Tourism in Argentina |
Littoral |
It is the region of Argentina where nature reveals itself in its most exuberant form. In an imposing setting formed by immense trees that arise from a red land and its extraordinary flora and fauna, large rivers make their way slowly among the virgin forest until they overflow forming one of the wonders of the world, the magnificent “Cataratas de Iguazu” (the Iguazú Falls). It is a wild land of subtropical forests and extensive swamps where alligators, jaguars and all kinds of exotic birds hide. |
