Take a look and tell us you don’t want to visit Argentina The South America Travel Specialist way!

A lot of the cliches about Argentina are, in the usual way of cliches, entirely true. They eat a lot of meat….those mouth-watering steaks, they like their wine too….all that full-bodied Malbec. They are intense as well….just see the passion on the terraces at a Boca Juniors football match, or in the passionate dance of the tango. Add to that the friendliness and hospitality of the people of Argentina, and a love of life, of sport and the outdoors and a cosmopolitan culture. Include in this the wide-open spaces of a big country and you have an intense place waiting to be discovered on a tailor-made Argentina Tour with South America Travel Specialist.

Argentina Tour Overview

Most of our tailor-made tours and Argentina experiences start and finish in Buenos Aires, and you wouldn’t want to miss it. Let South America Travel Specialists introduce you to some of the world’s best restaurants, with amazing value. Let us organise a city insider guide to taking you to little eateries and bars while discovering the real city. Buenos Aires has had a turbulent past and continues with challenges. Yet this creates a hip and edgy city, with faded grandeur and some cool, bohemian quarters full of art and design. The tango is an experience you must try. The dance was born in the steamy bordellos of La Boca port. Whether you’re in an exclusive theatre with a fine dinner and wine, a hidden backstreet bar, or on Argentina and Brazil Experiences having a lesson in a Buenos Aires milonga, you will see it everywhere. 

Just an hour out of Buenos Aires, exclusive suburbs lead to the historic ranches, known as estancias in this part of the world. This is the land of the gaucho. Now home to some of the worlds best polo teams and clubs, it is where lush prairies lead into the vast plains of the Pampas. You can even stay in an exclusive estancia for a few nights and experience the gaucho lifestyle.

Tropical Argentina & Iguazu Falls

Tropical Argentina is found in the far north, particularly in Misiones province by the border with Brazil. Experience one of the world’s great natural wonders at Iguazu Falls. These breathtaking waterfalls spread over several kilometres and hundreds of separate cascades through the rainforest. South America Travel Specialist suggest spending at least a few nights here on your Argentina tour in order to experience them properly. They are worthy of a longer stay experiencing the Atlantic Rainforest and to see the evocative ruins of the Jesuit missions. The Spirit of Argentina offers this and so much more!

The Andes

Argentina has thousands of miles of Andes mountains to discover, running all the way down the western spine of the country. In the far north, the Andes form high dusty plains, canyons and multi-coloured desert peaks. This really is Butch and Sundance country and is reached via the lively city of Salta.

Argentina Winelands

Stretching south from Salta towards Mendoza are the wine lands of Argentina, therefore an ideal place to take a luxury wine tour. These are the highest vineyards in the world and near South America’s highest mountain, Aconcagua. Live a bit of the good life on our Ultimate Argentina Tour. A tailor-made tour in this region can include staying in luxurious boutique wine lodges, plenty of exclusive vineyard visits and gastronomic feasts. As well as mountain adventures by car, on foot, on a bike or in white water.

Lake District

Bariloche and Argentina’s Lake District is where the Andes form a land of Alpine-style chocolate box scenery. Base yourself in a beautiful lakeside hotel and enjoy boat trips, walks, mountain biking and even skiing in winter. Bariloche and the nearby towns have a distinctly German and Swiss appearance, yet without the crowds of Europe. It’s also a region of amazing gastronomy.

Patagonia

Continue south into a wild and beautiful land of legend – Patagonia. The ancient Patagonia ice shelf covers towering mountain peaks, falling to glaciers and turquoise lakes. The Moreno Glacier is unmissable! You can stay the night with mesmerising views of the glacier from your room. Or in nearby El Calafate at one of the luxury ranches you are almost spoilt for choice. South America Travel Specialists can arrange a boat trip under the towering facade of the glacier or a trek with crampons on the top. Moreover, Patagonia is a walking and trekking Mecca, especially around El Chalten and by Mount Fitzroy. Add to this luxurious cosy lodges where you can enjoy the good life mixed with adventure. South America Travel Specialist Argentina Patagonia Passion is the perfect place from which to get your inspiration.

Experience the most southerly city in the world in Ushuaia! Located at the far tip of Argentina it’s indeed the end of the world. This is the fabled Tierra del Fuego, a land of high mountains and forests leading into the sea. Ushuaia sits on the Beagle Channel, linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, where early explorers dared to sail. It’s a true frontier town and a departure port for cruising to Antarctica. 

This massive country spreads up a long Atlantic coastline. The tiny settlement of Trelew is noted for its historic Welsh settlers. And Puerto Madryn is a fantastic base for whale watching.

In a Nutshell

Argentina is huge and has so much variety. When arranging your private tour to Argentina you could arrange an encompassing trip and cover it all, or perhaps you can select what fits your needs best and focus on a few regions in greater detail. Either way let South America Travel Specialists guide you to discover your passion. Go to Argentina and live life to the full.
