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;?

Gaiman is a Welsh style village in the province of Chubut in southern Argentina. Here they prefer tea to maté! Tea time is sacred and no one would refuse a torta galesa, the local specialty. I went to Gaiman when I was staying in with an Argentine friend in Trelew. The town seemed pleasant but that's all. Of course I tried the local cakes and listened to the inhabitants telling me about their town's history. It was these two things that made Gaiman pleasant - the food and the locals' stories. The town's old station is a museum dedicated to the saga of the railway in Patagonia. Unfortunately I didn't visit it. Gaiman definitely isn't somewhere you have to see during a <a href="/argentina/">trip round Argentina</a> but if you staying in the country for a long time and you have the opportunity to go there, and even to stay with some friends, you will enjoy it!
