Cheap flights to Argentina

Argentina’s natural beauty coupled with its diverse culture makes it one of the most unforgettable places on Earth to visit. Every province, town and city has a historic tale to tell thanks to the fascinating people who have lived, and continue to live here. Long before the Europeans arrived in the 16^th century indigenous groups occupied this land; the Incas were in the Northwest, the Tehuelche in Patagonia, and the Querandí inhabited the Pampas. 

Given its size, Argentina can seem overwhelming to the first-time traveller, after all it is the eighth-largest county in the world. But visitors booking their Argentina flights could also book an Aerolineas Argentinas Visit Argentina Pass which enables lower-priced travel within the country so you can hop from the sultry capital of Buenos Aires to the Central Sierras in Cordoba and then to the wineries of Mendoza.

Lovers of the great outdoors can’t miss a trip to Patagonia and the Iguazu Falls. The Peninsula Valdes wildlife reserve in Patagonia is home to migrating whales, seals, sea elephants, dolphins and penguins while Iguazu’s National Park has more than 2,000 identified plant species and 400 bird species in its subtropical rainforest.

What is good to know if travelling to Argentina?

• Buenos Aires is the arrival point for most travellers and arguably the most fascinating city in the country. The bustling, romantic city is full of life – watch people dancing the tango almost everywhere you go, including outside on the streets, spend a morning walking the city, eat at one of the steakhouses and dance the night away in one of the many nightclubs.
• Tango is the dance of Argentina. Dating from the early 1900s, one of its most famous exponents is Carlos Gardel. The Tango Day is celebrated every year in BA on December 11, Gardel’s birthday. If you’re in the city at any other time of year though, you can still pay tribute to his memory. The Museo Casa Carlos Gardel is a museum in his mother’s old house containing memorabilia.
• If traveling to Patagonia make sure you take appropriate clothes. Even in the summer, temperatures can plummet unexpectedly. The landscape and scenery is beautiful – especially in the Tierra del Fuego region. Hiking is the one of the best ways to see it.
• The Iguazu park (Parque National del Iguazu) is home to the spectacular Iguazu Falls. This huge system of waterfalls comprises 270 individual falls over nearly two miles of the Iguazu River. The Devil’s Throat is the steepest part of the falls. Reach it by train from Central Station.
• The town of San Agustín de Valle Fertil is a perfect base from which to visit the two parks Talampaya and Ischigualasto. The parks are famous for their distinctive redstone cliffs. Dinosaur remains have been found in the gorges of both parks – the most spectacular at Ischigualasto
