Tango, gauchos, Pampa, Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego, Ushuaia, Maradona, Eva Perón, Fangio, Borges ... So many evocative names of Argentina. The name Argentina comes from the Latin argentum, meaning "silver", plata in Spanish. At the time of the conquest, the use of the name was extended to designate an area at the mouth of the river discovered by Solis, later called Rio de la Plata because of the proliferation of silver objects offered by indigenous to the conquistadores.
When following the finger on a world map the contours of Argentina, we already feel and taste the magic of adventure invade. From the Andes to the Iguazu Falls, passing on the steppes of Patagonia and the Atlantic coast, while Argentina has a theatrical dimension. Early explorers to modern tourists, to the adventurous, all made on the land side of the world ... the ultimate journey of confrontation with the land and the spirit of Latin America. No wonder the tango was born there.
