The Rough Guide to Argentina (2nd ed.)

The second edition of the Rough Guide to Argentina explores the country in its entirety, from cosmopolitan Buenos Aires to the spectacular Rio de la Plata and Iguazu Falls in the north and remote Ushaia in the far south.

The Rough Guide also includes areas often visited on short trips from Argentina - Tierra del Fuego, Chilean Patagonia and Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay.

The Rough Guide includes a 24-page full-colour introduction to the country's highlights, hand-picked by the authors.

As well as all the first-hand reviews of the best places to stay, eat, drink and party in every town and province, there is detailed advice on the many outdoor activities available - from horseback treks to white-water rafting to heli-skiing.

Throughout the guide there are also insightful boxes on Argentinian culture, including the birth of tango, the rise of Peron and the religion of football.
