Argentina?

During our research to find a country to visit during the month of January, we have turned our attention to South America, specifically to Argentina, Ecuador, and Chile.  All three are rated by the U.S. State Department as being very safe, as safe in fact as the U.S., Ireland, and Australia.  Additionally, all three countries speak Spanish, a requirement from Stacey as she also speaks Spanish.  All have a diverse topography like North America with beautiful beaches, mountains, and plains.  All have a rich culture to explore and learn about.  And all seem exciting as we've never visited South America.

After doing some research, however, I'm beginning to lean towards Argentina.  I've learned that Argentina is home to some great beef, and great wine - two of my favorites.  Also, Stacey and I like to dance and the tango is supposed to be popular there.  And did I mention that they have great wing shooting in Argentina?  Yes, that may be swaying me just a bit as I grew up hunting quail, dove, pheasant and grouse with my Dad and Brother.

We have yet to make our decision on which country.  And if we did choose Argentina, we would have lots of planning to do as the country is large.  Given 30 days, I would want to see a bit of everything from the beaches to the mountains and the farmland in between.

More to come but we are open to suggestions if anyone has been there.
