- Mount Fitzroy in Los Glaciares National Park , ice climbing toughness.
- Mar Del Plata is a spot for getting some sun on the beach if its summer- you can surf around here too.
- Iguazu Falls bigger and wider than Niagra Falls this is a great spot to stay and break up the long bus trips. Its an expanse of wonder all that water falling down, how the hell was this formed ?
Tips
Buenos Aires is a popular spot to go clubbing, so popular some hostels have integrated clubs and bars. Or have a tango class so that you can remember that you are not in Europe! I'm not sure I will ever forget getting spat on by the visitng fans at a Bocca Juniors game in La Bocca, I think it might finally be out of my hair now :)

It's difficult to choose one place to visit in Argentina. However if you have a few days, do not miss the chance of going to the Iguazu Falls. Located in the border between Argentina and Brazil (2/3 of the falls are within Argentina), these amazing 275 falls along 2.7 km of the Iguazu River will give you one of the most spectacular shows of Nature. The Devil's Throat is the most impressive part of it. It's 82 meters high and 150 meters wide cataract.
It is possible to access the falls from the city Puerto Iguazu in Argentina, Foz de Iguacu in Brazil or Ciudad del Este in Paraguay. In Argentina and in Brazil there are National Parks and both circuits are totally worth it, having two different views of the falls. You can also go for a boat ride very close to the falls and to do a "full moon night circuit".
Better to avoid the summer months because it is too hot and humid (remember the summer is December-january-February in South America) although equally beautiful.
Birds and flowers are abundant and colorful.

Ushuaia is the only spot to leave for your Antartic tour. It is the southernmost city in the world and is located in Argentina. It is often called "the end of the world".

Editors note you should first add cold water and leave it 2-3mins to swell the mate. This prevents the pipe getting blocked and also stops you getting boiling tea burns! You add boiling water after that and leave again 2-3 mins.

The wide boulevards in this city make finding a place to run hard but I found a run today and recommend it, there might be some work getting through the traffic initially but once you are there the ecological park is really good. There are some really cool buildings here too. I like my architecture and music while I run.

Had a slight delay at Heathrow, which meant I missed my connecting flight to Buenos Aires (BA) and so was stuck in Sao Paulo for 5 hours.. not to much of a problem as I sat in the Business lounge.. who said this backpacking stuff was supposed to be bad?
