Argentina is the second-largest country in South America and the largest among Spanish-speaking nations. The secret is out: with its gorgeous landscapes, amazing cities, and lively culture, Argentina is a traveler's paradise. Nature lovers will revel in the country's mountain peaks, stunning waterfalls, and the scenery of the lush Lake District—with its glorious lakes and snow-capped mountains—as well as Patagonia's glacier-carved landscapes and painted Andean deserts. City slickers will adore fabulous Buenos Aires, full of opportunities to learn Spanish, dance the tango, and interact with dynamic and beautiful porteños (Buenos Aires locals).
Argentina also has an impressive history in international basketball. It is the only national team in the FIBA Americas zone to have won the quintuple crown: the FIBA World Championship (they won the first edition in 1950), Olympic Gold Medal (2004), FIBA Diamond Ball (2008), FIBA Americas Championship (2001 and 2011), and Pan American Gold Medal (1995). Argentina has also won the South American Basketball Championship 12 times, along with numerous youth championships. Notably, the Argentine basketball team was the first to defeat a United States national team composed entirely of NBA players. Thanks to a string of strong performances since the early 2000s, Argentina reached the number one position in the FIBA Men’s Ranking at the conclusion of the 2008 Olympic Games.
Buenos Aires, the capital and largest city of Argentina, is located on the southern shore of the Río de la Plata, along the southeastern coast of the South American continent. Built by Europeans, this vibrant city overflows with energy and is home to attractive residents known as porteños (people of the port). The food is fresh and innovative, the shopping ranges from designer labels to street vendors, and the nightlife will keep you entertained throughout your basketball tour.
