Where to go in Argentina
Buenos Aires
Most journeys begin in Buenos Aires, giving you a few days to settle in before heading into the wider country. It’s a friendly city, with streets that are easy to navigate. Palermo and Recoleta work well for first‑timers, and San Telmo suits anyone who prefers older architecture or quieter corners. Evenings here run from gourmet restaurants to cocktail bars and tango shows.
Iguazú Falls
A short flight north takes you into subtropical forest. You can wander the park’s jungle trails, then follow walkways that take you right out over the falls, close enough to feel the mist.
Mendoza & Wine Country
West of Buenos Aires, vineyards stretch towards the Andes. The wineries have dining rooms and outdoor terraces which play host to decadent lunches. Your typical day here involves a couple of winery visits, a long lunch, and drives between the valleys, with stunning views of the Andes common throughout.
The Northwest (Salta & Jujuy)
Further north, the scenery shifts to red rock, salt flats and small Andean towns. The roads are long and quiet, making it easy to cover distance by car. You’ll spend time between Andean towns nestled within valleys and among viewpoints sitting high above the salt flats.
Patagonia
The Lake District is the gentler side of Patagonia with forested hills, clear lakes and walking trails. It’s ideal for families and travellers who want scenery without harsh conditions. The lodges are cozy and carefully maintained, often run by locals who spend much of their time on the trails. Further into Patagonia, the landscape is more rugged. El Calafate is the base for visiting the Perito Moreno Glacier, while El Chaltén is the hiking centre, with walks that give you breathtaking views of Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre.
Peninsula Valdés & Iberá Wetlands
On the Atlantic side, wildlife is the main draw. You’ll spot whales off Peninsula Valdés, and capybara and caiman in Iberá’s wetlands. Condors are most often seen in the Andes. Both of these regions are defined by wildlife and open country, with little urban activity.

What to do in Argentina
See Argentina’s unique wildlife
Peninsula Valdés is one of the best places in South America to see whales, with regular sightings from both land and boat. Iberá’s wetlands offer a quiet, open landscape where capybara graze along the banks and caiman warm themselves in the sun. In the Andes, condors can be seen gliding high above the valleys. The variety makes Argentina an easy country for wildlife‑focused travel.
Visit the Perito Moreno Glacier
The immense scale of the glacier becomes clear when you’re standing in front of it, listening to the ice shift and crack. A short ice trek gives active travellers a chance to step onto the glacier itself, while boat trips take families along the face of the ice for a closer look at the deep blue walls and the occasional calving.
Take Scenic Walks & Hikes
At Iguazú, the raised walkways give you close views of the falls and a sense of their scale, the Lake District offers gentle routes along the water and through the forests, while El Chaltén has higher trails that lead to clear views of Fitz Roy and the surrounding peaks. There’s a mix of easy paths and challenging hikes, all set against some of the country’s most striking scenery.
Stay on an estancia
Spend a few days on a working ranch and get a feel for gaucho life in the pampas or Patagonia. You can ride out with ranch hands, explore the surrounding land on foot, or watch daily routines. Meals are generous and home‑cooked, eaten outside when the weather allows. It’s a calm break between flights and a good way to see rural Argentina up close.
Wine tours in Mendoza
Mendoza is Argentina’s premier wine region, expect rich Malbecs, robust Cabernet Sauvignons, and try food-friendly Bonarda wines. Vineyards will often pair tastings with multi‑course lunches. Food is generous and local, with premium beef sourced from nearby ranches, accompanied by fresh produce and pasta.
Explore Buenos Aires with a local guide
A guided visit helps you make sense of this vibrant city. Discover the older neighbourhoods, the immigrant history, the politics that shaped it, and the role tango plays. Walking with someone who knows the streets well gives you a clearer feel for how the city fits together and takes you into places most visitors pass straight by.
