Pros: great people, diverse possibilities of places and climates
Cons: dirty streets, rough roads
The Bottom Line: More than anything, I'd encourage people to dive into the culture and the people, meanwhile taking in beautiful sights along the way.

| manky's Full Review: Argentina |
With a country as large and diverse as Argentina, there is somewhere for everyone and every taste around. The northern areas have a much warmer temperatures and influences from surrounding countries' cultures (Brasil, Bolivia, etc.) The southern parts of the county spare a colder atmosphere, especially in the winter, with great ski areas, naturistic voyages and more. You can also find major city life in the center of the country mostly in the Capital (Buenos Aires) but also in places such as Córdoba.
Beautiful beaches like Mar del Plata, and many more hidden from usual tourist types, line the coast of Argentina. Offering sun, sand, and semi-warm waters (depending on the time of year). These beaches are a center point in the summer months, many locals travel to them and celebrate their summer.
Argentina's night life doesn't start until late (1am at the earliest) and goes all night. Almost every city and town, big or small, has at least one discoteque where you can dance all night. Bariloche in particular has a huge student night life, and many disoteques. Most schools take their graduation trips to Bariloche and the students go out every night. Discoteques geared towards older crowds can also be found by asking locals.
Argentina's biggest plus is the people... they are warm and friendly. Very family and fun oriented. If the chance were to arise to be able to participate in more local activities, such as a backyard (or even club) asado... you should jump at such an opportunity. It is in such circumstances that you will discover the real Argentina rarely experienced by most tourists.
