This otherworldly oasis in the world's driest non-polar desert offers landscapes so alien they've been used to test Mars rovers. The small adobe town serves as a gateway to spectacular natural wonders: multicolored salt flats where flamingos feed, geothermal fields with steaming geysers, and rust-colored valleys that evoke lunar terrain.

The town itself delights visitors with its Swiss-influenced architecture, artisanal chocolate shops, and breweries, earning it the nickname 'Little Switzerland' of Argentina.

Guidelines for Cultural Awareness

  • Greetings in both countries typically involve a kiss on one cheek, even between new acquaintances. Men typically shake hands, but women and men exchange cheek kisses. Follow the locals' lead.
  • Dinner in Chile and Argentina starts extremely late by North American and European standards—usually not before 9 PM, with restaurants often not filling up until after 10 PM.
  • When invited to an Argentine home, bringing wine is appreciated, but don't be surprised if it isn't opened—hosts often have the meal planned with specific pairings. Flowers or desserts make good alternatives.
  • In Chile, particularly in business settings, punctuality is expected and appreciated. In Argentina, being 15-30 minutes late for social gatherings is common and sometimes expected.
  • Mate (a traditional herbal tea) is a social ritual in Argentina. If offered, understand that refusing can seem rude. The same gourd and straw are passed around; drink all the liquid before passing it back to the server.

Suggestions for Evening Activities

  • Experience an authentic tango show at Café Tortoni in Buenos Aires, Argentina's oldest café, where you can enjoy dinner while watching professional dancers perform this passionate national dance.
  • Visit La Chascona in Santiago, Chile—the former home of poet Pablo Neruda—which offers evening tours followed by wine tastings featuring Chilean varieties on select nights.
  • Enjoy the vibrant nightlife in Palermo Soho, Buenos Aires, where trendy speakeasy bars like Florería Atlántico (hidden beneath a flower shop) serve creative cocktails until the early morning hours.
  • Take a twilight horseback ride with gauchos in the Andean foothills outside Mendoza, Argentina, concluding with an asado (traditional barbecue) under the stars with local Malbec wine.
  • Join an astronomy tour in the Elqui Valley, Chile, where world-class observatories take advantage of the exceptionally clear skies to offer guided stargazing experiences with powerful telescopes.
