Intensely bold, colourful and beautiful, Argentina is a heady mix of everything a traveller seeks.
Hit the ground running in the thriving capital city of Buenos Aires. Be thrown into a world of tango, brightly-hued houses, char-grilled steaks, fútbol, wine and a cornucopia of museums. From the hustle of Buenos Aires, make your way to the Argentinian Lake District to explore Barlioche, a lakeside city famous for its hiking trails, and fly-fishing and sailing.
Take the pace down a notch as you head south into the snowy mountains of Argentinian Patagonia to El Calafate. The town is considered the gateway to the Los Glaciares National Park, home to the Perito Moreno Glacier, a crackling wall of ice that’s surprisingly accessible.
Further on in the Atlantic Patagonia, a remarkable place of magnificent fjords and glittering bays, the famed Peninsula Valdes awaits. Known for its marine life and the crystal clear waters of Puerto Madryn, it often offers surprises like orcas that beach themselves to hunt sea lions.
In a manner truly befitting an Argentinian holiday, finish off in the Uco Valley, famed for its wine. Sip on Semillon, Malbec, Bonarda and Barbera in the foothills of the Andes as you take in the gorgeous surrounds, and let Argentina slowly capture your heart.
