Argentina's Best Attractions
A glacier that calves house-sized icebergs, a waterfall system that dwarfs Niagara, and a cemetery that's somehow a top-visited site — what's actually worth it.
The three that justify the flight on their own: the Perito Moreno Glacier near El Calafate (a 3-mile-wide wall of ice you watch calve into a lake from a network of boardwalks), Iguazu Falls (a 1.7-mile arc of 275 waterfalls, shared with Brazil, with the Argentine side giving you the up-close walkways), and Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires (an open-air museum of elaborate mausoleums, including Eva Perón's grave). Entry runs $20–30 per site; all three are best visited with at least half a day, not a rushed stop.
Argentina's headline attractions aren't manufactured tourist traps — a glacier, a waterfall system, and a cemetery all genuinely earn their reputations, which is rare. Here's what to actually expect, current entry prices in USD, and how much time to actually give each one.
