How they compare
The verdict
For most travellers, the choice comes down to what kind of week you're really after. Argentina leans cultural + nature, while Los Angeles leans city + beach. Argentina wins on value (~$90/day mid-range vs $220/day in Los Angeles), but Los Angeles tends to deliver a more polished, higher-spend experience. Neither is wrong — pick by personality, not by ranking.
