Argentina Trips & Tours

Let Argentina capture your heart with glaciers, gauchos, glorious nature and great food & wine
As cliché as it sounds, Argentina truly has something for everyone - and how could it not? The enormous country - the eighth largest in the world, to be exact - encapsulates over 2.78 million square-kilometres where vibrant cities, sky-brushing mountains, endless pampas, glaciers, subtropical rainforests and gleaming lakes can all be discovered. Beyond the mesmerising scenery, there's plenty of activity too: head to Iguazu to marvel at one of Argentina's greatest natural spectacles, don your trekking boots and explore El Chaltén’s infinite trails, perfect your tango moves in Buenos Aires, hit the slopes in dreamy Bariloche or make the journey to the 'End of the World' in wild Tierra del Fuego. And while you’re at it, leave some space for some decadent wining and dining for this is the land of empanadas, asados, dulce de leche and bottomless Malbec. Need we say more, except perhaps, salud?

Did we mention Argentina is enormous? If you’re on a tight schedule, don’t try to do it all at once. The choices are endless and it's wise to prioritise where you go depending on your interests instead of rushing all around the map.

When to go on a Argentina Trip

Buenos Aires enjoys a lovely climate throughout the year, but the winter months of July and August are often favoured for their temperate conditions, while skiing begins in earnest by July and the Tango Festival takes place in August. Mendoza has a fantastic, Mediterranean climate but keep in mind that the Wine Festival falls within March. Salta and the Northwest enjoys clear skies and warm days in autumn (March - May) and, although the nights are chilly, it’s still lovely in winter. By spring (September - November), the Lake District is blooming with wildflowers while summer (December - February) means Patagonia becomes more accessible and enjoys longer days. Winter in Patagonia should be avoided as many facilities close and the temperatures are frigid. The area around Iguazu Falls is tropical, which remains pleasant all year but after the spring rains, the Falls are particularly spectacular.
Whale watching peaks in September and October at Peninsula Valdés, and penguins can be spotted in Patagonia from December to March. For Iguazú Falls, the best months are March to May and September to November, avoiding both the extreme heat and cold. Skiing in Bariloche and Mendoza is best from June to August. And if you love wine, you can taste it year-round! "

Argentina Safaris and Holidays

Essential information before you leave
Most travellers arrive and depart from Ministro Pistarini International Airport in Ezeiza, which sits approximately 32 km from the centre of Buenos Aires. There are flights available from the UK via Europe, the USA or Sao Paulo; while the USA offers a number of direct, daily flights (duration is between nine and 11 hours). Domestic flights are also very common with most leaving from Aeroparque Jorge Newbery in Buenos Aires, which offers flights to all provincial capitals and other major destinations. However, these flights can fill up quickly, especially during peak season so advanced booking is best. Taxis are readily available in main cities, but be sure of the rate and check the meter is turned on before you leave. Travelling to your hotel or more remote locations will mostly be done via a private transfer.
Recommended vaccines include Hepatitis A and B, typhoid, rabies and yellow fever (especially if you’re travelling to the Corrientes or Misiones provinces) and a booster shot for tetanus, diptheria and pertussis. Zika may be present in some areas of Argentina so using a DEET-based insect repellent is recommended. However, please consult your personal physician and/or a travel clinic preferably 6 weeks prior to your departure. Vaccine requirements vary based on your country of origin and your travel itinerary, as well as your previous vaccination history. It is best to consult with your physician or the CDC website for guidelines. While most hotels have a first aid kit, we advise taking a basic one of your own as well as any prescriptions / medication you may need. Tap water is considered safe to drink in Buenos Aires and other larger cities, however, the high mineral content may be unpleasant for some travellers. Overall, it’s safer to drink bottled water, which is readily available throughout the country and at hotels.
Money The currency used in Argentina is Pesos (ARS), however, US dollars are accepted in some hotels and tourist centres. Credit cards aren’t as widely accepted as they are in the USA or Europe, even in certain major hotels. Most cities have ATMs but they aren’t necessarily reliable, so it’s best to carry some cash with you. Gratuities Gratuities are not compulsory or expected; rather it is a reward for excellent service. If you are pleased with the service you have received, you are more than welcome to tip your guide or the staff. Tipping is usually done at the end of your stay. You may tip the staff individually, give the tip to the manager to distribute, or do both. Gratuities suggestions: Private guide: $10 per day Private driver: $3 - $5 per day Porters: $1 per bag Lodge staff: $20 per room per night (this can be distributed by the manager) Restaurants: In most upscale/tourist restaurants, 12% VAT and a 10% service charge is already included. For local restaurants, the service charge may not be included so a 10% tip is appreciated/appropriate (12% VAT is included).
Insurance It is a condition of booking that you carry the correct comprehensive travel and medical insurance to cover yourself, as well as any dependents/travelling companions for the duration of your trip. This insurance should include cover in respect of, but not limited to, the following eventualities: Compulsory Insurance: a. Emergency evacuation expenses b. Medical expenses c. Repatriation expenses Recommended Insurance: a. Cancellation or curtailment of trip b. Damage/theft/loss of personal luggage, money and goods
As a general precaution, we recommend you make several copies of your travel-related documents (passport, credit cards, itinerary, airline tickets, insurance cover, visas, etc). Leave one set at home, and bring another set with you, and place it in a location separate from your originals. You may need to present any relevant travel-related documents at any time on the trip. For anyone travelling from the EU, USA, UK, Canada and Australia, and remaining in Argentina for 90 days or less, a visa isn’t required. Be sure to double check that your passport is valid for the duration of your trip, extending a few weeks after that to be on the safe side. For anyone that requires a tourist visa, be aware that they cost $50. Please do contact the embassy in your home country to reconfirm visa requirements, as they change often. Visa Central is also a good resource for further information. As of 1 October 2023, anyone from the USA, Canada and Australia travelling to the Brazilian side of Iguazu Falls will require a Visa. To enter the country, all travellers must present the following: - Valid medical insurance that provides comprehensive coverage for the entire duration of the stay. - A return ticket or proof of onward travel out of Argentina. - Accommodation booking or the address of the place where they will be staying. Failure to provide any of these documents may result in denied entry, at the discretion of the immigration authorities.
Climate As you can guess from Argentina’s impressive length, its weather is just as diverse with a total of 11 different climate zones. These range from tropical areas in the Northeast to polar conditions in lower Patagonia. Needless to say, what you pack depends on where you plan to go and what you plan to do there. The below is a rough guide to get you started. What to pack: Clothing to suit your destination. This might include shorts, slacks, T-shirts, jeans or trousers, skirts or dresses, an all-weather jacket, and fleece sweater, socks, scarves and gloves. Comfortable walking shoes, sandals and waterproof hiking or snow boots. Sunscreen, sun glasses and a hat Hand sanitiser, insect repellent and toiletries Any medication needed and a first aid kit Backpack Reusable water bottle Cameras, batteries, electronics, chargers and adaptors. Argentina uses Type C and I plugs, and operates on 220V supply voltage and 50Hz. Luggage Please check with your airlines for the specific luggage restrictions relevant to your flight schedule. Many international airlines have a baggage allowance of 20kgs or more per person and commercial airlines generally permit two (2) pieces of checked luggage. The carry-on bag must be of such dimensions and weight as set by the airlines.
