What is there to do in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina?
Exploring Tierra del Fuego National Park comes top, with trails like the Paseo de la Isla where aquatic birds paddle within easy spying distance. Hike out to the emerald water of Laguna Esmeralda, canoe across Patagonian lakes from Ushuaia, or visit picturesque Ensenada Bay for a slower afternoon at the water's edge. Between the walking and the paddling, you could easily fill several days at the bottom of the map.
What adventure activities can you do in Argentina?
Kayaking and rafting on the La Leona River top the adventure list, and horseback riding at Estancia la Estela comes close behind if you'd rather swap a paddle for a saddle. In El Calafate, a 4x4 hauls you up Cerro Frías without you breaking a sweat, and around Ushuaia you can slide a canoe across glassy Patagonian lakes. Hikers should head for the trail to Laguna Esmeralda in Tierra del Fuego.
Can you go wine tasting in Argentina?
Yes, and San Pedro de Yacochuya is the winery we'd point you towards for a tasting at the source. Argentina's drinks scene stretches beyond the grape, too: if you prefer your cup caffeinated, you can drink tea with an Argentinian alpine view, saucer balanced on your knee and peaks filling the window. Either makes a gentle counterpoint to bigger days out on the water or in the saddle.
Do you have to hike to enjoy Argentina?
Not at all: a 4x4 will carry you up Cerro Frías in El Calafate, no boots required. Horseback riding at Estancia la Estela lets the horse handle the legwork, and out on the water you can kayak or raft the La Leona River or canoe across Patagonian lakes near Ushuaia. Even the birdwatching is gentle, with aquatic birds to spy at strolling speed along the Paseo de la Isla trail.
