Buenos Aires (3 Nights)
The Paris of South America
Welcome to Buenos Aires, the city of Tango, Maradona and Evita Perón! A metropolis of more than 10 million inhabitants spread over 40 distinctive 
barrios, each with its own soul. From the 16th century a great stream of immigrants arrived from Italy, France and Spain, and you can still feel their presence in the neighborhoods where they settled. In La Boca you come upon the rich Italian culture of its inhabitants. In San Telmo you find the real Argentinean heartbeat — tango dancing in the streets and antique stores on every corner. Recoleta has a decidedly French feel, with elegant mansions, fine restaurants and a famous cemetery. Palermo is the up-and-coming neighborhood, buzzing with designer shops and grand green parks.
- Discover the City (north side): Discover the beauty and wonders of Buenos Aires on a 
private city tour through the northern highlights. Visit trendy Palermo and elegant Recolemagnificent Paris-style townhouses and the Recoleta Cemetery, where famous personalities are buried. Walk along Basilica del Pilar, and by the Public Law School, Floralis Genérica (an 18-ton metallic modern sculpture of a flower, 75 ft high), Parque Tres de Febrero, and the trendy Palermo neighborhood.
- Explore the City (southern side): Visit the highlights of the city, including Plaza de Mayo with Casa Rosada (Government building) and the Cathedral. Walk the widest avenue in South America — 9 de Julio Avenue — and stop at historic La Boca to stroll the famous Caminito alley and its colourful "Conventillos."
- Welcome Dinner, Authentic Asado Restaurant: An authentic Argentine welcome over sizzling parrilla and local wines at one of Buenos Aires' best traditional asado restaurants.
- Evening Tango Dinner Show (optional): Step into one of the city’s most celebrated tango venues for a world-class dinner show — passionate choreography, live orchestras, and a multi-course Argentine dinner paired with Malbec. An unforgettable cultural immersion and a photographer’s dream.
Salta (2 Nights)
Colonial Jewel of the Northwest
Situated in the Lerma Valley at 1,187 meters above sea level, Salta is the capital city of the homonymous province — one of the most fertile and beautiful sites created by nature in this region. At the foot of the 20 de Febrero and San Bernardo Mountains, the Hispanic architecture of the city stands out from every other in the country. The colonial spirit from the times of the foundation remains in its houses, streets, hundred-year-old monuments and narrow 
sidewalks surrounded by the mountains nearby. This is Argentina at its most atmospheric — a place where time moves slowly and the light turns everything golden.
- Discover Salta: See the Cathedral (1855) where Gral. Güemes, patriotic hero, rests; Cultural Center America, Historical Museum of the North (Town Council) with exhibitions of sacred art and rooms dedicated to old traditional families of Salta, San Francisco Church and monument to General Güemes. Ascend to San Bernardo Hill to enjoy the panoramic view of the city. Visit Batalla de Salta Monument, 20 de Febrero Park, and the summer village of San Lorenzo characterized by its subtropical microclimate. Finish at the Artisan Market, where craftsmen of the entire province expose their original crafts.
- Salinas Grandes, The Great Salt Pans: High on the Andean plateau, the blinding white expanse of Salinas Grandes forms one of the most striking landscapes of the Puna in Argentina. Under a vast blue sky, geometric salt patterns stretch across 46 square miles, punctuated by shimmering turquoise pools that appear like mirages in the high desert. The flats feature curious sights, including hand-carved salt sculptures and even a small restaurant built entirely from salt.
Cafayate (2 Nights)
Wine Country in the Calchaquí Valleys
Located at 1,660 meters above sea level, the village of Cafayate is celebrated for its famous Torrontes wine production. The right combination of temperature and humidity provides the ideal environment for the growth of the sweet and deep fruit flavor. Getting to know its streets, houses and people is a pleasant experience. One cannot miss the unique architecture of the Cathedral, the flowery main square, the picturesque stone mill, or a visit to one of the wine museums. The valley is framed by dramatic red-rock formations and endless vineyards — a landscape that begs to be photographed at every turn.
- Road Trip of Awe & Color to Cafayate: The journey starts from Salta city to the south through route 68, traversing the Lerma Valley and its historical
towns. We reach Quebrada de las Conchas (the Shell's Gorge), where wind and water erosion carved curious shapes on the rocks — The Amphitheater, Devil's Throat, The Toad, The Castles, among others.
A taste of the region: (Wineries!): Visit local wineries and taste their famous production of Torrontes, with unique characteristics from the local climate and soil.
- Relax in Cafayate: A full day to explore the village at our own pace — revisit a favorite winery, wander the main square, or simply relax among the vineyards.
