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;?

Before going to the <a href="/chile/">Island of Chiloé</a>, I went to the little German style town of Puerto Varas, in the heart of the Lake Region in Chile. It was in this village that I explored Lake Llanquihue. With a surface area of 800 km2Lake Llanquihue is the second largest lake in Chile, after Lake Carrera.  The staff in our hotel recommended going along the southern shore of the lake to have the best view of Osorno volcano and the surrounding forests. Alongside Lake Llanquihue we saw some fishermen and canoeists. The beaches of black sand on the edges of the water are perfect for a little siesta or a picnic. We didn't have the time to get to Ensenada nor to Puerto Octay where our hosts had recommended we rent a little cabin on the lake shore. But we will defnitely do it another time! You can also go as far as the Petrohué waterfalls which are about 60 km from Puerto Varas.
