Esteros del Iberá, Argentina
"Argentina’s biggest unsung attraction, Esteros del Iberá is a breathtaking wetland--while it may lack the total biomass of Africa’s famous plain, the variety of species and the sheer numbers of birds, mammals and reptiles is still awesome."

Gualeguaychú
"Entre Ríos’s biggest party town, the riverside city of Gualeguaychú, hosts one of Argentina’s top Carnaval celebrations—not quite Rio, but well worth seeing if you’re in Buenos Aires instead of Brazil. Dating from 1783, it has a smattering of colonial constructions, but is most popular with Argentines for access to its namesake river."

Las Canas and Gualeguaychu
"Well, I’ll confess that I only came to Gualeguaychu because the name was so incredibly dope, but the town has really grown on me. It’s charming and laid back, has a nice river and at one in the afternoon the streets are completely deserted."

Parque Nacional Chaco
"West of Resistencia, but not quite to the “Impenetrable” of the mid-Chaco, Parque Nacional Chaco is a serene, little-visited haven of dense forest and scattered, bird-rich wetlands. Most but not all of the park avoided deforestation during the heyday of the tannin trade; some parts are recuperating."
