It wasn’t that many years ago that exploring a faraway country without actually going there meant looking at it in an atlas, getting a book from the library, or asking someone about it.

Today, we can simply hop online to find out more, including hitting Google’s amazing Street View service to view on-the-ground imagery. Heck, we can even strap on a VR headset, adjust our apartment’s temperature to match that of our chosen destination, and feel like we’re really there. Well, almost.

“Have you ever wondered what it’s like to side across a glacier? Or how it feels to stretch your arms beneath a waterfall?” Street View asks in a blog post introducing the new content. “Well, now you can see for yourself. In its more than 2.7 million square kilometers, Argentina is home of some of the most spectacular natural settings on the globe.”

Included in the stunning collection of panoramic pictures is Los Glaciares National Park’s imposing Perito Moreno Glacier, the waterfalls of Iguazú National Park, and sweeping vistas of Patagonia National Park.

Argentina has more than 30 national parks, and Google’s Street View team has now gathered imagery for almost half of them. So if you fancy exploring more of the country but have no plans to cross the border in person, head here to enjoy amazing views of the country’s beautiful natural wonders.

We’re getting closer every day to an entirely cashless society. While some folks may still carry around a few bucks for emergencies, electronic payments are accepted nearly everywhere, and as mobile wallets expand, even traditional credit and debit cards are starting to fall by the wayside.

That means many of us are past the days of tossing a few bills onto the table to pay our share of a restaurant tab or slipping our pal a couple of bucks to help them out. Now, even those things are more easily doable from our smartphones than our physical wallets.
