Argentina

Argentina’s diverse landscapes attract outdoor enthusiasts who come to hike the multicolored mountains of Quebrada de Humahuaca, walk in the enormous salt desert Salinas Grandes, and get drenched on a boat ride at Iguazu Falls.

World famous waterfall Cataratas - Foz do Iguaçu at the border of Brazil and Argentina.
