Argentina Tours & South America
Trips around Argentina
If you are about a Argentina tours, you have a variety of options to choose from depending the number of available days for your trip. We have designed two kinds of combined trips to Argentina – the classic north to south trips and on the other hand, the first class trips. These itineraries last 30, 21 or 15 days. The main difference on these trips is transfers, tours and lodging. On classic trips, transfers are group transfers, whereas in first class, transfers are private. On classic trips we offer traditional tours, whereas on the VIP programs, it's exclusive group tours for sailing or private tours for half day or 1 day tours. Finally, on classic trips, hotels are 3 to 4 stars, whereas on first class tours you will stay at 4+ or 5 star hotels or boutique hotels.
Combined Argentina tours
If you prefer travelling to one or just a few destinations exclusively, you can choose a trip by region.
Our trips are divided into 5 regions:
Argentina's Regions:
- Buenos Aires and surroundings: Buenos Aires Province
- Falls and Wetlands: Provinces of Misiones, Corrientes and Entre Ríos
- Northwestern Region of Argentina: Provinces of Jujuy, Salta, Tucumán, Catamarca and La Rioja
- Central Region and Cuyo: Provinces of San Juan, Mendoza, San Luis and Córdoba
- Patagonia: Provinces of Río Negro, Neuquén, Chubut, Santa Cruz and Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego.
Combining Destinations...
You can choose trips around each region or you can also combine regions. For example, you can travel to Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls and Salta. In this last case, we recommend choosing among nearby destinations in order to keep flight costs low.
The best combinations are among Buenos Aires, Uruguay, and the Iguazu Falls or the Northwestern Region with the Central Region and Cuyo. Patagonia is very big, this is why we recommended getting to know Northern Patagonia thoroughly, including San Martín de los Andes, Bariloche, Esquel and Puerto Madryn, or going down directly as far as Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego in order to explore Southern Patagonia and El Calafate and El Chaltén.
Combinations of Tourist Destinations | Number of Days |
---|---|
BUE + IGR | 7 days |
BUE + ROU | 7 days |
BUE + IGR + RIO | 10 days |
BUE + IGR + SLA + JUJ | 14 days |
BUE + COR + UAQ + IRJ + MDZ | 14 days |
COR + MDZ + UAQ + IRJ + CTC + TUC + SLA + JUJ | 21 days |
BUE + IGR + SLA + JUJ + MDZ + UAQ + IRJ | 21 days |
Important Notice: We do not recommend trips less than 15 days long visiting over 5 destinations that are far in between. The reason is clear: First, you are going to spend over 4 days on connecting flights. Second, your trip will be too expensive considering the number of flight tickets and the little time available. And Finally, you will get to know very little at each place you visit. Although it seems to be obvious, this recommendation is not so obvious, since you can easily find offers for trips to Argentina (especially in Europe) where you can visit on the same trip: Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls, Salta, Mendoza, Puerto Madryn and Ushuaia or El Calafate in only 14 days! Bear in mind, Argentina is a big country and the distance between tourist destinations is pretty far.
Unusual Argentina tours: Blue Route and Route 40
Other 2 interesting options that are unusual: Taking the Bule Route along the Atlantic Ocean from Puerto Madryn to Monte León National Park or exploring wild and quiet Patagonia along Route 40, visiting El Calafate and Los Antiguos.
Trips around South America
We offer different programs around South America, such as full 45-day itineraries starting in Colombia, continuing in Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina and finishing in Uruguay and Brazil. Shorter itineraries with a lower number of days include Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina and Uruguay in 30 days. There are two even shorter options, such as Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina in 21 days, and Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay in 15 days.
These South American routes can be tailor-made according to customer's preferences. They can start either in Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Santiago de Chile, Bogotá or Lima. Notice that the higher the number of countries included in your itinerary, the highest the final price for the trip, due to international flight fares. This is why if you choose 2 or more countries to visit, we always recommend taking maximum advantage of your trip. Otherwise, just visit the main attractions on each region.
