In our opinion the greatest waterfalls on earth, the sheer scale and diversity of Iguazu’s network of earth-shattering cascades warrants a minimum of two full days to explore. Surrounded by tropical rainforest and an array of wildlife, this is one of Mother Nature’s most impressive pieces of work.
The last trip we took before Covid hit was to explore the mind-blowing landscapes from Salta. Glistening salt flats, red rock canyons, towering white sand dunes, multicoloured lagoons, bizarre pumice stone fields. This is a harsh high-altitude land, but the rewards are beyond spectacular.
One of the most accessible glaciers on earth, this immense wall of ice is also a modern rarity in that it is continuously advancing. Its 5km wide face edges forward at up to 2m each day, causing building-sized icebergs to collapse in front of your eyes… particularly thrilling if you visit by kayak!
Luxury holidays in Argentina are never complete without tasting the world-famous Malbecs and Cabernets of Mendoza. You can visit several top vineyards a day in this town. It is also home to the country’s finest selection of boutique luxury spa hotels and restaurants, making it the ultimate spot to relax and indulge after all your adventures.
Patagonia’s breathtaking beauty draws crowds, but its vast size means a few days of undisturbed wilderness can be easily arranged. Several of our favourite and most unique lodges that feature on our eco tours in Argentina specialise in providing this immersive experience, helping you get back to nature in blissful comfort and peace.
Whilst we mainly focus on natural wonders here, there is no disputing that Buenos Aires is one of the most vibrant and charismatic cities on the planet. Nothing captures this better than an evening of sultry Tango, succulent steak and smooth Malbec. The perfect way to begin or end your adventure.

Argentina has a population of 45 million, with 15 million residing in the capital Buenos Aires.
Argentina’s standard time zone is GMT -3.
The Argentine Peso (ARS) is the national currency.
Whilst Argentina is epic in scale and a land of real contrasts, most of the country can still be visited year-round. The exception is winter in Patagonia (May to August), which should be avoided unless you plan to go skiing.
December to February is the peak summer season, whilst shoulder seasons either side offers good weather and some spectacular natural scenery.
If including Patagonia in your plans you should book at least six months in advance, and potentially up to a year if visiting in the peak season from Christmas to February.
Elsewhere in the country, later bookings should be possible if avoiding that summer peak period.
