If mixed-blood can be used for countries, Argentina will be the perfect specimen in all aspects. From sub-tropical northern forests to the icy steppes of Patagonia, from hedonistic cities trumpeting with sounds of revelry to unspoiled wilderness with nary a whisper, and even down to its people with whom European sensibility and South American passion interplay fluidly to create that charmingly characteristic Argentine; possibly, no other countries in the world take on such contrasting personas and characters as well as Argentina does. Whether you are a nature lover or an urban sophisticate, a customised Argentina tour package from Chan Brothers Travel Private Tours can bring you to a world where opposites collide to form a uniquely-mixed formula that is Argentina.  

Undeniably the big gun in Argentina’s arsenal of spectacular sites, and also one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, Iguazu Falls is a jaw-dropping sight for sore eyes. Powerful, torrential and rumbling, it is one of those that delivers assaults to all your senses unashamedly and immediately, no subtle build-ups required. Most travellers arrive and leave on the same day but there are many other indulgent options if one wishes to experience the wonder in all its glory – take to the sky and hover above the falls for a view like no other or stay in one of the many lodges, some rather luxurious, and take your time to explore what is remaining of the great Atlantic rainforest. However you choose to acquaint yourself with this stunner, it is guaranteed to be a wonderful experience.

Perito Moreno Glacier is an imposing 30-kilometre-long slab of ice located in Los Glaciares National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site designated in 1981. Surrounded by ice-capped mountains and forests, the glacier that rises to a height of 70 metres from the surface of the water is in itself a worthy sight to behold, however that’s not all there is to it. Perito Moreno Glacier hosts an unusual phenomenon in which spectacular ice chunks loosen from its main body and crush down into Lake Argentina, creating dynamic waves and tumbling echoes to its surrounds. But eager punters have to be lucky as this phenomenon happens irregularly every four to five years with the last major rupture in January 2013, but there are instances of just a two-year gap between previous occurrences especially in recent years, so go ahead and take a worthwhile gamble.

Cueva de las Manos (Cave of the Hands) is an unmissable highlight for any archaeological and history buff, as well as for any travellers who have a penchant for the mythical and mystical kind of stuff. Located in the province of Santa Cruz, the cave gets its name for the cluster of stencilled outlines of human hands that appear on the cave walls. As discovered from the remains of the bone-piped apparatus used to create these stencils on the rock, archaeologists have estimated that these were probably made by the indigenous people of the region some 9,500 to 13,000 years ago. Visually stunning as much as it is revealing of ancient pre-historic life, this is a wonder cave of epic importance showcasing the art of a long-bygone era.
