El Chaltén

A nineteenth-century covered market in the old quarter with produce, antiques and food counters, busiest on the Sunday fair day.

A high-altitude wine valley an hour south of Mendoza, with vineyards at 1,000 to 1,500 metres directly below the Andes.

Perito Moreno is a 30-kilometre glacier in Los Glaciares National Park with a five-kilometre front standing about 70 metres above the water. Unlike most glaciers it has remained roughly stable, and blocks calve off the face regularly in front of the viewing walkways. Boat trips and guided ice walks put you at water level and on the ice itself.

A glacial lake directly below the Fitz Roy massif, reached by a 20-kilometre return hike with a steep final kilometre.

The Argentine side holds around eighty percent of the falls and puts visitors on catwalks running above, beside and directly over the water, ending at the platform on the lip of the Devil's Throat. A small train links the circuits inside the national park. Coatis and butterflies are everywhere along the trails.

A walled city of mausoleums in marble and granite, including Eva Perón's tomb, laid out along narrow avenues. Opened in 1822, it holds thousands of ornate mausoleums laid out like city streets. The tomb of Eva Perón is one of its best-known graves.
