Buenos Aires<\/h2>\n

The city of double takes – are you actually in Europe? – Buenos Aires<\/a> is as chic as you imagine it to be. The architecture, the plethora of artists, the bustling markets, and the dazzling nightlife; it\u2019s no wonder the city is often referred to as the \u2018Paris of South America<\/a>\u2019. But look just a little closer and it will become very apparent that you\u2019re most certainly in Argentina<\/a>. Think dancers Tango-ing on street corners, Asado grills propped up outside steamy restaurants, and steak so good it can only have been sourced from the country\u2019s rolling plains. History buffs will enjoy gazing in awe at the Casa Rosada where Eva Per\u00f3n gave her famous speeches, before searching for her tomb in the maze of Recoleta Cemetery. Night owls will love that no one eats before at 8pm (at least!) and then dances the night away in La Boca, were the music keeps playing for as long as you\u2019re dancing. If you\u2019re searching for Argentina\u2019s beating heart, you\u2019ll find it right here in this spectacular city – be prepared to fall head over heels!<\/p>\n

How do I do it?<\/strong>
\nBuenos Aires<\/a> is more than easy to reach, with flights landing daily from all over the world. Our biggest tip? Leave enough time not only to rest your head in one of the many gorgeous hotels<\/a> (read on\u2026) and shake off the jetlag, but also to explore. We guarantee you\u2019ll want to keep exploring once you\u2019ve begun to scratch the surface of this flamboyant city.<\/p>\n

Where do I start?<\/strong>
\nBuenos Aires<\/a> features in just about all of our trips, not only because it\u2019s the country\u2019s travel hub but also because we can\u2019t let you visit Argentina<\/a> without paying homage to the famous capital. Start with our Highlights of Argentina itinerary<\/a> – if you\u2019re not sure where to go or where to begin, this trip will whisk you through all high points. You\u2019ll see everything from Buenos Aires\u2019 beautiful streets, Mendoza\u2019s<\/a> winelands, the world\u2019s largest waterfall system<\/a> and so much more. If Argentina\u2019s been on your must-see list for a while, this is the adventure for you.<\/p>\n

A spectacular, icy vista in Argentinian Patagonia<\/p><\/div>\n

Argentinian Patagonia<\/h2>\n

Meandering, rugged and astonishingly beautiful, Argentinian Patagonia starts in the postcard-perfect Lake District where clear pools are flanked by snow-topped peaks and endless countryside. The picturesque setting is rife with possibilities for hiking, horseback riding and biking, and most adventures set off from Bariloche<\/a>. You could make your way from one quaint hamlet to the next along the scenic Seven Lakes Route or, if the time is right, take a ride on the steam-powered El Trochita train. Otherwise, visit the Museo Leleque, which houses a fascinating collection of artefacts, or wander through the Cueva de la Manos, home to 9,000-year-old handprints and paintings. Oh, and did we mention that Bariloche also happens to be Argentina\u2019s<\/a> chocolate capital? Enough said\u2026<\/p>\n

Los Glaciares National Park marks the true beginning of Patagonia in all its spine-tingling glory. A feast for the senses, your travels will take you past glaciers, mountain spires and azure lakes where guanacos munch nearby. There are trails upon trails to explore, many of which leave from El Chalten<\/a>, and range from easy saunters, to the Laguna de los Tres where your (not inconsiderable) efforts will be rewarded with a face-to-face encounter with Mount Fitz Roy. Near El Calafate<\/a>, hike above or boat alongside the Perito Moreno Glacier – the only glacier in Patagonia that continues to expand – then stick with the theme and grab a drink at Argentina\u2019s first ice bar after your action-packed day. The southernmost city on Earth, Ushuaia<\/a> provides your last memories of Patagonia. Set between a ridge of mountains and the famous Beagle Channel, the town is the springboard for trips to the Tierra del Fuego archipelago where colonies of King penguins and sea lions can be spotted. Have those cameras ready as you cruise the waters at the \u2018end of the world\u2019…<\/p>\n

How do I do it?<\/strong>
\nThe easiest way to reach Argentinian Patagonia is on a flight from Buenos Aires<\/a>, but remember to factor in connection times if you\u2019re flying straight there after arriving in the capital. From the domestic Aeroparque Jorge Newberry (AEP), you can fly to Bariloche<\/a> (2.5 hours), Ushuaia and Tierra del Fuego<\/a> (3.5 hours) and El Calafate<\/a> (3 hours, 15 minutes). From El Calafate, El Chalten<\/a> is around a three-hour drive away.<\/p>\n

Where do I start?<\/strong>
\nIf you\u2019re looking for Argentina\u2019s<\/a> CinemaScope sights, our see-it-all trip<\/a> through Patagonia is just the ticket. After getting to know Buenos Aries and its famous nightlife, you\u2019ll head south where glaciers, glimmering lakes and towering peaks await.<\/p>\n

