Argentina is the second largest country in South America and is the largest among Spanish-speaking nations. The secret is out: with its gorgeous landscapes, cosmopolitan cities, and lively culture, Argentina is a traveler's paradise. Nature lovers will revel in the country’s mountain peaks, amazing waterfalls, the lush Lake District with its glorious lakes and white-tipped mountains, and Patagonia’s glacier-carved landscapes and painted Andean deserts. City slickers will adore fabulous Buenos Aires, full of opportunities to learn Spanish, dance the sexy 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 so-called “quintuple crown”: the FIBA World Championship (winning the inaugural edition in 1950), an Olympic gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics, the FIBA Diamond Ball (2008), the continental championship—now known as the FIBA AmeriCup—in 2001, 2011, and 2022, and the Pan American Games gold medal in 1995. Argentina has also won the South American Basketball Championship 12 times, along with numerous youth titles. Notably, the Argentine national team became the first to defeat a United States team composed entirely of NBA players at the 2002 FIBA World Championship and later won Olympic gold in 2004. Thanks to a string of strong performances during the “Golden Generation” era in the 2000s, Argentina reached the number one position in the FIBA Men’s World Ranking at the conclusion of the 2008 Olympic Games. In more recent years, Argentina continued to remain competitive internationally, finishing runner-up at the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup and winning the FIBA AmeriCup in 2022.
Buenos Aires is the capital and largest city in Argentina. It is located on the southern shore of the Río de la Plata on the southeastern coast of the South American continent. Built by Europeans, this vibrant city overflows with energy and brims with attractive residents called porteños (people of the port). The food is fresh and innovative, the shopping ranges from designer labels to street hawkers, and nightlife will keep you swinging all night long.
