Guiana Guatemala Guyana Honduras Mexico Nicaragua Panama Paraguay Peru Sth. Georgia Suriname Uruguay Venezuela Around Argentina Argentina is a diverse country with plenty to see and do, even for the most jaded of seen it all travellers. Beaches, giant water falls in tropical rainforests, skiing in the Andes, horseriding on the Pampas, or watching whales and penguins off the tip of Patagonia . All you need in Argentina is time. Travel and Leisure : The Buenos Aires Herald's travel section, covering Argentina and beyond. Virtual Argentina : General information on places of interest around Argentina. Iguaz National Park The area extends on both sides of the River Iguaz and its water falls between Brazil and Argentina. Derived from a Guaran word for great water, the name is Iguau in Portuguese-speaking Brazil. The falls are the centrepiece of the parks. Over 60 m high, the series of falls and cascades stretch for 4 km in the wet season. Visitors can view the base of the falls in Argentina, and the lip in Brazil . The Great Waters Rain Forest : This is the region of the great rivers, of the humid tropics, of the red earth and the magnificent jungle. A virgin jungle full of gigantic trees, and extraordinary flora and fauna. Great Waters, in the Guaran language Iguaz, which overflow with a roar in one of the wonders of the world, the Falls of Iguaz. Pampa Region The Pamas are the vast treeless plains of central Argentina that stretches from the Atlantic coast to the Andes Mountains. The humid Pampa, eastern portion, is one of the most fertile regions in the country. The dry Pampa is the area towards the Andes, a less populated region famous for its horses, and sheep. The name Pampas comes from a Quechua Native American term for flat land or plain. Argentine Ranches : Fancy horseriding on an Argentine estancia? La Pampa -- Land of the Gaucho : La Pampa is a sea of green grass that occupies a quarter of the country. Home of the legendary gaucho, all the romantic fantasies about Argentina are concentrated here. The Andes The great mountain range of the Andes forms the spine of South America. Running almost parallel with the Pacific coast, the Andes stretch for more than 7,000 km -- that's 41/2 thousand miles, from Panama down towards Cape Horn. The highest mountain in the western hemisphere is in the Andes -- Argentina's Aconcagua (6,959 m). South America Touches the Sky : The North-western and the Cuyo are regions of high peaks -- here is the Aconcagua, stone sentinel - snow-capped volcanoes, plateaux, ravines and deserts. Under clear blue sky, small villages let the seasons pass by quietly, only interrupted by the carnivals, Indian markets and the worship of "Pachamama" or Mother Earth who provides maize and the pastures where the llamas and guanacos graze. Mount Aconcagua : The Aconcagua, in the province of Mendoza, is the highest mountain in the Americas. The passes through the Andes are at their highest, steepest, and narrowest in Peru . Arequipa to Puno (4,468 m); Lima to Tarma and Cerro de Pasco (4,804 m). Between Mendoza, Argentina, and Santiago, Chile , the Uspallata Pass, still reaches a staggering 3,900 m. Between Puerto Montt and Bariloche: Crossing the lakes and lower mountain passes of the southern Andes, with a condor flying overhead, beats looking up at hang-gliders in the Alps. Argentina Cities : The major cities in Argentina. Argentinian Patagonia : Patagonia was formerly the name for the southernmost portion of the South American continent, including what is now the southern parts of both Argentina and Chile .

FREE Newsletter. Sign Up Now! Cologne Location:  Cologne is located in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, along the Rhine river between Dusseldorf and Bonn. Founded by Romans, Cologne is one of Germany's oldest cities. Cologne Population:  The fourth largest city in Germany, Cologne has over 1.8 million people. Cologne Tourist Office:  The Tourist Office is located at Unter Fettenhennen 19, just southwest of the train station. It's open 9 am to 10 pm in summer, and 9 am to 9 pm in winter, except for Sundays and public holidays, when it's open 10 am to 6 pm. They will help you make same-day hotel reservations. Phone: +49(0)221-30400. Cologne Airport:  Called the "Köln Bonn Airport" both Cologne and Bonn are served from the airport that sits between the two cities. A taxi ride at the time of writing (see the airport site for current rates) to Central Cologne costs around 25 Euros. The distance is 17 kms and it should take around 15 minutes. There is bus service to the main train station in Cologne every 15 minutes. Cologne Central Station - Köln Hbf:  The huge central train station is one of the key rail hubs in Europe. It is centrally located near pedestrian shopping streets and the Cathedral. For travellers using Germany's excelent rail system, Germany Rail Passes (buy direct) offer discounted travel around Germany and to neighboring countries. Cologne Map:  The Cologne Tourist Office offers a fine, full color tourist map you can download and print on a legal size page. See the box in the upper right for the link. (1.6 mb download) Cologne - When to Go:  Cologne has moderate, mild winters. It seldom snows. Summers can be humid (but seldom blazingly hot). Fall is considered idea; hotels lower prices in September-October and raise them when the carnival season starts on November 11. Cologne - Library and Internet Access:  Free internet access is available at the Cologne Public Library (StadtBibliothek Köln), one of the biggest in Germany. There is a wireless LAN there, as well as international newspapers. Cologne Carnival:  Although carnival season in Cologne starts on November 11, the main event called the "three mad days" is held around easter time (opens the Thursday before the beginning of Lent) and attracts over a million revelers. See our links on the upper right for more. Cologne Attractions:   The Cologne Cathederal - Cologne's Gothic Cathederal is one of its top attractions. It took over 600 years to build and is a UNESCO world heritage site. Conveniently located right next to the train station. In 2000, the Cathederal treasures were placed in a historic vaulted chamber so folks could view them easier. If you can climb 509 steps you'll get a good view of Cologne on the observation platform. Open 6am to 7:30 pm for viewing, except during mass. Bring a wide-angle lens if you want to get it all in the picture, or you'll end up with an impressionistic shot like this picture of the Cologne Cathederal and its soaring spires. Rhine Boat Trips - lots of day trips and longer excursions are available. Ask at the tourist office. Visit the house of 4711, the Original Eau-de-Cologne - Wilhelm Mulhens marketed a concoction called Aqua Mirabilis on the basis of its stimulating and refreshing effect (splash it on or drink it, it didn't matter). It later got to be know as the first Eau de Cologne when French Revolutionary troops sent it home for gifts to the family. Glockengasse, in the city centre between the cathedral and Neumarkt, opposite the opera house. Have a brew and a bite to eat in the Altstadt (old town) - Cologne is definately a beer city with their own beer styly called Kölcsh, a pale top fermented beer that must be brewed in the Cologne metoopolitan area. While most of the breweries in the city center are gone, you can still enjoy a beer with other tourists at a pub in the Altstadt. Visit the Roman-German Museum (Romisch-Germanisches Museum) - See Roman antiquities from the first through fourth centuries--and the 230 foot long mosaic showing Dionysus, the Roman god of wine. Highly recommended. Cologne Pictures Take a virtual tour with our Cologne Germany Pictures . Around Cologne Strasbourg and Colmar , France, and Baden-Baden are interesting nearby destinations. A fast drive around the Nurburgring should get your blood flowing nicely.        Topic Index | Email to a Friend Our Story | Be a Guide | Advertising Info | Work at About | Site Map | Icons | Help User Agreement | Ethics Policy | Patent Info. | Privacy Policy | Kids' Privacy Policy ©2005 About, Inc., A part of the New York Times Company .
