Check out this magnificent drone video of the Argentinean capital city of Buenos Aires, compliments of contributor CinePilots.  The video opens with a fantastic shot of the domed National Congress building, the seat of the country's legislative branch, which sits at the end of the Avenida de Mayo (one of BA's main thoroughfares).  From there, you will be taken over some of the more modern parts of the city, considered one of the most cosmopolitan in South America.  The city is located on the Rio de la Plata, the estuary of the Parana River.  

AirVuz contributor and pilot BlackSun brings us this excellent drone video of Argentina's Puna de Atacama, a vast plateau of the Andes Mountains which covers about 69k square mi. (around 180k square km) in the northwestern part of the country.  The video opens with a shot of the Cono de Arita, an almost perfectly conical volcanic structure.  Other highlights include aerial views of the Antofagasta de la Sierra volcanic field, the Pumice Stone Field, the Devil's Desert (Desierto del Diablo), and more.  

Argentina's Cordoba province is its second largest, after the Buenos Aires province.  In this DVOW nominated film by DonDruillo gives us a drone's eye view of the rural areas of this province outside of its core city Cordoba.  The province is split between the Pampas plain in the east and a series of mountains in the west, with many foothills, rivers, and lakes, with several large reservoir lakes tied to power projects.   It's the country's second most populous province after Buenos Aires.

Prepare to be blown away by this spectacular first person view (FPV) drone video from Argentina's mighty El Aconcagua; with an elevation of 7k meters above sea level (23.8k ft.), the great Andes peak is the tallest mountains outside of Asia.  Contributor and pilot NDH Cinema shot the footage working on a documentary program.  Other than the opening and closing shots (which were filmed with a DJI Mavic Pro 2), the footage was captured with a GoPro Hero 8 mounted to an FPV quad.  This video made the FPV Pilots to Watch list in August, 2020.

AirVuz contributor and pilot @DronDuilio brings us this fantastic drone tour of southern Argentina.  Argentina and neighboring Chile share the southern cone of South America, a region known as Patagonia.  The region consists of a series of steppes (plains) arrayed in rising terraces as one travels east to west, giving way to the Andes Mountains and then the Pacific coast.  Roughly 90% of Patagonia's land area lies in Argentina, covering all or parts of six provinces:  La Pampa, Neuquén, Río Negro, Chubut, Santa Cruz, and Tierra del Fuego.

Codoba is the second most populous city in the South American nation of Argentina, and the capital of the province bearing the same name.  It sits in the interior of the country, northwest of the capital city Buenos Aires, in the foothills of the Sierra Chica Mountains.  In this video, top content creator and pilot Justin Poore uses a drone to give us a bird's eye view of this amazing city, which was founded by the Spanish in the 16th century and is considered a major cultural center for all of South America.  

Iguazu Falls is the largest waterfall system in the world.  It is situated on the Iguazu River in South America, on the border between Brazil and Argentina.   It's not a single falls but rather a complex cataract system comprising 275 drops, with a total height of 82 meters (269 ft.).  In this video by JustinPoore, you will be treated to an aerial tour of this magnificent waterfall system, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site, compliments of AirVuz contributor Justin Poore and his DJI Mavic Pro drone.  

El Gringo Rojo created this beautiful drone video of Argentina's wine country, which is the heart of the world's fifth largest wine industry.  The state of Mendoza is in west central Argentina, with its western reaches covered by the Andes Mountains.  Runoff from the mountains feeds the Mendoza River, which irrigates the otherwise arid landscape in addition to powering the Portrerillos Dam.  This makes for ideal winegrowing conditions, which is why Mendoza is home to about two-thirds of the country's wine production. 

