Discover Argentina
A Country of Grand Gestures
Argentina is a country of grand gestures: a late-night city that moves to the beat of bandoneóns, wine valleys framed by the Andes, and a southern wilderness where ice thunders into turquoise lakes. Start in Buenos Aires, where Palermo's design boutiques and San Telmo's cobbled streets lead toward candlelit parrillas and the velvet drama of tango. Then fly north to Iguazú Falls — a roar of rainforest and mist, best felt from the walkways above Garganta del Diablo.
In Mendoza, your days unfold between high-altitude vineyards in Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley, with long lunches and skyline views of Aconcagua. In the northwest, the Quebrada de Humahuaca paints the desert in fourteen colours. And then Patagonia delivers the final act: Perito Moreno's electric-blue wall and the granite needles of Mount Fitz Roy above El Chaltén.
Argentina is the natural companion to our Peru itineraries — many of our clients combine both. The cultural depth, the food, and the sheer scale of the landscapes make it one of the most rewarding countries we work with. Our Buenos Aires partners are foodies and tango aficionados who know the city's hidden milongas, and our Patagonian guides have trekked every trail in Los Glaciares.

Signature Experiences
Must-Do in Argentina
The experiences that define a journey here — each one designed to be more than a tick on a list.
Attend a tango show in a historic San Telmo milonga, or take a private lesson and learn the steps on the same floors where tango was born.
Stand above Garganta del Diablo as 1,500 m³ of water per second plunge into the abyss — the most powerful waterfall system on Earth.
Spend a day cycling between Luján de Cuyo wineries, tasting high-altitude Malbec with the Andes as your backdrop and a vineyard lunch.
Strap on crampons and walk across the surface of Perito Moreno Glacier — one of few advancing glaciers left on Earth.
Hike to Laguna de los Tres for the iconic sunrise view of Mount Fitz Roy's granite needles glowing pink above the lagoon.
Experience a traditional Argentine asado — slow-grilled beef, chorizo, morcilla, and Malbec — at a family estancia or Buenos Aires parrilla.
Planning
Best Time to Visit
March–May and September–November are ideal for Buenos Aires and Mendoza (comfortable weather, jacarandas in spring). November–March is prime for Patagonia (long days, mild temperatures). Iguazú is year-round but most dramatic with high water in March–May.
