Argentinien is bounded by Bolivia and Paraguay on the north,  Brazil, Uruguay and the Atlantic Ocean on the east, and by the Atlantic Ocean and Chile on the west and south.

Comprising almost the entire southern half of South America, Argentinien is the world's eighth largest country, covering an area of 2.8 million square km. Argentinien possesses some of the world's tallest mountains (Aconcagua, 22.834 ft., 6960 m., is the highest peak in the world outside those existing in the Himalaya), expansive deserts, and impressive waterfalls, with the diversity of the land ranging from wild, remote areas in southern Patagonia to the bustling city of Buenos Aires. From beach resorts of holy cities, to cool hill stations and high mountain villages, the choice is enormous, whether you want an inexpensive experience, a cultural tour, or a high-priced exclusive holiday.
