Outdoor Destinations in Argentina


A radiation oncologist in Dallas, TX, Dr. Rajiv Dahiya treats patients at Premier Cancer Centers. In his free time, Rajiv Dahiya, MD, travels extensively and has been to a range of countries in Europe and South America, including Argentina.

In addition to its vibrant cities, Argentina offers several destinations for those seeking outdoor beauty. Below are just a few:

- Perito Moreno. Located in Los Glacieres National Park, Perito Moreno is a 60-foot glacier and the main attraction in the park. Visitors take a boat past four glaciers before getting to Perito Moreno, where they might get to witness the spectacular sight of large chunks of ice falling into the water.

- Puerto Madryn. A popular place to visit in the summer, Puerto Madryn offers not only beautiful beaches but also opportunities to go whale watching. While visitors can take whale-watching tours by boat, during the winter months (July through September in Argentina), the whales are visible from land.

- Iguazu Falls. Iguazu Falls consist of several waterfalls surrounded by lush, green forest on the border of Brazil and Argentina. Visitors can enjoy the scenery on multiple walkways or take a boat that gets them close enough to the falls to feel the spray of the water.
