Rough Guide to Argentina

FROM THE PUBLISHER

This country (the 7th largest in the world) has finally been described with the same degree of passion that its residents are known for. With extensive cultural and historical information, the Rough Guide to Argentina seeks to interest and immerse its readers in the rich variety of the country from the jungles of Misiones Province and desolate beauty of Tierra del Fuego, the cultured urbanity of Buenos Aires.

The guide also includes incursions into the deep south of Chile, Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay, and Asunci in Paraguay; recognizing established travel routes and full details of border crossings. There's a strong focus on national parks with detailed trekking information for the outdoor enthusiast.

Lively coverage of all the attractions of Buenos Aires, the scintillating capital city.

Vivid accounts of the spectacularly varied landscapes, from the jungles of Misiones to windswept Ushuaia, the world's southernmost town.
