If you are looking for a place to organize sports events, the city of Necochea –located in the Atlantic Coast 328 miles away from Buenos Aires— has a long coastline with 44 miles of beaches, a Sports Stadium with capacity for 3000 people and a hall with a seating capacity of 200. Thousands of tourists visit Necochea and practice sports fishing in Quequén Grande River, in the lakes or in the coast; they also go on photo safaris and practice rafting, kayaking and destination for business tourism.

The biggest coastal city within the province of Buenos Aires has what it takes to attract visitors during the entire year, but there is no doubt that summer is the best season for Mar del Plata due to its 29 miles of beaches.

You can surf, skydive, fish, play golf or tenis, or practice riskier activities such as parachuting, BMX, sandboard, and off-road adventures.

Mar del Plata is only 250 miles away from Buenos Aires and it offers ideal options to get there using the highway, but you can also travel by plane in a 40-minutes flight.

A total of 150.000 people have attended the 200 meeting events that Mar del Plata hosts every year.

Santa Fe Santa Fe, capital of the city named likewise, is located in the Pampa plains bordered by fabulous streams, lakes, and plentiful rivers that constitute the largest fluvial system in South America due to its size.

Santa Fe, the so-called “City of Conventions” shows its lovely colonial-style buildings and modern constructions.

It has high performance centers, a car racing track street circuit, places for aquatic sports competitions –a unique option in South America— exhibition halls, theaters, squares with amphitheaters for open-air music shows and fabulous river-view halls.

In Esperanza, 17 miles away from the city, the C.I.C.A.E. exhibition hall was built on an impressive 132ft building.

It has three entrances and it is surrounded by a big green area: the ideal place to organize important events.

Rosario, great economic and commercial center of Santa Fe, has a total of 25000 square meters in halls and hotels ideal for holding meetings, congresses and conventions.

Among these we can find the Centro de Convenciones de la Bolsa de Comercio (Stock Exchange Convention Center) and the Centro de Convenciones Juan Domingo Perón –former Patio de la Madera— (Juan Domingo Perón Convention Center).

Another option is the Casino City Center, the biggest place for meetings and entertainment in Latin America.

Cities like Salta, supported by its human quality and achieved positioning as a tourist destination thanks to consistent PR activities, has appropiate rooms for different groups because there is an important Convention Center for at least 2.500 persons and the possibility to manage many options at its wide space. It is one of the biggest and most modern centers in Northeast Argentina. The biggest room can be divided in two or three, what allows to organize simultaneous meetings. To this infrastructure must be added the Centro CĂ­vico Grand Bourg; the Cine Teatro Victoria; the Teatro de la Ciudad; the Club 20 de Febrero and Casa de la Cultura (Culture house).

TucumĂĄn city concentrate the meeting and conventions center capacity in many Hotels with rooms that adapt to these kind of meetings, with available facilities. The Centro Cultural Eugenio Flavio Virla has a very big auditorium , two conference rooms, and five exhibition rooms; and the Sociedad Rural with its fairs and exhibition ground must be emphasized in this historical city.

The province of Catamarca did successfully began to work in this segment, which is developping rapidly due

In La Rioja the hotel infrastructure allows to organize middle size meetings, but with all available services.

Jujuy improved significantly in the Business Tourism segment. There are available at least four touristic ressorts where little and bigger meetings can be done and meet the necessary professional standards: San Salvador de Jujuy; Purmamarca; Tilcara and Huacalera.

No doubt, Santiago del Estero did gain market share in the meetings segment since the opening of FORUM, a unique space that recovered the value of one of the most notable historical buildings of the city: the old train station Ferrocarriles Mitre, combining it with the modern and adapting the newest technology.

The main sector is located where the old platforms and tracks were and replaced by a new metal Framework with large spans. It is a wide space flexible and functional for every need, for at minimum 3.000 people in more than 4.000 m2 that with flexible and hinged panels imported from Italy, allows to have one, two or four individual rooms. The Amerian Hotel Casino Carlos V in Termas de RĂ­o Hondo has an important convention center.

grams can last for a weekend, a week, or a month with prac-

tagonia. Species fished in National Parks must be put back

tice sessions. Players and companions stay in the same farm

in the water. Fishing season is in southern summer.

The provinces of Buenos Aires, Santa Fé, Entre Ríos and Corrientes have a wide variety of freshwater fish such as the Sand Smelt (fall and winter) and the goldfish -Doradoand the surubí (large freshwater catfish), specially in Esquina and Paso de la Patria in Corrientes (spring and summer).

In the big rivers of Salta, Jujuy, Catamarca, Santiago del Estero, Tucumán and La Rioja you can fish surubíes, goldfish, catfish, bogue fish, etc.

In the Atlantic Coast you can fish the most popular species such as the blonde and the black sea bass, the sand smelt and the saurel fish. If you fish on a boat you get: lemon fish, jewfish, sea salmon, blue fish, codling, róbalo (a variety of sea bass) and shark. The most varied and good-sized fish are found during summer –sea fishing is allowed throughout the whole year.

Rafting Mountain Rivers are the proper scenario for rafting.

The most popular rivers for this are the Manso River in Bariloche, the Mendoza River, the Corcovado River in Chubut, the Aluminé River in Neuquén with the most fast-flowing rivers in Patagonia. In the North you will find Juramento River in Salta and Jáchal River in San Juan where there is a scheduled river descent during full-moon nights.

Winter Sports The Andes Mountains is where all winter sports are practiced. The city of Bariloche, located between magic natural

landscapes, has the earliest and largest ski center in Argentina: the Cerro Catedral (Río Negro).

Among the most important ski centers we can also mention Valle de las Leñas (Mendoza), the Chapelco hills in San Martín de Los Andes (Neuquén), or the southernmost center in the world: the Cerro Castor in Ushuaia (Tierra del Fuego) with the longest ski season in the country, or La Hoya in Chubut –with a unique landscape filled with lakes, cascades and woods.

Gourmet Argentina Argentine meat quality has reached other countries and many visitors come to our country to taste a good “asado” in any part of the country.

Speaking of exquisite taste, we have the Cordero Patagónico (Patagonian Lamb): its lean meat has a delicate flavour and is the “diva” of the argentine food. It is easy to find this special dish in the patagonic region.

No matter what type of meat you choose but you will always need a good wine for a perfect touch. And the best way to find this noble drink features is going along the Rutas del Vino (Wine Routes).

The wine production areas go parallel to the Andes Mountains and cover a total length of more than 1490 miles going south from Río Negro, passing by Neuquén, Mendoza, San Juan, La Rioja, Catamarca and Salta.

Some of the many activities offered are: visits to wineries, wine tasting, public wine harvest, lodging in boutique hotels inside the wineries and wine therapy.
