The pathways to the countries highlights can easily be covered by bus, with direct destinations and frequent buses.

In Argentina you will find the most diverse landscapes and climate, as well as an interesting multicultural heritage. Traveling by bus you can cover the country from north to south and east to west visiting many worthwhile destinations:
The Northwest boasts subtropical jungles, salt flats, multicolored mountains and remains of pre-Columbian cultures. Patagonia possesses the greatness of the Andes with its lakes, glaciers and forests, plus beaches, wildlife, fishing and a coastline full of dramatic cliffs. In the Litoral (northeast), the highlights are the Iguazu Waterfalls and the Jesuit Ruins. In the Center, the sierras stand proud, while in Cuyo you will find the Valley of the Moon, wineries, adventure tourism and Aconcagua, the tallest mountain in the Southern hemisphere. In Buenos Aires, where many begin or end the trip, you will find an intense metropolitan city which seems to urge backpackers to stay a while.
Every travel diary of a backpacker in Argentina should have entries commenting about feasts of meat and wine, about having shared a mate (traditional drink) or at least accounts about attempting Tango into the early hours.
