A desert can be a truly awe inspiring and life altering travel experience - nothing can beat the serenity of a night in the desert under the stars. Get away from it all into a sea of shifting dunes and moon-like rock formations - as well as evidence of long-dead civilisations - perhaps to find aspects of yourself that you didn't know existed? Everybody should experience a desert in this way at least once.

In 1816, the United Provinces of the Rio Plata declared their independence from Spain. After Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay went their separate ways, the area that remained became Argentina.

These days, it's a bustling country with much to recommend it. Which of these Argentinian locations do you like the best?
