Sure, there are the natural splendors of the glaciers in the south and Iguazu Falls in the north. Buenos Aires definitely beckons with her joie de vivre, impromptu tango street demonstrations, and what might just be the best clubbing scene in the world. <p>But Mendoza--sprawling, dusty Mendoza--nestled in the eastern foothills of the towering Andes, is still my favorite.
