Trekking-Guide Argentinien

Argentina is one of the most important holiday destinations in South America for Europeans. The country is safe, well-developed, and since the currency reform of 2002, also affordable. In recent years, there has been rapid growth in the tourism sector. A large portion of visitors comes to the country for its stunning nature. Hiking and mountaineering in the over 3,000 kilometers of the Argentine Andes are among the most popular tourist activities. The mountainous regions of Patagonia, with their vertical granite towers like Cerro Torre and Cerro Fitz Roy, as well as the Central Andes with the highest mountain in the Americas, Aconcagua (6960 m), are famous. In contrast, the fantastic worlds of the Puna, the Quebradas, and the Yungas in northern Argentina remain largely unknown in Europe. The book describes the major trekking routes in Argentina and suggests rewarding tours in lesser-known regions.