The Tupungato massif watching over Masi Tupungato vineyard<\/p><\/div>\n

Mendoza<\/h2>\n

Mention Argentina<\/a> and talk of Malbec is likely to follow – and with good reason. This silky-smooth red (and multiple varietals) have made Mendoza<\/a> one of the wine darlings of the world, and its mountain-ringed hills boast over 1,500 vineyards to swirl and sip at. Most are concentrated around the capital (of the same name), a city spread across a lovely valley with plenty of plazas and museums to explore. Every March, the Fiesta de la Vendimia (Wine Harvest Festival) occurs, a vibrant celebration of wine preceded by a week of concerts, parades and lots of dancing. And Mendoza isn\u2019t only about the grapes: with around 320 days of sunshine in a year, outdoor activities are always enjoyable. Hike, bike and ride horseback through the countryside, picnic beside tranquil lakes and climb the face of a cerro; white water raft, ski, or visit the barren lava deserts of La Payunia.<\/p>\n

How do I do it?<\/strong>
\nLocated in central Argentina<\/a>, Mendoza<\/a> is easy to reach from the country\u2019s popular destinations. Depending on your itinerary, fly from Buenos Aires<\/a> (2 hours) or Salta<\/a> (1 hour, 45 minutes), which offers weekly direct flights.<\/p>\n

Where do I start?<\/strong>
\nWhile you could easily spend an entire trip enjoying the wines of Mendoza<\/a>, why not combine the best of Chilean Patagonia and the Iguazu Falls<\/a> too? Add some history, scenery and that fabulous Malbec and you\u2019ve got this fantastic two-week trip<\/a>?<\/p>\n

The rushing, overwhelming cascades of Iguazu Falls<\/p><\/div>\n

Iguazu Falls<\/h2>\n

Millenia ago, a volcanic ripple ran through South America resulting in Iguazu Falls<\/a>. Where Argentina<\/a> touches Brazil, it\u2019s the largest waterfall system in the world (taller than Niagara and wider than Victoria) and the meeting place of 275 cascades, which crash into a misty, foaming cauldron below. Boasting two thirds of the Falls, Argentina is the best place to see the thundering spectacle from every angle. Stand, awestruck, at the \u2018devil\u2019s throat\u2019 drop-off and watch as a double rainbow appears, or take a boat ride at the base of the falls – whichever you choose, goosebumps are inevitable. There\u2019s plenty of wildlife to be found in this remote corner of Argentina, and on hikes into the surrounds, you\u2019ll come across incredible birdlife, monkeys and, if you\u2019re lucky, pumas and ocelots too.<\/p>\n

How do I do it?<\/strong>
\nThe Iguazu Falls<\/a> area is most easily reached on a 3-hour flight from Aeroparque Jorge Newberry (AEP) in Buenos Aires<\/a>, which will land at the Cataratas del Iguaz\u00fa (IGR) airport. Direct flights from Buenos Aires\u2019 main Ezeiza International Airport (EZE) are less common, but convenient should you want to immediately travel to the Falls.<\/p>\n

Where do I start?<\/strong>
\nThe Iguazu Falls<\/a> are more than memorable on their own, but we say make it the trip<\/a> of a lifetime by hitting all Argentina\u2019s<\/a> highlights. Relive history and learn to tango in Buenos Aires and, after being blown away by the Falls, catch your breath in the winelands. End on a thrilling note in Patagonia, trekking between glaciers and Andean peaks before saying adi\u00f3s to Argentina.<\/p>\n

Surreal Serran\u00eda de Hornocal mountains, The Northwest<\/p><\/div>\n

Salta & The Northwest<\/h2>\n

In a country of photogenic landscapes, Argentina\u2019s<\/a> Northwest is one of the most fascinating thanks to traditions that have endured in the communities who live much as their ancestors did. Sitting at 3,984 feet above sea level, Salta<\/a> is the capital and the only real city for miles, characterised by churches, Spanish mansions and vibrant evenings in the square. Beyond the city limits, there are high-altitude vineyards (providing a tangy, white alternative to Malbec) and national parks to explore. Drive or hike your way across the terrain, taking in highlights like the Hill of Seven Colours (do yourself a favour and visit at sunrise or sunset), the famous Las Salinas Grandes salt flats, the \u2018Arrows of the gods\u2019 and the Yungas Jungle, home to South America\u2019s biggest wildcat. Whichever direction you go, there will be something to marvel at\u2026<\/p>\n

How do I do it?<\/strong>
\nFlights (2 hours) to Salta<\/a> depart from Aeroparque Jorge Newberry (AEP) in Buenos Aires<\/a> and arrive at the General Mart\u00edn Miguel de G\u00fcemes International Airport (SLA), which is just 6 kilometres from central Salta. If you\u2019re feeling extra adventurous, board the Train to the Clouds at the San Antonio de Los Cobres station and make the scenic, multi-day journey to Salta.<\/p>\n

Where do I start?<\/strong>
\nGet to know northern Argentina<\/a> in technicolour detail on this trip<\/a>, which will take you between the birthplace of Malbec, Buenos Aires<\/a> and the cascading Iguazu Falls<\/a>, before delving into the secrets of Salta<\/a> and its superlative landscapes.<\/p>\n
