Argentina
A country long enough to run from subtropical waterfalls to glaciers, with a beef-and-wine culture that holds steady the whole way down.
Argentina's size does the work most itineraries have to fake elsewhere — Iguazú's jungle, the Andes around Mendoza, and Patagonian ice are all the same country, just a long flight apart. Buenos Aires sits in the middle of that range, a European-scaled capital that still keeps its own hours: dinner after 9, and a steakhouse on every other corner that means it.
