Argentina is an enormous country, eighth largest in the world, and second only to Brazil in terms of size and population in South America. The country is surrounded by Chile to the west, and Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil, Bolivia, and the South Atlantic to the north and to the east. Argentina also shares the offshore island territory of Tierra del Fuego with Chile, and continues to dispute the ownership of the Islas Malvinas (known as the Falkland Islands to the British). In the early 1980's this dispute led to the short-lived Falklands War.

For those people interested in skiing, Argentina offers some of the best skiing in the world. Some resorts worth a visit are Bariloche and Las Leñas. Due to the elevation of these and other resorts in the Andes, the snow is light and powdery, truly a skiers dream! Remember, the seasons in Argentina are reversed from those in the northern hemisphere, so plan accordingly.
