  1. Nice list of place in Argentina. I love to visit Nahuel Huapi National Park, i had a trip last year, that is renowned for its prominent wild life and it is a paradise for sightseers and trekkers. The park is extended upto 2,927 sq miles. You could be able to take glimpses of beautiful lake as the place contains many lakes and locations of the lakes are known as Argentine Lake District. Know more thing when you are Travel America.
