Itinerary / more information

  • Day 1, Buenos Aires
    Bienviendos a Argentina! Upon arrival into the international airport you will be met and transferred to your hotel where the rest of the day can be spent at leisure.
    No meals included.
    Day 2, Tango in BA
    Often labelled the 'Paris of South America', Buenos Aires, or simply BA, is a seductive mix of elegant architecture, characterful residents and fantastic entertainment options. This morning join a scheduled city tour taking in the Neoclassical Metropolitan Cathedral, the unusual dusty pink Government House and the history-packed Plaza de Mayo. Head to the neighbourhood of San Telmo where street performers gather to display the sensuous dance of tango, and continue to La Boca, a colourful suburb popular with local artists. Wander the attractive streets of Palermo until you reach Recoleta and the famous cemetery of the same name. The rest of the afternoon is free for you to explore Buenos Aires your way - why not wander further in search of the city's striking street art?

    Later in the evening you will be collected from your hotel for a scheduled transfer to Caf? de Los Angelitos for a night of love, passion, madness and glamour with a traditional tango show. Born in the brothels of the 1920s, Argentine tango is a completely improvised dance and attracts both the old and the young.

    Day 3, El Calafate
    Buenos Aires - El Calafate. After breakfast transfer to the airport for your flight to El Calafate, the starting point for excursions to one of Argentina's most famous natural wonders - the Pertio Moreno glacier. On arrival, scheduled transfer to your hotel. Remainder of day free.
    1 breakfast, no lunch, no dinner included.
    Day 4-5, Perito Moreno Glacier
    Measuring 30km in length, the monstrous Perito Moreno glacier is a jagged mass of crevasses and towering columns of ice. It's also unusual in the sense that it is actually growing in size and constantly moving forward. Today enjoy a full day scheduled excursion beginning at Brazo Rico where you will be able to spot floating icebergs and continuing with a nautical safari on Rico Lake for spectacular views of the ice walls.

    The following day offers a chance for you to continue exploring the southern sector of Parque Nacional los Glaciares independently or enjoy some downtime at Lago Argentino.

    Day 6, Ushuaia
    El Calafate - Ushuaia.

Upon arrival a scheduled transfer will take you to your hotel. Remainder of day at leisure.
    1 breakfast, no lunch, no dinner included.
    Day 7, Tierra del Fuego
    Argentina's first coastal national park is a spectacular expanse of wild, forested peaks, pristine blue lakes and vast tundra. Taking National Route 3 as part of a scheduled tour you'll discover some of the park's most stunning natural sights including Pipo River, Ensenada Bay, Redonda Island, Roca Lake, Verde and Negra Lagoons and Castores Dam. Rich in flora and fauna, the park also offers ample variety of wildlife. Later in the afternoon board a ship in Ushuaia Bay for a scheduled cruise on the Beagle Channel. The cruise will reveal excellent views of Ushuaia as well as Olivia Mount and the Encajonado River. You'll also see Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse and pass Pajaros Island where sun-seeking penguins and fur seals come to rest on the pebbly shores.
