Argentina is a country where beauty lurks between its contrasts, where the bland, almost nude landscapes in one cardinal direction are vivid with textures, heights and mystique escaping through the earth’s crust, and another explodes with rainforests and sweeping grasslands. To the south, Argentina stretches and thins into Patagonia, a vast and dreamlike amphitheatre of nature going off script, where glaciers groan, winds batter against bulky mountain forms, and silence stirs the soul. To the north lies Mendoza, a haven of vineyards and ochre hills, where some of the world’s best Malbec wines are produced and many come to enjoy an escape centred around Argentina’s unique viticulture. It’s also home to the tallest mountain outside of Asia, Aconcagua, standing at 6,961 metres, a beacon for those seeking to take their mountaineering endeavours to the next level.
