Argentina’s human culture blazes as brightly as its natural wonders, from the sinuous tango dancers of Buenos Aires to the gauchos (cowboys) who ride on far-flung grasslands and estancias. Our specialists are able to plan an Argentina tour that takes in all the country’s major attractions, including the saw-toothed Perito Moreno Glacier, the gargantuan Iguazu Falls, and the plazas, museums and cafes of the capital itself.
But they’re also ardent about introducing you to Argentina’s unsung treasures. They can show you corners of Argentinian Patagonia that deliver as big a scenic punch as Chile’s Torres del Paine National Park but receive far fewer visitors. You might find yourself staying at smaller, family-run, off-the-beaten-track wineries in Mendoza, or visiting Salta, a fine colonial city in the northwest. Your holiday to Argentina could even include a journey to the far-flung Valdes Peninsula to spot whales, penguins and sea lions.
