Regular travel guides provide sightseeing info, accommodation listings and prices, all of which are freely available online and susceptible to Covid-related travel restrictions. Culture Smart! guides, however, focus on the people, their history, culture, traditions, and etiquette-information that is not readily available online from any single source, and make for an insightful and valuable read whether on the road or at home.

The second-largest country in South America, Argentina has been through great changes in recent years. Its journey from dictatorship to democracy has left many scars, but these are largely eclipsed by the pride and resilience of the Argentinian people, who have developed a style, a language, and a joie de vivre that are all their own. Embracing much more than gaucho, tango, and soccer, Argentina is very unlike its neighbors. And, due to the unique way in which it evolved, is quite different from the expectations many visitors have of a stereotypical Latin American destination. This new, updated edition of Culture Smart! Argentina looks at the attitudes and values of the people and how they've adapted to the challenges and events of the last decade. It introduces you to their customs, traditions, fiestas, lifestyle, and cuisine, and provides you with the essential tools to make the most of your time here.
