Buenos Aires
You will begin your trip in the vibrant capital of Argentina, Buenos Aires, dubbed the ‘Paris of the South’ where you can spend your days taking in plenty of history, beautiful architecture and green spaces. 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.
Mendoza
Then a plane will take you to Mendoza, the land of the wine, to revel in some wine tours near the mountain range of Los Andes. After decades of hard work, the former desert of Mendoza became green, fertile land which is now renowned for its vineyards and wine production. The optimum conditions for grape cultivation are here, and some of the finest Argentine wines are produced here, with many vineyards open for visiting. The Andes mountain range can be seen from the entire Mendoza region, and Mount Aconcagua, which is the highest peak in the Americas, can be seen rising in the distance.
Lake District
You then fly south to the Lake District. Argentina’s Lake District is located on the northwestern edge of Argentine Patagonia. Jagged snow-capped mountains rise on all sides, with areas of dense emerald forest, rolling foothills, and large azure lakes making up the landscape. Bariloche is often described as having a picture-perfect postcard location, and is one of the principal towns in the Lake District. The nature here is as wild and raw as the weather, and the variety of landscapes make it the perfect destination for keen hikers.
Finish the trip in the outskirts of Buenos Aires in an Estancia, where you can simply relax and do some ranch and farm-related activities before returning home.
You will be met at Ezeiza Airport by one of our great English-speaking guides who will escort you in your private car to your hotel in the centre of the city.
