Dear Kim,

Thank you for your question.

Regarding the main attractions, please check the National Tourism Boardīs website at www.turismo.gov.ar
The most important destinations are:
Buenos Aires (capital of the country)
Mendoza (wine region)
Iguazu Falls in Misiones
The glaciers in Calafate, Santa Cruz
Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego
The lake district in Andean Patagonia (Bariloche, Villa La Angostura, San Martin de los Andes)
Puerto Madryn in Chubut
The Northwest region (provinces of Salta and Jujuy)

As far as economy is concerned, the CIA provides useful information on its website: http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/ar.html

Good luck!

Expertise

I was born in Argentina and have lived ever since so I can answer all kinds of questions about my country. I have also visited other countries and that has given me a wider perspective which enables me help foreigners in a better way. I have travelled along Argentina, from the north to the south and have been to almost its 22 provinces. I have also worked for a travel agency in the inbound tourism department. I enjoy being a hostess very much and feel willing to assist foreigners in the best possible way.

Experience

Have travelled a lot along the country. Iīve been in charge of the inbound tourism department at a travel agency. I worked in Japan as a volunteer for a culture exchange organization, giving lectures about Argentina.
