Adventure Tourism In The Argentine

By Andre Ferlo


Unusual situations and exciting experiences drive adrenalin and boost confidence in achieving against risk or danger. Even though the risk may be slight the rewards produce high levels of satisfaction and enhanced confidence. In Argentina adventure tours achieve this against some of the most breathtaking scenery to be found. Adventures enhance happiness and confidence in people.

Most people equate adventures to excitement and adrenalin surging through veins. With visions of mountain biking over rugged peaks, horse trekking in the hills and jungles, hang gliding, skiing or perhaps even bungee jumping. These pursuits are welcomed by active younger travelers who want to feel heart pounding adrenalin and perhaps a little chance of risk.

Today people tend to work harder and when on holiday the desire to pit oneself against the odds has lead to the growth in adventure travel. It is perhaps being on the edge that provides different insights into life. Meeting the exotic, and encountering the unusual is perhaps the kernel that drives people into adventures. Tasting a different cultural, perhaps feeling a little vulnerable, and soaking in the differences an Argentina experience can offer is satisfying.

Adventure travel covers the extreme outdoor rushes of snow boarding, white water rafting, exploring rough terrain, right through to cultural diversions through local arts, crafts and history. In effect exploring the differences between where you are and where you live. Adventure is as much about challenging ones opinions and beliefs as providing challenges with physical risk.

Argentina is a land of contrast that ranges from the modern to the medieval, snow covered mountains through large grasslands to the sea. Climate ranges from temperate to sub tropical that enables comfortable exploration to happen. Vibrant culture, friendly people and a color that is rarely seen outside of South America makes Argentina a popular adventure destination. The travel industry appeals to peoples dreams for spice and color in their lives, and delivers on that promise.

Long after the vacation is done, the stories to be told to family and friends, and the reminiscing about the journey can provide pleasure for many years to come. Experiences that are different, more radical and with perhaps a tinge of danger provide those defining moments that make living worthwhile and challenge the ordered existence most of us live the rest of the year. It is the breaking out and flexing the muscles that adventuring offers as the ultimate reward.

In Argentina, adventure tours combine great experiences with high quality lodgings and food. Vibrant local culture and activities that stimulate passion for excitement blend to create unequaled holiday experiences. History soaks through the seams and colors the enjoyment of treading the same paths as the Conquistadors, or standing on the top of an ancient temple where sacrifices were made. Breathing in the history while capturing present day scenery adds a dimension to the overall ambiance.

More hardy adventurers can organize their own holiday schedule and rough it with the best of them, or packaged Argentina adventure tours that can be customized are available for travelers wanting a flowing trouble free experience. Options can range from themed adventures such as mountain sports, water or overland adventures, photographic safaris into wild and exotic realms, trekking, cycle tours or an amazing cultural experience.
