Spaniards discovered Argentina in the 16th century and promptly invaded the country. The Spanish navigator Juan Díaz de Solís reached Río de la Plata, near modern-day Buenos Aires, in 1516. The Spanish conquistadores then took over the northwestern region of the country and established the cities of Jujuy, Cordoba, Salta and Tucuman. During a motorcycle trip in Argentina, you will have the chance to discover Buenos Aires, the dynamic and cosmopolitan capital city, as well as other incredibly charming colonial cities. Argentina is the South American country where European culture is the most established. This unique composition will feel simultaneously familiar and exotic on your Argentina motorbike tour. The country gained independence in 1816. Late in the 19th century, the nation was united, the economy developed, exports were going well and immigration intensified. Argentina adopted universal suffrage in 1912 and became more democratic. But the country suffered from the ill effects of the 1929 crisis. Nationalists came to power and political instability persisted till the beginning of the 80s, alternating between the military in power and the Nationalists. After the major financial crisis of 2001 which shook the country, the economic and social situation has been gradually improving over the last decade.
