Tourist Attractions & Monuments Argentina

A few steps from El Sosneado, on the provincial route 222 to 6 km from Los Soft, don't miss to go to the Wells des Âmes (Pozo de las Ánimas). This geological curiosity is made up of two huge cavities filled with water, reflecting the sky and clouds and in which the wind into and gives rise to the numerous legends surrounding this magical place. The site is accessible all year round, with precautions, especially if you move with children, the walls are very steep. 

Mendoza, Argentina, is a dynamic and attractive tourist city. For information on the region's attractions and activities, visitors can visit the Ente Provincial de Turismo. The tourist office also offers online services, such as management of tourist passenger lists and standardization of the tourism offering. Mendoza is a must-see destination for wine lovers, with numerous wineries and vineyards to visit. The city also offers magnificent mountain scenery, perfect for hiking and outdoor activities.

A small hike to the south of the village to recover from some energivore trekking in the glacier park. The departure takes place near the park office and allows you to admire a beautiful panorama on the turquoise waters of Lago Viedma.

If you are freshly landed and need to warm up quietly before embarking on more demanding hikes, opt for this nice hike. It will take you to the Chorillo del Salto waterfall, which was formed by the melting of the accumulated snow and glaciers of the Fitz Roy massif. To get there, we cross a beautiful low forest of ñires. The trail starts in the centre of El Chaltén, follow the same path that leads to the Laguna de Los Tres and continue along the path that goes to the right.

We also call the park of Ischigualasto (not always easy to pronounce), "moon Valley", which is actually the nickname given to Valle Pintado. When you look at this valley, you will acknowledge that it is talking about what is currently known as the Moon. The park is of great scientific importance because it is one of the only places in the world where all stages of the triassic era are represented (between 248 and 206 million years). The scientific exploitation of the park depends on the University of San Juan, which regularly invites researchers from all over the world to carry out excavations.

The park is a large valley bordered by two mountain ranges, Cerro Colorado and Los Rastros.

The classic course is to discover the famous rock formations and named according to their appearance (or depending on the appearance of your imagination): a submarine (El Submarino), a mushroom (El Hongo), a field of perfect curves (La Cancha de bochas) and the beautiful and surreal vallée valley (Valle Pintado).

This magnificent glacial lake of 557 km ² to intense marine blue waters gave its name to the national park Nahuel Huapi. It has a few islands and seven separate arms: Campanario, De, Blest, Machete, Del, Ultima Esperanza and Huemul. The first Europeans to discover it in 1670 are Jesuit missionaries from Chiloé, Chile, who are installing here the Mission Nahuel Huapi to evangelize indigenous people. The Bariloche agencies offer numerous excursions and other water sports on the lake.

A charming, peaceful and fertile area, where an astonishing natural granite monument is 7 metres high and weighs 72 tons in front of visitors. There is also a lift, a Tyrolean, water slides, a few hostels and what to make a gastronomic stop.

It is the Talampaya guides co-operative that manages this excursion. The canyon has its name (rainbow) since it will be followed by a variety of colours, from ochre to violet.

This circuit takes you to a rather wild gorge, Los Cajones, where the Río Talampaya is born, but it is no longer possible to venture further because of the stone falls. The canyon in question is very narrow.

The trail starts from the campsite and goes up to the summit of the Cerro of the Sociedad Científica from where you can enjoy a nice panoramic view. Duration 45 minutes.

For wind fous, Comodoro reserves a very nice surprise: 17 km north of the city, we find the country's largest wind farm and the second in South America… a surreal image, a little to the image of Comodoro. The park consists of eight windmills that generate 10% of the energy needed to supply the city. You will have the opportunity to see it (from a distance) from the airport.

The north of the city stretches from wild beaches to lost sight. The most beautiful are Cabo Curioso and La Mina. A mirador also allows to observe a colony of sea lions.

La Paz, located in Argentina's Entre Ríos province, is an attractive tourist destination. The city is bordered by the majestic Paraná River, offering vast, clean sandy beaches where visitors can relax and enjoy the scenery. La Paz is also renowned for its sport fishing, with generous fishing scenes accessible by boat. Nature lovers will appreciate the region's varied flora and fauna, as well as the Curuzú Chalí fish reserve. For those looking for accommodation, La Paz offers a variety of options, including hotels, cabins, hostels and aparthotels. Visitors can also take advantage of La Paz's thermal complex, located on cliffs offering panoramic views of the Paraná River and its islands. La Paz also hosts events and festivals throughout the year, such as the Fiesta del Dorado and the Fiesta del Surubí. With its natural landscapes, outdoor activities and welcoming atmosphere, La Paz is a must-see tourist destination in Argentina.

No you don't dream, the cave of Lourdes (without the basilica!) has its (almost) copy in line with Mar del Plata. Bernadette Soubirous never landed in Argentina, but believing all ex-voto ephemera on the rocks, the virgin of the Gruta de Lurdes is capable here of miracles too. Kitsch fans will enjoy.

Talampaya National Park, located in Argentina's La Rioja province, is a natural and cultural wonder. Covering 215,000 hectares, it was declared a provincial park and then a national park in order to preserve its paleontological and archaeological wealth. The site is world-renowned for its remains, including rock art and dinosaur fossils. It has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The park is 210 km from the city of La Rioja, 30 km from the village of Pagancillo, 60 km from Villa Unión and 130 km from Chilecito. The park's landscape is exceptional, with a majestic canyon of red walls and wind-eroded rock formations. The region's climate is arid and semi-desert, with plenty of sunshine and temperatures reaching up to 50º in summer. Sun protection and water are recommended when visiting the park.

60 km south of the city, you will discover a magnificent lagoon, once the crater of a former volcano. It owes its name to its blue colour, exceptional, thanks to the depth of its waters. The only way to get there, if you don't have your own vehicle, is to stop.

The Zootour operator offers a full day of excursion to the Luján Zoo (city tour also) from Buenos Aires.