Check out this fantastic drone video of one of South America's largest ski resorts, compliments of AirVuz contributor and pilot Mike Ferrari.  It's called Las Leñas, and it's located in the foothills of the Andes in the northwestern province of Mendoza.  Opened in the 1980's and expanded several times in the intervening years, the resort has a base altitude of 2.24k meters above sea level (around 7.35k ft.) and has a total drop of 1.2k meters or around 3.9k ft.  With 27 runs, the resort lets a skier run non-stop for 7 km (around 4 mi).

Patagonia is a region on the southern cone of South America, shared between Argentina and Chile.  Contributor El Gringo Rojo, her two horses, and her dog embarked on a 1.6k km (1k mi) journey down the length of Argentine Patagonia.  The video includes stunning footage of the waterfalls in El Chalten, horseback riding through Bariloche, a hike to the base of the famous Fitz Roy mountain (part of the Andes chain), and more sights from this spectacularly beautiful land.  Prepare to be amazed by these views from the bottom of the earth.

Take in these outstanding drone views from Patagonian (southern) Argentina, compliments of AirVuz contributor and pilot Gustavo Quiroga.  The video was filmed in the province of Neuquén, the northernmost of the provinces which make up the Argentine side of Patagonia, the region which covers the southern tip of South America.  The specific areas filmed are between the towns of Aluminé and San Martín de los Andes, both of which lie in the western part of the province, on the eastern slopes of the High Andes Mountains.  

Contributor and drone pilot Miguel Guashi created this beautiful aerial video of Mar del Plata, on Argentina's Atlantic coast.  The city is situated a bit to the south of the Rio del Plata estuary, in the state of Buenos Aires.  It is the fifth largest city in this South American country.  Mar del Plata was settled in the mid-1800's, considerably later than many other South American cities.  Today, tourists drawn to its beaches have turned it into one of Argentina's larger tourism destinations.

Ushuaia, Argentina enjoys a notable distinction - it is regarded as the southernmost city in the world.  It is situated on the island of Tierra Del Fuego at the southern tip of South America, which is part of the region of Patagonia.  Top contributor Fabio Knoll created this spectacular aerial video of this city  on the Beagle Channel, a passageway between the Atlantic and Pacific that's an alternative to the comparatively well-travelled Magellan Strait on the northern side of the Tierra del Fuego.   

Check out this amazing drone video of the largest freshwater lake in the South American country of Argentina.  Argentino Lake is located in the state of Santa Cruz, which is part of the Patagonia region in the southern part of the country.  The lake covers over 1.6k square km (about 550 square mi.) and is quite deep - about 500 meters (approximately 1.6k ft.) at its deepest point.  Contributor Let's Fly Production used a drone to create this beautiful video of the great lake and neighboring city of El Calafate. 

Contributor and pilot The World as Playground used a DJI Mavic Pro drone to create this marvelous aerial video of one of the world's most unusual glaciers.  It's called the Perito Moreno glacier, and it's located on the Argentina side of Patagonia near the southern tip of South America.  The glacier is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Patagonia, and it's also of interest to scientists: whereas most of the world's glaciers are shrinking, this one is slowly but steadily growing in size.  

AirVuz contributor Gustavo Quiroga earned a spot as a Drone Video of the Week Finalist with this excellent video from the Andes Mountains in Argentina.  The area filmed is called Agua de los Tamarindos, and it's located on Route 13 near Uspallata in the northwestern state of Mendoza.  Filmed with a  DJI Mini 3 Pro and and a DJI Air 3 drone, the video captures an outcrop of the Choiyoi Group, a volcanic-sedimentary sequence which formed between 200-300 million years ago and which extends over to neighboring Chile.  

Former DVOW Finalist Gustavo Quiroga brings us this stunning drone video from the Patagonia region of southern Argentina.  The footage was shot with a DJI Mini 3 drone flying from various locations mostly in the southwestern part of the Neuquén province as some spots over the provincial border with neighboring Rio Negro (the other province of northern Argentinian Patagonia).  As you'll see in the video, the landscape here varies from the snow-capped peaks of the Andes and enormous glacially-fed lakes to the vast plains of the Pampas.  

