Latin America has been colonised many years ago. People from Europe came and wished to establish new community with their culture and traditions. These traditions had mixed with the culture of aborigenals. Because of the wild mixture of different cultures, which had interacted in Argentina, standing joke about porteños - the name given to the inhabitants of Buenos Aires has appeared: "They are Spaniards who talk like Italians, dress like Frenchmen and think they are British".
When we talk about Argentina we first of all mean the most passionate dance in the world. There is nothing which can be compared with Argentina tango. But this land worth visiting not only because of tango.

Travellers usually stay at the Yacutinga Lodge. Most of the Yacutinga staff belong to a nearby community, which has been spoiling Nature in order to survive economically. They have timbered vast forest, expanded the agriculture border in a non-organized way and used agro-toxics without considering the negative effect it might produce. The soil of this type of Jungle is very fragile. So was here before the soil has been eroded as a result of all those violations. No wonder, that the farming activity has decreased because of desertification and the consequent loss of soil nutrients for crop farming.
Argentina has the large variety of eco-regions. ut unfortunately they has not been interpreted nor taken in consideration and even less the adequate form of using the resources in each of these regions.
During the Argentina holiday tourists can observe such unique item of nature as rainforest. The rainforest is situated in the eco-region with the richest biodiversity in Argentina and at the same time it is the most perishable due to the ignorance regarding its functioning while knowing the fragility of its soil.
Eco-tourism is one of the most popular type of holidays nowadays and one of the major types of Argentina holidays in particular. The Capybaras rebreeding station is part of the touristy attractions visited by guests during their stay in Yacutinga. The population of capybaras in Argentina and especially in Yacutinga has been decreased de to the hunting pressure.