Iguazu Falls (3 Nights)
The Roaring Edge of the World
Puerto Iguazú is famous for its breathtaking waterfalls situated on the border of Brazil and Argentina — the widest in the world. Between 160 and 260 individual cascades (depending on water level) span a staggering 2,700 meters. Standing where the Paraná and Iguazú Rivers meet, you can see three 
countries: Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. The surrounding Iryapú subtropical rainforest hums with exotic birdlife, butterflies, and coatis. This is nature at its most theatrical — raw power, mist-filled rainbows, and a soundtrack of thundering water that stays with you long after you leave.
- The Brazilian Falls: Visit Iguazú National Park on the Brazilian side, one of the largest vegetation reserves in Brazil. The footbridges offer dazzling panoramic views of San Martín Island and the most imposing waterfalls across the river on the Argentine side: Bosetti Falls, San Martín, & Tres Mosqueteros. Permanent rainbow formations appear in all directions, beckoning to be photographed.
- The Argentinean Falls: A full day exploring the vast subtropical wilderness of Iguazú National Park, where nearly 900 square miles of rainforest surround one of the world’s most spectacular waterfall systems. Easy, well-maintained walkways on the Upper and Lower Circuits bring us close to a series of thunderous cascades, offering dramatic viewpoints along the cliff edges and jungle canopy. The experience culminates at the immense Devil’s Throat, where a roaring curtain of water plunges into a mist-filled abyss.
- The Great Adventure: An adrenaline-charged way to experience the mighty Iguazú Falls, beginning with a thrilling zodiac-boat ride straight toward the crashing cascades for a soaking, up-close encounter with their raw power. From water level on the Iguazú River, the thunder and spray of the falls create an unforgettable perspective few visitors experience. The adventure continues with a scenic navigation upriver and a 4x4 truck journey along the jungle-lined Yacaratiá trail inside Iguazú National Park.
- The Dinner Experience: Celebrate our incredible journey together with exquisite food, wine, local culture, and a unique social experience. Travelers from all over the world gather around banquet tables led by charismatic guides and a friendly international team.

Optional Patagonia Extension
Ice, Giants & the End of the World
November 13th - 16th, 2026
"The very name Patagonia evokes images of the wild and remote — a place where nature operates on a scale so immense it humbles even the most seasoned traveler." Don't let your Argentina Adventure end without venturing south to the legendary glacier country of El Calafate, gateway to one of the most awe-inspiring natural spectacles on Earth. Over three unforgettable nights in the "Capital of the Glaciers," you'll witness towering walls of ancient ice calving thunderously into turquoise waters, navigate iceberg-studded channels aboard a Patagonian cruise, and feel the raw, untamed power of the southern Andes at the edge of the world. This is Argentina at its most primal and photogenic — a fitting grand finale to an extraordinary journey.
El Calafate (3 Nights)
Gateway to the Ice Giants of Patagonia
Perched on the windswept shores of Lago Argentino, El Calafate is the kind of place that stops you mid-sentence. Named after the calafate berry — legend has it that anyone who tastes the fruit is destined to return — this small Patagonian outpost punches impossibly above its weight. Beyond its dusty main street and cozy chocolate shops lies the crown jewel of southern Argentina: Los Glaciares National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage wilderness of ancient ice fields, cobalt lakes, and jagged Andean peaks. The air here carries a crispness that sharpens every sense, and the light — that legendary Patagonian light — paints the landscape in hues you didn't know existed.
- Perito Moreno, an Epic Glacier: Prepare to have your breath stolen. This colossal river of ice — stretching over three miles wide and towering up to 200 feet above the waterline — is one of the few glaciers on the planet that's still advancing. From a network of elevated walkways and viewing platforms along the Los Témpanos Canal, we'll spend hours mesmerized as enormous chunks of ice crack, groan, and calve spectacularly into the milky waters below. The thunderous roar of each collapse echoes across the lake like nature's own applause. A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Argentina's most iconic natural wonders, Perito Moreno is the kind of experience that stays with you long after you've left.
- Todo Glaciares: Cruise Through Patagonia’s Ice Giants: We set out from Puerto Punta Bandera and cruise deep into the northern arm of Lago Argentino, slipping through the narrow Boca del Diablo — "The Devil's Mouth" — before entering a world of floating ice cathedrals. The Upsala Glacier, the lake's largest, reveals itself from 12+ miles away like a frozen horizon, while the Spegazzini Glacier rises as the tallest of them all, its blue-veined face soaring above the waterline. Along the way, we'll drift past the Seco, Heim Sur, and Peineta glaciers, weaving between spectacular icebergs of staggering size and otherworldly shapes. After disembarking, a short forest trail leads to panoramic viewpoints over Glacier Bay, culminating at the Spegazzini Refuge — the perfect spot to take in the enormity of it all from a sun-drenched terrace at the edge of the ice.
