Frommer's Argentina & Chile
Chapter One
The Best of Argentina & Chile
Argentina and Chile-separated by the serrated peaks of the Andes Mountains
-combine to blanket the southern half of South America; the distance
from Chile's northern tip to the southern tail of Argentina's Tierra del Fuego
spans almost 4,830km (2,995 miles). And the scope of experiences you can find
here is no less grand: from the cosmopolitan bustle of Buenos Aires to the desolate
moonscape of Chile's Atacama Desert, from the tropical jungles and thunderous
falls of Iguazú to the tundra and glaciers of Torres del Paine National
Park. Whether you've come to meander the quiet towns of Chile's Lake District
or dance the night away in a smoky, low-lit Argentine tango bar, your trip to the
Southern Hemisphere won't disappoint. In this chapter, we've selected the best
that Argentina and Chile have to offer-museums, outdoor adventures, hotels,
and more.
