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;?

Quilmes is a city of about 200,000 people in the province of Buenos Aires. There are several options available to get there: you can drive, by taking the highway from Buenos Aires, you can take the train from Constitución station or you can even take the bus. Expect at least an hour by car, 30 minutes by train and 35 to 45 minutes by bus.
Quilmes is best known for lending its name to Argentina's most popular brand of beer, founded in 1888 by German-born entrepreneur, Otto Bemberg. If you're only staying in Argentina's capital for a short time, there's no need to go to Quilmes. Instead, you should visit the gaucho village of San Antonio de Areco, about 90 miles away.
 I had the opportunity to explore Quilmes while visiting a friend who was studying at the Universidad Nacional de Quilmes, and I was not charmed at all by this large industrial city. The casco historico, or historical centre of Quilmes, however, has some buildings of historical interest, and you can participate in water activities near the Río de la Plata.
