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;?

After having explored Ushuaia, the town at the end of the world, during my <a href="/argentina/">trip to Argentina</a>, I set off again towards El Calafate in order to get to one of the most famous glacier parks in Argentina: Los Glaciares National Park. Obviously my main objective was to be able to admire the gigantic <a href="/argentina/">Perito Moreno glacier</a>, on Lake Argentino, but I was also able to explore other less well known glaciers that were well worth a visit. To make the most of the tranquil atmosphere of Argentine Patagonia I decided to take a cruise in a catamaran. I boarded at Punta Bandera. As well as the splendid glaciers I was lucky enough to see the majestic ballet of the Andes condors. The glaciers appeared a few minutes later on the limpid blue water of Lago Argentina: Upsalla, Spegazzini, and, the star, Perito Moreno.  I was bowled over by the beauty of these enormous icebergs. The only noise breaking the silence was when icebergs detached themselves from the glaciers. Just so you know, we were unable to resist doing the "Titanic pose" - standing on the prow of the catamaran with our arms wide open!
