With its end of the world feel,&nbsp;Argentina attracts and surprises. Its very rich&nbsp;unique culture,&nbsp;its varied breath-taking scenery&nbsp;or even&nbsp;its dynamic and bustling capital city, Buenos Aires,&nbsp;mesmerise travellers. Whether you choose to concentrate on one area, or alternatively travel the breadth and width of the country,&nbsp;a trip to Argentina has what it takes to satisfy all your desires. Its landmass covers a part of the luxurious&nbsp;amazon forest, pampas plains, and also the steppes and glaciers of Patagonia for&nbsp;enthusiasts of extensive&nbsp;hikes and treks. Argentina also shares two of its geographical landmarks between its neighbours, who are witnesses to the incredible diversity that the country has to offer: in the north-east the majestic&nbsp;Iguazu Falls&nbsp;are divided into three parts; one in Brazil, another in Paraguay, and finally the most spectacular falls of the park which are home to the Devil’s Throat, on the Argentinian side. Nearly 4,300km from there, at the southernmost point of the country, Argentina covers a third of the legendary Tierra del Fuego, the rest of which is controlled by Chile.&nbsp;Ushuaïa&nbsp;still remains to this day the Eldorado of escapism in the hearts of adventurers. So, are you ready for your&nbsp;trip to Argentina&nbsp;?

Situated at an altitude of over 15 416 ft., at the heart of the Andes cordillera, the Paso de San Francisco is a pass between the province of Catamarca and the Atacama region in Chile. 
From Argentina, following the RN60 road, we arrived at Paso de San Francisco from Chaschuil Valley not far from the pretty Laguna Verde. All along the road leading from Argentina to Chile, between snow-capped mountains, multi-coloured lagunes and arid deserts, we passed through sumptuous Andean landscapes. A four-wheel drive is almost indispensable as the roads are very steep. Mind, if you are prone to travel and/or mountain sickness, do not forget to take along some medication (remember, coke leaves are forbidden in Argentina and Chile). 
All along the way, do not forget to lift your eyes to the sky and the earth, as Andean animals will cross your path.
