Argentina Trip Planning Advice

[d360]

We are beginning stages of planning a trip to Argentina to capture virtual tours. I would like get some advice to places not the miss. We all know of the Guide Book highlights but what about the places you don't read about? Please share with me your favorites!

One highlight for me is to see the the"stranding beach" The Orcas come here to feed by ambushing the young and inexperienced seals that are born here in January & February. The Orcas' intentional stranding happens only when the sea is relatively calm and during a period of three hours before and after high tide. When these conditions are right, the Orcas will patrol the beach until they see or hear the right sound to launch an attack. .

Many people arrive here from Argentina and around the world to observe the phenomenon. However, these observers stay on top of the cliff some 50 feet higher above the beach and 70 feet away from the shoreline.

The only way to get down to the beach is to be escorted by a local nature guard, or, Gurda Fauna. A permit is required and issued by the local government.

I'm sure there are many more highlights so please help me compile a list.

Thanks,
Dan

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the list I'll do some research on these areas.

I think Richard pretty much covered my Top 10 list. I would add Quebrada de Humahuaca if you're interested in Inca history and a very different landscape. And if I was going to choose just three from the list above, I would say Perito Moreno Glacier, Iguazu Falls, and the Valdes Peninsula.
