I would totally visit Ushuaia... it is such a unique place.... make sure you take a couple sweaters... eventhough is the summer time it is still cold!
Also, I would visit Punta del Este in Uruguay... out of this world beach resort... very European.. night life etc. (just a short 30 minute air ride from BA)
happy travels!!!!!

Dear Jo,
It's difficult to answer your question.. since you don't say how long you will be going for (Argentina is a BIG country), what your budget is like (means of travel) and what kind of things YOU like.. (nature, hiking, partying, shopping..).
I've been in Argentina and Chile for five months last year and am soon going back for (at least) another four! And there is still so much more to see and do out there..
Maybe you could get a good travel-guidebook like Lonely Planet, Footprint or Rough Guide to get a good idea of all the different options you have..
Also Brazil, Chile and Uruguay are just a hop away..
If you like to meet and/or stay at local people you could look at www.couchsurfing.com
There are also many Argentinians who might have great tips for you..
Good luck and enjoy your trip!
One personal advice: be flexible in your planning, nothing is worse that having to leave when you're having fun or being stuck somewhere for a week waiting for your flight, while you're super bored.

So, you haven't done it yet? What are you waiting for?
If your traveling in the summer (winter in the US), go to Mar del Plata, which has beautiful beaches and great night life (whether you're young or old) and go all the way down to Patagonia , the closest you'll get to Antarctica. If traveling during winter (summer in the US) you have to go to Bariloche for some nice snow-skiing.
During any season, you have to go to Buenos Aires and enjoy its very European lifestyle. There are good theaters, tango shows, the shopping is great and the exchange if very favorable for most tourists (can't return without buying fine leather goods) and of course, the food! The food is to die for and very cheap. Great beef if you love meat. Great choices if you're vegetarian. Don't miss the grilled Provoletta. A big meal including appetizer, nice steak entree, dessert, wine or beer in a restaurant doesn't go for more than $ 18 per person. Get ready some weeks before you leave and try to loose the pounds you're going to gain down there.
So, don't even think about and go. You won't regret it!

Assuming you're making plans your holiday to Mendoza because of the fact of it being the wine producing area of Argentina, you would be very much appreciative of this area. it is totally like the Napa Valley in California as you will see from the vineyards and how they are laid out. Many small wineries dot the geographical area the place you would be able to offer up and enjoy a type of their vintners. additionally, you are able to take excitement in a sumptous lunch at some wineries in case you intend forward. Many excursions are attainable at useful fees. Argentina is transforming into to be a worldwide chief in production of impressive wines and you'd be pleasantly shocked at their useful fees. i'm from the Napa Valley and spend important time in Mendoza because of the fact it jogs my memory of domicile.

Basically, i think gerfly is right. Argentina (i am Argentinian) is a large and wide country. Considering that you are going to the NW of the country, i'll sugest Cordoba

Iguazu Falls in the north, it's breathtaking, rainforest, very tropical.
Ushuaia( the southernmost city in the world) and Perito Moreno Glacier in the south.

When you hit BA, hop in a cab and ask to be taken to "Avenida Florida".... shop shop shop till you drop (don't forget to pick up some leather and rhodochrosite for me - i'll send you my address shortly).
If you can handle some rustic travel, see what travel agencies are offering for Patagonia.
