• Patagonia

    Patagonia—the windswept, sparsely populated tract of wilderness shared by Argentina and Chile—is an outdoorsperson’s dream. Its stark outback encompasses grassy steppes, expanding glaciers, Andean peaks, and some of the wildest lake country on the planet. But Patagonia is a place of beauty as well as ruggedness.

  • Argentina

    South America’s top European country: such is Argentina. Paradoxical? Undoubtedly. But so Argentines style themselves. And shockingly, once you visit hot spots like Buenos Aires (“The Paris of South America”) and Bariloche (a ski resort dotted with Alpine chateaus), this local loopiness becomes eerily convincing.
