soil with high quantity of minerals, long hours of sun, enough hours of cold and water brought by the thaw of the high snows created a perfect ecosystem for the development of grapevine. 85% from Argentinas wine comes from Mendoza and local productions has reached places far away. So this is Mendoza, a wine country combined with the impressive high Andes and all classical activities of the mountains. And as a complement, a provincial but nice city built by the working force of immigrants that came looking for a new future during the last century.
Ushuaia has white peaked mountains. Ushuaia has native forests that seem to be burning during fall. Ushuaia was founded in a protected bay beside the Beagle Channel, Atlantic Ocean. Ushuaia has lakes, rivers and turf valleys. So far nothing unique… But this pioneer city in the edge of civilization has something in the air you need to try for yourself. You really feel in the end of the world. Maybe it is the unfriendly weather. Maybe the spirit of the ancient families that established there, against odds and hostile nature. Maybe it is the Patagonian feeling that makes you want to visit more and more. Ushuaia is waiting for you!
Northern Patagonia is also known as the lakes district. This region goes from Caviahue in the north to Trevelin in the south and is a humid patch of between 70 and 100 km wide from the Chilean border to the Patagonian barren steppe. The Andean Patagonian forest has developed here staining the mountain into a beautiful green-gray. Broken peaks, deep blue lakes, white rivers and light green valleys make a wonderful composition. Northern Patagonia is often compared with Switzerland and there is a reason. It is a jewel of the Andes and there are endless activities to enjoy. Sometimes Bariloche is forgotten because of the magnetism of the Glaciers National Park further south, but if you have enough time in Argentina you won´t regret visiting the head of Northern Patagonia!
Northwest Argentina, sharing borders with Chile and Bolivia, is one of the regions with more character. Spanish and Christian culture overlapping ancient ways and forgotten Gods. Although the pre Columbian inhabitants were not Inca, they spoke a similar language and trade a lot with the great empire. You can still see traces of the older cultures in the food, the music, the clothing and the faces of people. Very high and dry mountains only interrupted by some fertile valleys. Salta and Jujuy are a pleasant and welcoming surprise for the traveler.
It used to be a quiet small country capital, but after the economical surge and liberal opening it developed to a fast growing metropolis. High buildings are rising and changing the shape of the city, keeping the oldest and interesting structures and adding new and vibrant neighborhoods. Travelers use Santiago as a point of entry to South America but it is worth to visit the old markets, the streets with imposing classical buildings and the leisure areas full of restaurants and bars.
