This is a journey of a lifetime, one that sets itself apart from all other trips given the outstanding natural beauty, the impressive distances, and the stunning diversity of the landscape. You'll get a taste of Argentina's classic cultural flare in Buenos Aires, kayak along glacier-fed lakes in Bariloche, ice-trek on a glacier in El Calafate, and hike unmarked trails of Torres del Paine National Park.
Natural wonders, a sharp European edge and Gaucho traditions are what define Argentina. Its proud, laissez-faire character flaunts a notorious love of life across its massive territory. The dramatic landscapes of Patagonia, delicious eclectic dishes, well-preserved gaucho culture and elaborate Tango moves make up for Argentina’s relatively short history. Its elegant mansions, traditional estates and wide avenues recall a European influence that complements the vibrant Latino lifestyle.
