Argentina Highlights
Be amazed in this vast and ancient land. A pearl of South America.
Asado, Soccer, Tango, Mate, Malbec, Dulce de leche, Choripán, the Obelisco. We are all that, but we are much more than that.
The coffee shop round the corner, a non-negotiable: time to be shared with friends, Sundays spent with the family, the avenue that never sleeps, the rock nights.
Endless Pampean plains, gauchos, festivals in villages, folklore.
The Patagonia, remote and mysterious, and the North, sunny and colorful. The forest, the desert, the highest peak in the Americas and the End of the World; different personality and character traits have settled in these landscapes and climates.
Warm, fun, outgoing, friendly, passionate. These are some of the words used to describe the way we are.

Due to its extension, 2.780.400 km² (1,073,518 sq miles), Argentina is the second largest country in South America, forth in the American continent and eighth in the world.
Its continental territory occupies most part of the southern part of the continent and limits to the north with Bolivia and Paraguay; to the northeast with Brazil; to the west and south with Chile and to the east with Uruguay and the Atlantic Ocean.
The People
The Argentine Republic has a population of about 40.1 million inhabitants (2016) and it is a result of both the direct descent of immigrants and the mingling of those immigrants with natives and the original inhabitants that lived in the country before the Spanish conquest. Argentina is considered to be an immigration country, because of the massive number of people who arrived in the country, especially those coming from Europe, mainly Italians, Spaniards, Germans and Polishes. Nowadays, Argentina is still receiving new immigrants from Asia (North Korea, South Korea and China) and Latin America (Paraguay, Bolivia and Peru).
The Language
The official language in Argentina is Spanish.
However, it is possible to communicate in English at the three, four and five star hotels.