The Coastal Park of the South (Parque Costero del Sur Biosphere Reserve) is situated on the Rio de la Plata estuary of Argentina, downstream from the city of Buenos Aires.  It represents an important subtropical nature reserve that is easily accessible from the capital city, in the Buenos Aires Province.  It's part of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves.  In this video, you can see this spectacular scene from a bird's eye perspective, compliments of contributor and drone pilot Drone Video. 

Brand-new AirVuz contributor Federico_Falco brings us this marvelous drone video of Argentina's Salta Province.  One of the most remote states of this giant South American country, Salta covers a large portion of the northwestern corner of the country, nearly surrounding the province of Juyjuy and bordering the neighboring countries of Bolivia and Paraguay to the north and Chile to the west.  The province is known for the diversity of its climate and landscape, ranging from subtropical jungle in the east to the Andes Mountains in the west.

Here's a fantastic professional drone reel from the Mendoza province of Argentina.  The province lies on the western side of the country, with a long border with Chile.  It includes the magnificent Mt. Aconcagua, the highest mountain in the western and southern hemispheres.  The province slopes down moving east, into one of the world's great wine-growing regions at lower altitudes.  In between are more massive mountains, stunning glacial lakes, yawning canyons, and all manner of other visual delights.  

Check out this stunning drone video of a nature reserve area in the Patagonian region of southern Argentina, compliments of contributor Luiz Gerbase.  It's called the Laguna Nimez, and it's situated in the southwestern corner of the Province of Santa Cruz, the next-to-southernmost of the country's 23 provinces.  It sits right next to the city of El Calafate, one of the three main cities of Santa Cruz.   Laguna Nimez was created as a means to protect the unique flora and fauna that are native to the area.

Among the many attractions of South America's Patagonia region are some of the world's best spots for whale watching.  Seasonal migration patterns result in many species of whales moving in large numbers past the coasts of southern Chile and Argentina near the southern tip of the continent.  In this video, contributor and pilot Jonathanwyn used a DJI Mavic Pro drone to film Southern Right Whales off the coast of Argentina during the winter months when they move away from the waters of Antarctica.

Contributor and pilot MountainRunner headed into the Andes Mountains of western Argentina to take this amazing drone video from some seriously high altitudes.  The video was shot around Cerro Vallecitos, which is part of the Cordon del Plata Mountains.  This sub-range of the Andes Mountains system is located in the Mendoza Province, which runs along the Chilean-Argentinian border.  Vallecitos is considered amongst the most hikeable (and therefore popular) of the mountains in the chain.  

Argentina's Mendoza province has some of the most diverse natural landscapes of anywhere in the world.  Its eastern portion is a semi-arid flatland which is now one of the world's top wine-growing regions, and its western portion is home to some of the world's highest mountains.  In between there are all manner of valleys, rivers, rock formations, and waterfalls.  Check out the diverse landscapes of this spectacularly beautiful region in this drone video by content creator and pilot Macupaya.  

AirVuz contributor and drone pilot pablogeno brings us this beautiful aerial view of a winegrowing area in northern Argentina.  It's in the Calchaquí Valley near the town of Cafayate, in the Salta province which occupies much of the northwestern part of the country.  The mild climate and low humidity of the region make for excellent winegrowing conditions, and the valley is home to some of the finest Argentinian vineyards.  It's especially well known for its Torrontés grape varieties.  

Check out this drone video of the seaside town of Monte Hermoso, Argentina, compliments of contributor BlackSun.  Monte Hermoso is a resort town on the country's Atlantic coastline.  While it's part of the province of Buenos Aires, it's hundreds of miles south of the capital city.  The nearest major city is Bahía Blanca, which lies about 100 km (around 60 mi.) to the west.  The video includes footage of Monte Hermoso's lighthouse, the tallest in South America, which was fabricated in France by the company which built the Eiffel Tower. 

