What are must-visit destinations for the first time trip to Argentina? [closed]

December is summer time in Argentina. So I do not recommend you to try "winter stuff". Buenos Aires is Argentina's capital. You must go to a Tango show (some requires you to book in advance). You also must eat a typical barbecue (if you are not vegetarian). I love everything they do with milk and also their wines are very good (Malbec is the better grape). They have been considered as "small Europe in South America", and you should visit places like Caminito in Buenos Aires.

You should also visit Patagonia, maybe with a small boat trip to explore the views.

You can also try the Andine Lakes, between Argentina and Chile. In this case, I recommend you to start in one country and return home by the other.

You don't mention what kind of trips you like, but if you like nature I would highly recommend Patagonia--specifically El Calafate and Ushuaia. December is a good season to go.

Distances inn Argentina are large--even if you're not going all the way to Patagonia. Bus service is excellent with luxury buses, reclining seats and meal service. Plane flights are also available, but can be expensive. I would only recommend a rental car for local trips once you've reached your final destination.

In addition to the above answers you should visit the burial place of Eva Peron -"Evita", first Lady of Argentina at El Cementerio de los Relojes.

The Sunday Fair in Mataderos is well worth a visit. Its quite a way out but for those who are interested in rural Argentina & Gauchos it makes a nice outing. (Don't forget to try Asado if you have the opportunity, a Gaucho Barbecue of giant proportions - hope you are not vegetarian)
