The picturesque setting is rife with possibilities for hiking, horseback riding and biking, and most adventures set off from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/bariloche-the-lake-district-trip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/country\/argentina-trip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Argentina\u2019s<\/a> chocolate capital? Enough said\u2026<\/p>\n<p>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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/el-chalten-trip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/el-calafate-trip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">El Calafate<\/a>, hike above or boat alongside the Perito Moreno Glacier &#8211; the only glacier in Patagonia that continues to expand &#8211; 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, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/ushuaia-tierra-del-fuego-trip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">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&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do I do it?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe easiest way to reach Argentinian Patagonia is on a flight from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/buenos-aires-trip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Buenos Aires<\/a>, but remember to factor in connection times if you\u2019re flying straight there after arriving in the capital.

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.

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 &#8211; 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<p><strong>How do I do it?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/iguazu-falls-trip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Iguazu Falls<\/a> area is most easily reached on a 3-hour flight from Aeroparque Jorge Newberry (AEP) in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/buenos-aires-trip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">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<p><strong>Where do I start?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/iguazu-falls-trip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Iguazu Falls<\/a> are more than memorable on their own, but we say make it the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/trip\/highlights-of-argentina\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> of a lifetime by hitting all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/country\/argentina-trip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">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<div id=\"timbuktu_shortcode\" class=\"alternate is-active\"><div id=\"timbuktu-wp\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css?family=Merriweather:700|Open+Sans:300,600\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/iguazu-falls-trip?action=DesignATrip&wId=001&regionName=Iguazu%20Falls&regionId=438\" class=\"no_underline timbuktu-test-class\" target=\"_blank\"><div class=\"timbuktu_banner_container image-included\"><div class=\"timbuktu_banner_layout_minimal\"><div class=\"timbuktu_banner\" data-entity-type=\"region\" data-country-id=\"70\" data-region-id=\"438\" >\n                    <figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/regions\/kodak_images\/000\/000\/438\/original\/iStock-155384430.jpg?w=150&h=150&auto=format&fit=min&dpr=2&q=50&crop=center center\"data-country-id=\"70\" data-region-id=\"438\" class=\"timbuktu_minimal_image\" alt=\"Iguazu Falls Image\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"timbuktu_banner_copy\"><div class=\"timbuktu_banner_heading\">Iguazu Falls<\/div><div class=\"timbuktu_button\" style=\"background-color:#128d8d\">Learn more<\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_12577\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/region\/salta-and-the-north-west-argentina-trip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12577\" class=\"wp-image-12577 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1439,height=960,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2022\/10\/argentina-country-guide-salta-1.jpeg\" alt=\"argentina country guide\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=900,height=600,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2022\/10\/argentina-country-guide-salta-1.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1439,height=960,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2022\/10\/argentina-country-guide-salta-1.jpeg 1439w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=375,height=250,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2022\/10\/argentina-country-guide-salta-1.jpeg 375w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=450,height=300,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2022\/10\/argentina-country-guide-salta-1.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=768,height=512,fit=crop,quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2022\/10\/argentina-country-guide-salta-1.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/quality=50,format=auto\/https:\/\/assets.timbuktutravel.com\/2022\/10\/argentina-country-guide-salta-1.jpeg 1420w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-12577\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Surreal Serran\u00eda de Hornocal mountains, The Northwest<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Salta &amp; The Northwest<\/h2>\n<p>In a country of photogenic landscapes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timbuktutravel.com\/country\/argentina-trip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">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.
