Letter to Lionel Messi: Visit Argentina's Invitation to Explore the Country

Dear Lionel,

We hear that you would like to visit the tourist destinations in your country. When it comes to Argentina, we are the experts and just as you've made us happy, now it's our turn.

We get hundreds of messages from people from all over Argentina inviting you to visit their cities. We have the winter team who say that you must tour around Patagonia and toast with Antonella on the glacier... We already have the cups!

Some are thinking about the little ones. Thiago, Mateo and Ciro could swim with the sea lions in Puerto Madryn; now it is also the whale and penguin season. If your popularity didn't make you feel dizzy, you won't be dizzy on a boat for a few hours.

We know you don't like cold weather. So people from northern Argentina are warmly inviting you, the north has a temperate climate. They are looking forward to seeing you show your talent in a peña –a typical musical show... We know how you make people dance, if someone doesn’t know what we mean, they can ask the 4 of The Netherlands.

You have expressed that you are a fan of Argentine food many times. Your mom's milanesas can't compete with any award-winning restaurant, but Buenos Aires and Mendoza have their stars , and you won't be able to say no to a barbecue with a Malbec.

Regarding the Iguazú falls, it’s all set. Just let us know your availability and if you prefer aisle or window…

You were very busy making us the happiest country in the world. That’s why we want you to know that you can count on us to travel throughout your home country. In every corner of Argentina, 47 million hosts are waiting for you to make you feel as happy as you have made us. 

Warm regards.
