Train in argentina
Argentina is the second largest country in South America (after Brazil) and has all the diversity that it suggests. There is almost no earthly climate or terrain that isn't contained in its borders. Traveling with your kids in Argentina, you can lounge on warm ocean beaches, ride a train to the end of the world, ski or hike in the Andes, visit one of the wonders of the world, Iguazu Falls, or watch enormous ice blocks drop into the Arctic Ocean at the tip of Patagonia.
