In the last part of the XIX and beginning of the XX centuries, a deluge of immigrants arrived at her shores, most of who were of European origin, which has resulted in the cosmopolitan spirit shown by the 33 million inhabitants, most of them descendants from these foreigners. The Spanish and Italian communities are the most numerous, but also there are descendants of French, Germans, Polish, Swiss, Japanese and Turks, amongst others.

The official religion is the Apostolic Roman Catholic, but there is a complete freedom of worship, living together in the country members of the Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Moslem and Buddhist faiths, who have built many and beautiful temples corresponding to their respective beliefs. Because of this large territory, Argentina has a complete diversity of climates, from the very warm tropical in the extreme north, to the intensely cold and polar in the extreme south. In the city of Buenos Aires and surroundings, the climate is mild and most agreeable, and permits that a pleasant visit be made at any time of the year.

The Peso is the currency of the country but American dollars and traveler's checks are accepted in general without any difficulty, and other currencies may be freely exchanged in the Banks and Exchange Agencies. Credit Cards best known in the world are of course accepted all over the country. Argentina, even when maintaining her sceneries and nature practically untouched, is a completely modernized country and keeps pace with the last advances in the world. A good aerial and land transport infrastructure exists, as well as a very ample communications network, internal and external, which are available at any moment.

There is an extensive network of hotels covering the country, which give the travelers a wide choice of conveniences and prices, from the rustic mountain shelters to the most sophisticated international deluxe hotels. And above all mention has to be made of the cordiality and hospitality of Argentines, who are always ready to offer a warm welcome to the tourists.
