Keep a little mystery in your trip planning: Explorer Picture Mode shows a stylized version of every place instead of the real photo, so you can go by the description and reviews first and picture it your own way -- reveal the real photo any time by flipping the switch off, or just for one place at a time from its own page.

Domestic flights are the practical way to cover Argentina's enormous distances -- Aerolíneas Argentinas and budget carriers connect Buenos Aires with Patagonia and Iguazu Falls in a few hours each.
Long-distance buses are extensive and comfortable -- "cama" or "semi-cama" reclining seats make even overnight journeys reasonably comfortable.
Within Buenos Aires, the Subte (subway) and app-based rideshares are widely available and generally the easiest way to get around.
Argentina is the second-largest country in South America, stretching an enormous 3,700 kilometers from the subtropical north to Tierra del Fuego near Antarctica.
The Andes mountains run the length of the country's western border, home to Aconcagua, the tallest peak in the Americas, while the vast, fertile Pampas grasslands dominate the center.
The far south, Patagonia, is defined by dramatic granite peaks and glaciers, while the subtropical Northeast is home to Iguazu Falls, one of the world's largest waterfall systems.
Argentina's enormous north-south length gives it nearly every climate zone in one country. The Northeast, including Iguazu Falls, is subtropical, while the central Pampas around Buenos Aires have a temperate climate with clear seasons.
The Andean Northwest is high and arid, while Cuyo (Mendoza) has a dry, semi-desert climate that, combined with irrigation from Andean snowmelt, makes it ideal wine country.
Patagonia, in the far south, is cool to cold year-round and famously windy, with weather that can shift dramatically within a single day.
