Classic Tour

Days 1 to 3: Buenos Aires

Explore Argentina's romantic and stylish capital. Take in the city's main highlights, including the colourful neighbourhood of La Boca and the burial place of Eva Peron, the famous Recoleta cemetery. Visit a tango show or experience a street performance whilst wandering around the markets. Visit the chic bars and restaurants of Palermo, including sampling Argentina's famous incredible steak.

Days 4 to 6: Lake District

Fly to breath-taking Bariloche in the heart of the stunning Lake District and spend some time taking in the charm of this laid back town. Pick up a hire car and drive around Nahuel Huapi lake to the picturesque town of Villa La Angustura. Take some free days to explore the region of deep blue lakes, snow-capped mountains and national parks with good walking, fishing and riding.

Days 7 to 11: Calafate and Los Glaciares National Park

Having dropped off your hire car fly further south into Patagonia to Calafate, gateway to the Los Glaciares national park, the home of the famous Perito Moreno glacier. Take two nights to give you time to visit the walkways for exceptional views of the glacier, take a boat trip to the glacier wall, or you might even want to try some ice-trekking! Hear the echoing sound of the glacier shifting, or experience a chunk of it breaking off and falling into the lake in front.

Once you have taken in enough of this extraordinary site, travel three hours north to El Chaltén, the perfect base for walks into the stunning Fitzroy National Park. The spectacular granite peaks of Cerro Torre and the glacial lakes of Fitzroy mountain dominate the surrounding landscape.

Day 12: Fly back to Buenos Aires for onward connections

Head home or add on additional days:

Estancia in the Pampas

Spend a couple of days on the fertile plains of the pampas. Several comfortable family-run estancias are within easy reach of Buenos Aires, and make the perfect place to relax before a flight home.

Peninsula Valdes

Following your trip to Calafate you could fly to Trelew and pick up a hire car for two nights in Puerto Madryn and two nights on the peninsula itself, where you can expect to see elephant seals, sea lions, Magellanic penguins and many birds. Whale-watching excursions to see southern right whales can be taken from the small town of Puerto Pirámides, and depending on the time of year you might be lucky enough to see Orcas.

Northern Argentina

Days 1 to 2: Buenos Aires

Days 3 to 5: Ibera Wetlands

Fly north to Posadas to stay in the Iberá Natural Reserve, on the banks of the Paraná river. Iberá is one of the largest wetlands in the world with wonderful wildlife including caiman, monkeys, capybara, deer, river otters and over 350 species of birds. Take excursions by boat, canoe and on foot. You can also fish for the elusive golden dorado if you desire.

Days 6 to 7: Iguazu Falls

Drive to the border with Brazil for the impressive Iguazú Falls and its sub-tropical forest abundant in wildlife. Walkways and a railway give excellent access to the different viewpoints from both the Brazilian and Argentine sides of the river.

Days 8 to 13: Salta

Fly from Iguazú to Salta and stay a night in the colonial city. After this pick up a hire car and drive south west to Cachi and explore the picturesque Andean villages and coloured canyons. Continuing south drive through the strange rock formations and colours of the Quebrada de las Flechas to Cafayate. Here visit nearby boutique wineries and Quilmes, an impressive fortress built around 1000 AD. On the final day return to Salta and fly back to Buenos Aires.