Explore the Andes Mountains in Argentina in this fantastic drone video by former Drone Video of the Week Finalist Gustavo Quiroga.  The video was filmed near the town of  Vallecitos in the Cordón del Plata mountains, an Andes subchain which lies in the western state of Mendoza.  The mountains here range up to just under 20k ft. above sea level (a little under 6k m).  The video was filmed with a DJI Mini 3 Pro, whose light weight (about 8 oz or 250 g) makes it a perfect companion for mountain treks.  

For a first upload to AIrVuz, new contributor gquiroga brings us this fantastic drone video of a spectacular sight in the Andes Mountains of Argentina.  It's called Seven Colors Hill, and it's located near the town of Uspallata in the province of Mendoza.  Not to be confused with another hill of the same name in the Jujuy Province, this Cerro de los Siete Colores was formed by volcanic eruptions over 200 million years ago.  At the :50 and 1:36 marks, you'll get glimpses of Aconcagua, the tallest mountain in the Western Hemisphere.  

Check out this drone video from the very northern reaches of Argentina, compliments of contributor Martin Baldoni.  It was filmed in the province of Jujuy, the northwesternmost of the country's 23 states.  Its only internal border is with the state of Salda; its western and northern borders are with Chile and Bolivia, respectively.  Most of the province is covered by the Antiplano, the great Andean plateau which covers a fairly large portion of Bolivia and a smaller portion of northern Chile. 

For a first upload to AirVuz, new contributor gabrielitzcp brings us this excellent drone view of the main square of the city of Mendoza, Argentina.  The capital of its namesake province, Mendoza is the center of the fourth-largest metropolitan area of this large South American country, and the largest in its sparsely populated western part. While the city was founded in the 16th century, much of it was leveled during a devastating earthquake in 1861; the square, like much of its architecture, dates to the second half of the 19th century.

AirVuz contributor BlackSun brings us this excellent drone video of one of the most unusual-looking sights in Argentina: the giant formation known as the Cono de Arita.  Almost perfectly cone-shaped, it rises to a height of 800 ft. above the surrounding land (a bit over 200 m) and its base has a perimeter length of about a mile and a half (about 2.4 km).  A volcano which lacked the strength to explode, it sits on the Andes Mountain plateau known as the Puna de Atacama in Salta, one of the country's northwestern provinces.  

Check out these beautiful drone views of a well known beach area of Argentina, compliments of AirVuz contributor and pilot Alebedia- Aereal Images.  The area is centered on the city of Pinamar, which lies in the province of Buenos Aires on Argentina's Atlantic coast, about 250 mi (around 400 km) southeast of the province's namesake city and national capital.  The first beach shown is Valeria del Mar, which lies just to the south of Pinamar.  The second beach town is Cariló, which lies immediately to the south of Valeria del Mar. 

For a first upload to AirVuz, new contributor Vivez drone brings us this drone video from southern Argentina.  The video was filmed over the province of Chubut, one of the five which make up Patagonian Argentina (the region of Patagonia also includes the Chilean provinces at similar latitudes).  Chubut's territory is defined by the 42nd and 46th southern parallels, bordering the provinces of Rio Negro and Santa Cruz, respectively.   The video includes footage both from the Chubut coastline as well as its extensive interior.  

The Quebrada de las Angosturas is one of the many modern marvels of Argentina.  Seen in this excellent drone video by AirVuz contributor BlackSun, it's a series of geological formations near the town of Tinogasta in the northwestern province of Catamarca.  The multi-colored rocks form part of the Andes Mountains system, which run down the length of western Argentina and form the natural border with Chile.  The video was filmed with a DJI Air 2S drone.  The area is accessible via National Route 60.  

