Everything you need to know about Argentina
Travel across Argentina from the Andean northwest and subtropical northeast to the Pampas, Patagonian glaciers and Tierra del Fuego. Learn its provinces, cities and waters, discover the histories and everyday traditions behind the places, then practise Spanish. Regional accents, voseo and Indigenous languages are part of the country’s linguistic life.
Read it, then make it stick
Geography of Argentina
The Andes rise along the west, the Pampas spread across the centre and Patagonia stretches towards Tierra del Fuego.
Know the shape of the country
Start with all 23 provinces and the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, then place 24 selected cities and explore five rivers, three lakes, the Río de la Plata estuary and Atlantic Ocean. Zoom in to find the autonomous capital beside Buenos Aires Province. These generalised maps cover mainland Argentina and Argentine Tierra del Fuego. Geometry: Natural Earth, public domain. Shared border rivers are retained; sea areas show learning targets rather than maritime claims.
Places worth visiting
Essential · Waterfalls
Iguazú Falls
Hundreds of waterfalls thunder along a jungle-covered cliff. Walk out to the Devil’s Throat on the catwalk.
Pair Buenos Aires with Iguazú Falls, then head south into Patagonia for glaciers and granite peaks or northwest to the painted valleys of the Andes. Essential is our shortlist for a first trip, and worth a detour goes further. Select a pin to read about a place, then play the map and find them all.
