Andes Vacations

Visiting the Argentine Andes is like stepping into a different world – dramatic, remote, and full of natural beauty. Stretching along the country’s western edge, this vast mountain range offers everything from snow-capped peaks and high-altitude deserts to lush valleys and glacier-fed lakes.

In the north, around Salta and Jujuy, the Andes are colourful and rugged. Think red rock canyons, terraced vineyards, and traditional adobe villages with deep Indigenous roots. It’s a region steeped in history and local culture, where you can hike among cacti, sample high-altitude wines, and explore ancient ruins.

Further south, in the Lake District, the scenery softens into rolling hills, crystal-clear lakes, and alpine forests. Base yourself in Bariloche or San Martín de los Andes for days filled with kayaking, hiking, and wild swimming – or just take in the view with a glass of Malbec and a plate of smoked trout.

Patagonia brings it all to a dramatic finish. The southern Andes are wild and windswept, home to iconic peaks like Mount Fitz Roy and the vast Perito Moreno Glacier. Whether you’re trekking in El Chaltén or sailing past icebergs near El Calafate, the scale of the landscape is unforgettable.
