ARGENTINA

With almost 3,500 kilometers away from the northern border and the southern end of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina has the wingspan of a State-continent. Its extension, both in the north-south and east-west, gives the country several faces. The variety is certainly one of their distinctive characteristics.

Desafio Litoral will allow to descover one of the most outstanding region of the last times in Argentina, called Litoral Mesopotamico, an area with big rivers of the humid tropics, of the red land and of the forest cover with big trees, with extrordinary fauna and flora. Big Water – Iguazu, in guarany language – where nature overflowing into one of the world’s wonders: Catarata Falls.

One scene of exuberant beauty that extends through the Iguazu National Park, Moconà Saltos, National Park Rio Pilcomayo, National Park El Palmar, Esteros del Ibera or the plains chaqueñas.

The amazing and outstanding nature, where the Jesuitic Ruins of Misiones, declared by UNESCO Humanity Cultural Patrimony, are the live testimony of Compañia de Jesus.
