Reasons to Visit Argentina

Argentina is the second largest country in South America, known for things like: tango, wine, BBQ, superb natural landscape, football and glaciers. Needles to say that there are many highlights of Argentina and even more reasons to visit the country.

People travel to soak up new cultures, enjoy new traditions, visit museums, historical sites, learn to cook and for many other reasons. It’s definitely a good idea to invest in some tango lessons when you visit Argentina but don’t be shy and plan to see the glaciers as well.

Some people travel to see the world’s coolest train stations . If your bucket list includes buildings such as the Central station in Antwerp (Belgium), the Kuala Lumpur Railway Station in Malaysia and even St. Pancras/King’s Cross station in London, then make sure to also see Cascada de la Macarena station in Patagonia (Argentina).

It is located close to the “end of the world”, or 8 km from Ushuaia and is the final station on the world’s southernmost railway line. Once it served a prison, now it’s used only for tourism.

But regardless of why you travel, being comfortable on the road is the most important thing. After eleven hours in the train, somewhere in Central-Eastern Europe, I sure wished I had one of the best travel neck pillows . Those darn train seats were horrible and couldn’t close my eyes during the night. Likewise, if you fly and want to get some shut eye, the neck pillow is a gift sent from heaven.
