Argentina expedition overview

Argentina stretches from the tropics to Cape Horn and shares borders with Chile, Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil and Uruguay. The high mountain chain of the Andes runs the length of the country, for 3,500 miles from Bolivia to the South Atlantic, with the low-lying Pampas making up the heartland of Argentina, occupied by cattle stations or estancias.

Argentina is a perfect destination for adventurous teams looking for challenging trekking. The rewarding project phase focuses on either conservation or community efforts and there are some brilliant free time options available including visiting the natural wonder of the Iguaçu Falls, the lively capital city, Buenos Aires and thrilling white water rafting.
