Argentina Honeymoon: Hiking, Landscapes and Glaciers
17 days from £4,637 pp
Our Argentina Honeymoon is a 17-day tailor-made adventure for couples who love the outdoors, from the peaks of Patagonia to the lakes and forests of the north. Hike beneath Fitz Roy in El Chaltén, ice-trek on the Perito Moreno Glacier, kayak and walk around Bariloche, then drive the Route of the Seven Lakes, with tango and Malbec in Buenos Aires at either end. Prices start from £4,637 per person, including hand-picked hotels, flights within Argentina, car hire and guided excursions. It’s a honeymoon for active couples who’d rather swap the sun lounger for a mountain trail.
Trip Highlights
- Ice-trek on the Perito Moreno Glacier
- Hike to Laguna de los Tres beneath Fitz Roy
- Kayak Lake Mascardi in Nahuel Huapi National Park
- Drive the Route of the Seven Lakes at your own pace

Argentina Honeymoon Itinerary: Day by Day
Day 1-2: Buenos Aires
Toast your wedding in Buenos Aires with two nights at a boutique hotel in the heart of the city. A local guide leads you on foot through the city’s historic barrios, and on another morning you’ll pedal through the parks of Palermo and the grand avenues of Recoleta on a private bike tour. Save your appetite for the evenings: a late dinner at a traditional parrilla is the city’s favourite way to celebrate.
Day 3-5: El Chaltén
Fly south to El Calafate and continue by road to El Chaltén, a small mountain village where the trails begin at the end of the street, for three nights at Destino Sur or similar. Start with an afternoon stroll to the Chorrillo del Salto waterfall, then choose your big day: with a guide, the challenging climb to Laguna de los Tres, where Fitz Roy’s granite towers rise above a glacial lake, or the valley walk to Laguna Torre, where icebergs float beneath Cerro Torre.
Day 6-9: El Calafate
Back down the road to El Calafate, your base for four nights at Kosten Aike, in the heart of town. The big day is on the Perito Moreno Glacier itself: after a short boat crossing, guides fit your crampons for a mini-trek across the ice, past deep blue crevasses and sculpted ice towers.
Another day takes you by boat across Lago Argentino, between drifting icebergs, to remote Estancia Cristina and a lookout high above the Upsala Glacier. Leave a day free to simply enjoy the views together.
Day 10-12: Bariloche
Fly north to Bariloche, in Argentina’s Lake District, for three relaxed nights at Cacique Inacayal or similar, on the shore of Lake Nahuel Huapi. Paddle Lake Mascardi with a guide in Nahuel Huapi National Park, walk the forest trails of Llao Llao Park to lakeside viewpoints, and treat yourselves to Bariloche’s famous chocolate and craft beer. It’s a gentler pace after Patagonia, with time to simply enjoy each other’s company.
Day 13-15: San Martin de Los Andes
Collect your hire car and follow the Route of the Seven Lakes north to San Martín de los Andes, stopping wherever a view or a lakeside picnic tempts you.
Three nights in San Martín, on the shore of Lake Lácar, give you time to get out on the water by kayak or boat, or walk the quiet trails of Lanín National Park among ancient araucaria trees, with Lanín Volcano’s perfect white cone watching over you.
Day 16-17: Buenos Aires
Drop off the car and fly back to Buenos Aires for a final night in the city. End your honeymoon with a tango show and a romantic dinner.

When to Go
Best time for an Argentina honeymoon
The best months for this honeymoon are November to March, when the trails around El Chaltén are open, the days are long and the Lake District is warm enough for kayaking and lakeside picnics. December to February is busiest, so book early. October and April are quieter, with spring flowers or autumn colours. Tell us your wedding date and we’ll plan around it.
