I LOVE Argentina.  But it's a tough flight -- they run these leaky old airplanes with poor cabin pressurization.   Don't try it for 4-5 days.

Colombia, Peru -- both closer -- more exotic an hopping.[/quote]

I don't think you can really do Peru (the good parts of Peru, anyway) in a long weekend because of the altitude; it takes a while to adjust.[/quote]

I agree a long weekend isn't enough time to scratch the surface in Peru, but you could get a quick taste of it and return for a longer immersion.  Lima is an amazing food city, with great museums.  And I think you should be able to do a day trip (or maybe overnight) to see the Nazca Lines.  Or you could make the entire trip a visit to the rainforest via Iquitos or Puerto Maldonaldo (connecting flights w/in Peru).  Neither would require adjusting to altitude.

To be fair, for a long weekend you are probably looking at a city trip, particularly if you head further south (e.g., Chile, Argentina, Uruguay). [/quote]
