In the native Tupi-Guarani language Iguazú translates to ‘big waters’ and this is certainly no exaggeration. Water thunders relentlessly over 275 falls that straddle the border of Argentina and Brazil; the most impressive of these skirting the narrow Devil’s Throat. As well as witnessing the falls from both countries, you can explore the surrounding jungle landscapes.

Riding out with the strong, wise and trustworthy Gauchos, who have roamed these seemingly infinite grasslands for centuries under vast South American skies, immerse yourself in traditional Argentine culture. Working the land, rounding up the cattle, or just soaking up the elegant colonial ambiance, life on the estancia...exhausting, authentic, but most of all, rewarding.

Sipping your aromatic wine, you could be anywhere in the world, in one of the finest vineyards of France, Italy or South Africa, until you set your eyes on the landscape... unmistakingly Argentina. Expansive vines snaking their way to the foothills, drawing your eyes towards the snow-covered summits of the Andes, the perfect spot to enjoy a glass, only a few steps from its source.

The creaking signals the fluidity that surrounds you, the power of nature harnessed in this expansive sea of ice that twists, turns, advances or retreats depending on Mother Nature’s whim. A colossal chunk of frosty blue ice breaks away from the sheer cliff of ice that you sit below, creating an almighty crack and splash in this otherwise eerily quiet landscape.

North-west Argentina is becoming a real favourite with travellers looking for something a little different. And the region’s landscapes are certainly poles apart from the likes of Patagonia, the Lake District and Iguazú with vibrant hills, red-hued mountain valleys and winding canyons creating an otherworldly atmosphere.

This European inspired Argentinian town is often referred to as the 'Switzerland of South America' – and as it sits in the shadows of 2000-metre-plus Andean peaks on the southern shore of Lake Hahul Huapi, it is easy to see the similarities.
