Located in the southern part of South America, Argentina is one of the most fascinating and diverse countries on the continent. From the elegant streets of Buenos Aires to the glaciers of Patagonia, from Iguazú Falls to the vineyards of Mendoza, it offers an extraordinary variety of landscapes, cultures and travel experiences.

On Miranda Loves Travelling, this page brings together all our articles dedicated to this extraordinary country, based entirely on our personal travel experiences. Here you will find cities, natural wonders, restaurants, traditional food, photographs and practical travel tips to help you plan your trip.

Where is it?

Argentina occupies much of the southern part of South America and borders Chile, Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil and Uruguay. To the east it is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and stretches for more than 3,500 kilometres from north to south. Thanks to its enormous size, each region offers completely different landscapes, climates and traditions.

What to see

Argentina is a land of great contrasts. Buenos Aires fascinates visitors with its elegant neighbourhoods, tango and European-influenced architecture. Further south, Patagonia offers glaciers, mountains and spectacular landscapes, while in the north Iguazú Falls is one of the most impressive natural wonders on the planet. Mendoza, at the foot of the Andes, is famous for its vineyards and some of the best wines in South America.

In our articles, we describe the places we have personally visited, together with photographs and useful travel information.

The cities we have visited

Each Argentine city has its own unique character. Buenos Aires is cosmopolitan and rich in culture, while other destinations reveal the history, traditions and nature of this immense country. In this section you will find all the cities featured on Miranda Loves Travelling, with monuments, attractions and our travel impressions.

Nature and landscapes

Argentina is one of the most spectacular destinations for nature lovers. Glaciers, lakes, mountains, vast plains, subtropical forests and ocean coastlines offer completely different scenery. Each region provides unique experiences and makes this country ideal for those who love wide open spaces.

Patagonia

Patagonia is one of Argentina’s most iconic destinations. Its glaciers, crystal-clear lakes, mountains and endless natural landscapes attract travellers from all over the world every year. For many people, it is one of the main reasons to visit the country.

When to visit

Argentina can be visited all year round, but the best time depends on the area you want to explore.

Spring

Pleasant temperatures and blooming landscapes make spring one of the best seasons to visit Buenos Aires and the central regions.

Summer

Summer is ideal for exploring Patagonia and the southernmost areas.

Autumn

Autumn colours the vineyards and mountains, creating particularly beautiful landscapes.

Winter

Winter is perfect for snow sports in the Andes and for visiting the north of the country, where the climate is generally milder.

How to get there

The country is connected with Europe and the rest of the Americas through numerous international flights, mainly to Buenos Aires. Considering the size of the territory, domestic flights are often the most convenient way to reach different regions.

Getting around

Travelling around requires careful planning. Long-distance buses are a valid option, while domestic flights greatly reduce travel times. In Patagonia and in the wine regions, renting a car allows you to explore the area with greater freedom.

Traditional food

Argentine cuisine is famous throughout the world for asado and high-quality beef, but it also includes empanadas, excellent wines, traditional desserts and many regional specialities. Italian and Spanish influences are still clearly visible in many dishes.

During our travels we tried different restaurants and local specialities, which we describe in the dedicated articles.

Restaurants we visited

Food is an important part of the travel experience. In our restaurant articles we share our impressions of the places we visited, the dishes we tried and the quality of the service.
