Ferdinand Magellan stumbled upon this land off the shores of South America. Accounts of what he saw vary: giant, dancing natives or just very large footprints in the sand. It inspired the name Patagonia - the land of the big feet. From the towering mountains of Torres del Paine, across the alkaline basin of the arid steppes, to the sandy shores of the Atlantic coast, filmmaker Jeff Foott captures this alluring realm of wild extremes and bizarre creatures. It is on this magnificent Eden that elephant seals battle with terrific force to win a mate, where giant condors soar on swift currents, where killer whales command the Sea of Valdez and where penguins convene in the thousands.

Cuisine - Argentine recipes

Argentine cuisine is influenced by waves of European immigration, particularly from Italy. Argentina is known for its beef, and many meals are based on substantial amounts of carne.

 Cuisine of Argentina 
Argentines are famous for their high protein diet, particularly beef. Grilled meat (parrillada) from the asado is a staple, with steak and beef ribs especially common. Chorizo, morcilla, chinchulines, mollejas, mondongo and other parts of the animal are enjoyed...

History of Argentina

Independence: 9 July 1816 (from Spain)

The area now known as Argentina was relatively sparsely populated until the period of European colonization . The Diaguita of northwestern Argentina lived on the edges of the expanding Tahuantinsuyu (aka Inca Empire); the Guaraní lived farther east.

Music, Art & Culture, Events & Entertainment

 Culture of Argentina
The Europeans heavily influence Argentine culture in various areas. Art, literature, architecture, music and lifestyle have all been affected greatly...
The best-known element of Argentine culture is probably their music and dance, particularly the Tango. In modern Argentina, tango music is enjoyed in its own right, especially since the radical Astor Piazzolla redefined the music of Carlos Gardel. Folk music and dance are popular in provincial Argentina, whether of European folk-style like Basque or Welsh dance, or a blend of European and pre-Columbian style. An example of the latter is the Chamamé of Misiones...

Tango: The Art History of Love - Robert Farris Thompson
A definitive study of tango in all its manifestations from the author of the classic Flash of the Spirit. Beginning with Carlos Gardel, the Argentine genius considered to have invented tango in 1917, through to Hollywood's current representations of the dance, Thompson approaches his subject from all conceivable angles. Passionately argued, unequalled in its research, synthesis and depth and written with a revelatory clarity, Tango is a monumental and hugely fulfilling achievement.
