Argentina
Buenos Aires tango, Patagonian glaciers, Mendoza wines, and the thundering Iguazu from the Argentine side.
Overview
About this package
Eight days combining South America's two most electric cities — Buenos Aires' European boulevards, steakhouses and late-night tango halls, and Rio de Janeiro at its most alive, with beach afternoons and (seasonally) a taste of Carnival's samba parades. For travellers who want culture, rhythm and energy in equal measure. Add a horseback ride and asado lunch at a traditional gaucho estancia, and beach mornings at Ipanema, and eight days pair tango-fuelled nights with Rio's beachfront rhythm.