During the winter months, large herds of whales migrate past the coast of Patagonia in Argentina to escape the winters of Antarctica.  In this video, you'll see a pair of them off the coast of the northern Patagonian region.  Contributor and pilot Jema Ic Phantom used a DJI Phantom 4 drone film the whales, the seaside city of Puerto Madryn, and the beautiful Atlantic coastline of southern Argentina.  This area is part of the state of Chubut, which lies to the north of the main Patagonian state of Santa Cruz.

Check out this drone video from the forbidden-sounding (and -looking) Devil's Desert in Argentina, compliments of AirVuz contributor BlackSun.  The desert lies on the plateau known as the Puna de Atacama.  It's located in the northwestern province of Salta, not far from the Chilean border.  With altitudes of well over 10k ft. above sea level (around 3k m), its red-hued rocks give the place an almost Martian-looking feel.  This area is considered a southern extension of the Bolivian Antiplano, a vast plateau of the Andes Mountains region.   

Check out this fantastic drone video from the Andes Mountains in Argentina, compliments of AirVuz contributor and pilot Gustavo Quiroga.  The video was filmed over the Morenas Coloradas, a trek near the Vallecitos ski area in the northwestern state of Mendoza.   Just a few dozen mi/km from the Chilean border (which lies just to the west), the altitudes here range from about 10k ft. above sea level (around 3k m) to nearly 14k ft. ASL (about 4.2k m).  The video was filmed with a DJI Mini 3 Pro drone.     

Contributor and drone pilot Wrenee, aka the Queen of the Dronie, brings her trademark pullout dronie shot to the Patagonia region of southern Argentina, in the southern cone of South America.  The spot is the Leona River, which flows through Los Glacieres National Park near the border with Chile.  The river is fed by La Glacieres, the giant icecap which enjoys the distinction of being the largest glacier in the world outside of the polar icecaps.  The river flows into Lake Argentino, the country's largest freshwater lake. 

Take in these spectacular aerial views from the foothills of the Andes Mountains in Argentina by former DVOW Finalist Gustavo Quiroga.  The video was filmed over Cerro Bayo mountain, which is located in the Potrerillos district in the state of Mendoza, west of the state's eponymous capital city and east of the main range of the Andes.  Cerro Bayo has a peak altitude of around 8.3k ft. above sea level (about 2.5k m).  Filmed with a DJI Mini 3 Pro drone, the video also affords views of the nearby Embalse de Potrerillos reservoir lake.  

Explore the beautiful Vallecitos Hills in northwestern Argentina by drone, compliments of AirVuz contributor Gustavo Quiroga.  Located in the state of Mendoza, the term "hills" only makes sense in comparison with the massive peaks of the Andes just a short distance away; the Vallecitos peaks reach altitudes of up to 12.6k ft. above sea level (just under 4 m).  The hills are part of the Cordón del Plata, a sub-chain of the Andes Mountains, which sports peaks of up to 16k+ ft. above sea level (around 5k m).  

Argentina is home to some of the world's most unusual geological formations, particularly in its mountainous western reaches.  In this drone video by contributor BlackSun, you'll get an aerial view of an other-worldly area known as the Pumice Stone Field (Campo de Piedra Pómez).  It's located on the vast Andes Mountain plateau known as the Puna de Atacama near the village of El Peñón in the northwestern province of Catamarca.  The rocks you see were formed from the eruption of nearby volcanoes.  

AirVuz contributor Gistavo Quiroga brings us this fantastic drone video from an unusual stone formation in the Andes Mountains called a rock glacier.  Rock glaciers are formed as rock-carrying glaciers recede and leave behind vast trails of debris which they had trapped and carried during their growth phases.  This particular formation is called the Morenas Colorades and it's located near Vallecitos in the northwestern state of Mendoza, in the eastern foothills of the great Andes Mountains chain.  

Check out this drone video from a lake in the Andes Mountains of Argentina, compliments of AirVuz contributor and pilot Limba Creators.  It was filmed around Laguna Brava,  a relatively long, narrow pond in La Rioja, one of the country's 23 provinces.  It's situated on the eastern slope of the Andes Mountains, not far from the country's western border with Chile.  The lake, which measures about 17 km long (aroun 10 mi.) and about 4 km at its widest (abour two mi.), is part of a nature preserve created in 1980.

