Map & Location

Home of the tango, yerba mate, and Gaucho culture, Argentina is the eighth largest country in the world. From Andean peaks to Patagonian glaciers and incredible waterfalls, you’ll never run out of stunning sights and places to explore.

While Spanish is the official language, there is a strong Italian influence, reflecting its European heritage. Considered one of the safest counties in Latin America, Argentina offers adventure in abundance.

Puerto Madryn

Puerto Madryn is a picturesque, coastal city with about 100,000 residents in northern Patagonia, originally founded by Welsh immigrants. Our wildlife refuge is located an hour and a half north of the city.

It is famous for its beautiful waterfront, penguin population, and Southern Right Whale sightings. You might even see orcas breaching the waves to feed on seals! It has a cold desert climate, resulting in comfortable temperatures year-round and very little rainfall.

Cordoba

Cordoba, Argentina’s second-largest city, sits in the foothills of the Sierras Chicas mountains. This historic city blends Spanish colonial architecture with a youthful energy and is home to the oldest university in Argentina.

It is filled with busy bars, cafes, and restaurants that fuel its nightlife and it’s a popular choice for live music. With a pleasant climate, a flourishing arts scene, and access to both mountains and the plains, Cordoba has something for everyone.
