Tango and soccer - they're good with their feet, the Argentines, and this year presents a great opportunity to take cheap flights to Argentina. It is marking its 200th birthday with a slew of celebrations, of which one of the highlights will be the reopening of the "Teatro Colon", the iconic opera house in Buenos Aires.
The capital city pulsates with a New-York type energy but a European feel; parts of Buenos Aires will put you in mind of Barcelona, Paris or Madrid.
Cordoba is Argentina's second city, located between Santiago, Chile and Buenos Aires. It's one of the most culturally rich cities and has a thriving literary heritage.
Without doubt, one of Argentina's biggest drawcards are the Iguaçú Falls, a two-hour flight north of Buenos Aires. The Falls border Brazil, and consist of 275 waterfalls along almost 3km of the Iguaçú River.
Parque Nacional Los Glaciares, in the south west of Santa Cruz on the Chile border, is another wonder. It's a Unesco World Heritage Site, home to the Perito Moreno Glacier, which has a front 5km long and a height of more than 60 metres above the level of the water.
The Iberá wetlands in Corrientes Province, in the northeast, are an under-visited destination. Here, you'll spot caiman, a crocodilian reptile, capybara, the world's largest rodent, and the elusive maned wolf, a fox-like animal that is a provincial natural monument.