Take in these magnificent drone views of southern Argentina, compliments of brand-new contributor agustristant.  The video was filmed near the city of San Carlos de Bariloche in Río Negro, one of the main provinces of Patagonian Argentina.  Located in the western part of the country, just over the Andes Mountains from Chile, this area is crossed by a series of lakes created by glacial runoff from the mighty peaks to the west.  In the video, you'll see Nahuel Huapi Lake (the largest of these lakes) as well as Verde and Guillelmo Lakes.  

Check out this amazing drone video from a volcanic field in the Andes Mountains region of Argentina, compliments of AirVuz contributor BlackSun.  It's called Antofagasta de la Sierra, and it's located in the northwestern province of Catamarca.  The voclanoes are distinguished by their cinder cones (also known as scoria cones), which aer created from fragments created by a volcanic blast from a single vent.  The Alumbrera, one of two which you'll see in the video, rises to a height of 538 ft. (164 m) above the surrounding terrain.  

Content creator and drone pilot Roadadventures.world created this spectacular drone video of a large reservoir lake in Argentina.  Potrerillos Dam was built around the turn of the millennium.  It's in the state of Mendoza in west central Argentina.  The dam is powered by water runoff from the Andes Mountains flowing into the Mendoza River. The Mendoza River also feeds the vineyards of the well known Mendoza winegrowing area, which is situated further downstream and is home to about two-thirds of the country's wine production.

Former Drone Video of the Week Finalist Gustavo Quiroga used a DJI Mini 3 Pro drone to create this beautiful aerial view of Argentina's Seven Colors Hill (Cerro Siete Colores) with the addition of an eighth color - the whiteness of a light snow cover.  Formed by a series of volcanic eruptions many millions of years ago, the hill is located near the town of Uspallata in the western province of Mendoza, on the eastern slopes of the main line of the Andes Mountains, which is also the border between Argentina and Chile.

Top AirVuz contributor Gustavo Quiroga used a DJI Air 3 drone to create this stunning aerial view of a spot in the Andes Mountains in Argentina.  The video was filmed near the town of Potrerillos, which lies on the eastern slopes of the Andes in the state of Mendoza.  Filmed after an Autumn snowfall, the video features shots of the reservoir of Potrerillos Dam, which was completed in the early 2000's and which provides hydroelectricity, drinking water, and irrigation to surrounding portions of the Potrerillos Valley.  

Cordoba is Argentina's second city, and its development in some respects that of the USA's one-time second city, Chicago.  It's in the interior of the country, and while it is nearly as old as Buenos Aires, it didn't really take off until the advent of the railroads.  This occurred a couple of decades later than it did in the USA, but when it did, Cordoba exploded: its population quadrupled in the first half of the 20th century.  Check out this thoroughly modern city in this beautiful drone video by @DronDrullio.

Mt. Aconcagua is the highest peak in the Andes range and enjoys the distinction of being the highest mountain in both the Western Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere, rising to a height of nearly 7k m (almost 23k feet) above sea level.  It lies in a far western part of Argentina, more or less due west from Buenos Aires, and not far from the country's western border with Chile.  In this amazing drone video, contributor Luiz Gerbase uses a drone to give us an amazing aerial view of this monster mountain.     

AirVuz contributor and pilot BlackSun brings us this excellent drone video of a plateau of the Andes Mountains in northern Argentina.  It's called the Puna de Atacama, and it covers portions of the provinces of Salta, Jujuy, and Catamarca, as well as a small area of neighboring Chile.  Covering a massive area of 69k square mi. (around 180k square km), the plateau has an average elevation of almost 15k ft. above sea level (around 4.5k m).   It's considered a southern extension of the larger Bolivian Plateau.
