Argentina is known for its tango, its world-class beef and asados (barbecues), its passion for football (soccer) and polo, and iconic natural wonders like Iguazu Falls and the Andes Mountains. The country is also famous for its Malbec wine, sweet treats like dulce de leche and alfajores, and the distinctive personality of its people.  

In January, Argentina experiences its warmest, peak-summer weather, leading to long, sunny days perfect for visiting Patagonia's glaciers, while Buenos Aires can be hot and humid, a good time for Gualeguaychu Carnival, and the holiday season continues with Three Kings Day on January 6, where children leave out shoes for gifts.
