Reasons To
Visit Argentina

  • Estancias

    Argentina’s history of agriculture and in particular of rearing livestock has resulted in hundreds of estancias, or ranches, across the country that open their doors year round to visitors looking for a taste of the authentic cowboy life.

  • Iguazú Falls

    Straddling the Argentina and Brazil border it is the Argentine side that provides the opportunity for the detailed and close up views of some of the 276 waterfalls that make up Iguazú. The numerous vantage points and forested trails make for a wonderful experience of nature at her best.

  • Tango

    The Argentine tango originated in the working class quarters of Buenos Aires, brought to life by European immigrants whose diverse instruments, rhythms and steps came together to create what is today an enchanting and hypnotic dance enjoyed across the country.

  • Outdoor Activities
  • Walking & Biking

This excursion will take you to unique spots only accessible by a four wheel drive vehicle.

You take the National Road Nº 3 northwards and enjoy the magnificent views of the Carbajal and Tierra Mayor valleys before reaching Garibaldi Pass, where you will make your first panoramic stop.

You continue along NR Nº 3 to Bronzovich Sawmill where you'll take a secondary road to Lake Fagnano. There, in an extraordinary forest, you will have breakfast. The off road drive lasts for approximately one hour, following the coast of Lake Fagnano, sometimes through the forest, sometimes in the water. Before you arrive at Bombilla Lagoon you might like to take a 40-minute-walk to a refuge situated by the lake. There, your guides will be waiting for you with a tasty 'choripan (typical Argentine sausage in sandwich) and a barbecue. The refuge is very rustic and comfortable and has a large window with the best views of Tierra del Fuego.

After lunch you will have some free time to walk around, rest and enjoy the landscape or simply talk over the meal with your travelling companions. At 3:30 pm you will follow an off road track until you reach the old road N 3 that borders Lake Escondido, continuing to the farthest tip of the lake, where Hosteria Petrel is located. There, you will have some free time again (around 1 hour) to walk, drink a coffee at the Hostelry or enjoy your surroundings.

At 5 pm you will start our journey back along NR 3 to the city of Ushuaia.
