Sport Argentina

In the last fifteen years extreme sports have become massively popular. All over the world people are skydiving, scuba diving, surfing, rock climbing, snow skiing, water skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, mountaineering, bungee jumping and more!

One of the most popular locations for trying any of these sports is Argentina, with 'extreme tourism' being one of their fastest growing industries. If you're thinking of trying any of these sports somewhere like Argentina is ideal: all you need is a bit of Spanish and nerves of steel! Yes if you like hanging off ropes then try The Corderilla mountain range which is not only beautiful but has some of the most testing mountaineering experiences available!

When you're not testing your physical limits (what's wrong with a nice cup of tea and Heat magazine?) then why not dip into other sports form the unique Argentinian culture? We like the sound of 'Pato' - the national game of Argentina that basically involes riding a horse and passing a duck around! Invented in 1610, 'Pato' is Spanish for 'duck' (but it's actually a rubber ball, animal fans) and the playing field would stretch the distance between neighbouring 'estancias' (ranches). The first team to reach its own 'casco' (ranch house) with the duck would be declared the winner! We think they've got proper courts for it now but go on, admit it, you're tempted to have a go aren't you?
