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;?

San Agustin del Valle Fertil is the main access point for Ischigualasto National Park (also called Valle de la Luna). It's a small town with 4,000 inhabitants which has managed to retain its traditional dress and customs. Most of the inhabitants are Diaguitas. Like their ancestors they live from making crafts, agriculture and raising animals. Thanks to their proximity to Ischigualasto National Park they also earn a bit of money from tourism. 
Among the things you absolutely must see in the area are the Difunta Correa shrine (dedicated to a young woman who died so her baby could live) as well as the ruins of the Jesuit mission, Las Tumanas, . 80 km away you will find Talampaya Park. At San Juan, 250 km further on, don't forget to try the region's white and sparkling wines. So which do you prefer?  Vino blanco (white wine) or  vino espumante (sparkling wine)? Watch out - too much alcohol is not good for your health!
