Argentina is a vibrant and diverse country; the second largest country in South America and the eighth largest in the world. The capital city is one of the most cosmopolitan and friendly cities you will come across; with a fantastic selection of restaurants and bars, all of which are exceptionally good value for money. Elsewhere there are the increasingly popular wine producing regions; world class ski resorts; exclusive golf and country clubs; Patagonia's breathtaking Lake District and the awe inspiring glaciers at the Southern tip of the continent. The quality of life in Argentina is incredibly high.

Most Argentines are of European origin, and although foreign tourist numbers are greatly increasing, it is the Argentines themselves that are driving the local property and tourism boom, with many buying second homes in country clubs, or making weekend trips to the ski resorts and beaches.

Argentina benefits from rich natural resources, a highly literate population, an export-oriented agricultural sector, and a diversified industrial base.
