Your Trip to Argentina

Argentina's Patagonia is a stunning and diverse region that boasts some of the most spectacular natural scenery in the world. From towering mountains and icy glaciers to crystal-clear lakes and rugged coastline, Patagonia offers endless opportunities for adventure and exploration, infused with rich cultural heritage and vibrant local communities.

Scenset travel curator

Nestled within the Andean foothills, a picturesque city in Argentina is known for its Swiss-style architecture, serene landscapes, and picturesque lakes, giving it the nickname "South America's Little Switzerland". Further south lies a gateway to the glacial wonders of Patagonia; its main attraction being the majestic Perito Moreno Glacier. Both areas offer a unique blend of natural beauty and adventure, with opportunities for hiking, horseback riding, and kayaking while the other provides opportunities for ice trekking and witnessing the awe-inspiring phenomenon of glacier calving.
