Argentina is a land of contrasts that never ceases to amaze. The many natural wonders are breathtaking and marvellously unspoiled. Subtropical rainforests and spectacular waterfalls in Iguazu, the immense Perito Moreno Glacier, the sparkling lakes and rolling green hills of the Lake District, salt flats and cloud forest jungle near Salta, whales basking in the bay at Peninsula Valdes, and of course the miles of gaucho (cowboy) filled Estancia country for which Argentina is so famous. With the combination of all this natural beauty, together with one of the most buzzing and cosmopolitan capitals in South America, delightful colonial towns, a luxurious wine region and a population of friendly and welcoming people, you really can’t go wrong with a trip to Argentina. It truly has something for everyone.

You will begin your trip in the vibrant capital of Argentina, Buenos Aires, dubbed the ‘Paris of the South’. Buenos Aires is a thriving, colourful, and bustling city. A blend of old-meets-new architecture, with colonial style and vibrant baroque buildings sat next to contemporary skyscrapers. A chequered history of occupation and independence has created a city with interesting and enlightening museums, as well as art galleries, independent cafes and restaurants, theatres, and a renowned nightlife.

El Calafate/Los Glaciares National Park

You then fly south to El Calafate, on the edge of the stunning Los Glaciares National Park, to spend time at the incredible Perito Merino Glacier. Los Glaciares National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its outstanding natural beauty and national importance. The park is a beautiful mixture of jagged mountains, towering glaciers, and turquoise lakes.

Huge blue icebergs floating on the milky waters, deep cracking sounds reverberate through the mountains as huge pieces of ice fall into the lake. One of the main glaciers, the Perito Moreno Glacier, will leave you breathless. El Calafate is a small city on the edge of the Los Glaciares National Park, with its own glaciers, gastronomy, climate, and landscape which has made it a key point of Argentine Patagonia in its own right.

Iguaza Falls

After boarding a plane, you will be taken to see one of the new modern wonders of the world, the Iguazu Waterfalls. During your stay in Puerto Iguazu, you will have the time to visit the falls on both the Argentinean and Brazilian sides, offering two completely different and amazing perspectives. 275 drops stretching almost 3km in width make up the Iguazu Falls.

A handful of islands break the river above into many different currents, the tallest of which being the Garganata do Diabo (nicknamed The Devil’s Throat). Protruding ledges break many smaller waterfalls creating a mist which rises almost 500 feet, and resulting in a range of rainbows. The falls are surrounded by rainforests which are home to a breathtaking array of plants, over 400 species of bird, and interesting animals such as anteaters, ocelots, jaguars, and howler monkeys.; Four Seasons Buenos Aires
