Argentina | Travel Talk

A travel lecture about Argentina - a country that stretches from north to south across a distance equal to the entire width of Europe. Presented by Tomáš Grim (www.tomasgrim.com).

The programme takes listeners through the continent's natural diversity: the snows and ice of the Andes, lush vegetation around the world's largest waterfalls, the arid and thorny Chaco with its unique ecosystems, and the windswept Patagonian plains far beyond the imagination of Central Europe.

But more specific questions will also be answered: why is there a ban on pirate ships anchoring in the harbour of the world's southernmost city? Where does the world's largest penguin colony of millions live? Who might we encounter on the legendary Valdés Peninsula? And where did the author of The Little Prince go for coffee?
