Argentina's romantic register is tango, Patagonia, and wine country in three completely different and equally rewarding versions. A Buenos Aires milonga — the working tango salon where the abrazo is real and the dancers are not performing for tourists — is the most specific urban romantic experience in South America, and learning the basics for an evening session is an increasingly accessible option. The El Calafate Perito Moreno Glacier — where ice calves into turquoise lake water in thundering explosions at irregular intervals while visitors watch from the walkway — is a natural spectacle of unusual drama. The Mendoza wine country horseback ride through Malbec vineyards above the Andes, combined with an asado at a family bodega, provides the pastoral Argentine register. A Patagonian wind-and-silence overnight at a Torres del Paine tented camp completes the circuit. No rush.
