On our Ultimate Argentina Vacation, we’ll begin our journey in Buenos Aires, strongly influenced by European culture, before heading out to amazing Patagonia.

On our Ultimate Argentina Vacation, we’ll begin our journey in Buenos Aires, strongly influenced by European culture, it is sometimes referred to as the “Paris of South America.”

Buenos Aires is also a place for city tours for keen walkers: from the historic Plaza de Mayo dominated by the salmon-coloured Government House (Casa Rosada) where Eva Peron gave her famous speech to the late night Tango lessons, you will immerse yourself in the fabulous culture of the Porteños. Next we the visit Iguazu Falls and then the glaciers in Southern Patagonia, the sheer size of seeing the specatular Glaciers; God’s work at his or her best. There is a definite moon-like scenescape east of EL Calafate reminiscent of parts of New Zealand; huge open landscapes with desert-like vegetation, and in contrast, just turn west and everything changes facing Chile and the Andes, with beech trees, snow capped mountains and remarkable glaciers. Then we fly to Puerto Madryn is the entry point to this Central Patagonia rugged coastline. You will then drive a short distance to reach the Peninsula Valdes, famous for watching the Southern Right Whales and viewing other protected species, such as Sea Elephants, Sea Lions, Magellan Penguins, and countless marine bird species.
