Tailor-made holidays in Argentina

Imagine Argentina. Here you will find the stylish Buenos Aires, the wide open spaces of southern Patagonia with its enormous glaciers (see picture), the magnificent Iguazú Falls, the pampas, not forgetting Mendoza and the wine regions.

“Specialist advice at no more than the cost of booking direct”

As the world’s eighth-largest country, slightly smaller than India and the second largest country in Latin America after Brazil, Argentina’s diversity can satisfy almost any holiday interest. Ride, ski, fish, eat and drink!

Argentina is where the South American continent tapers to a tip, pointing towards Antarctica. Argentina is a geographical jewel. Its name is derived from the Latin root for silver (Spanish settlers’ had misguided hopes of finding precious metals). Its capital, Buenos Aires, is famous for the tango, effortless chic and beauty.

To the west is the ‘gaucho’ homeland of the flat green pampas stretching beyond the horizon. To the north, the legendary Iguazú Falls are half the height again of the Niagara Falls and nearly four times as wide. Along the western border with Chile, higher than Mt Mckinley in Alaska, the Andean summit of Aconcagua is the official “Roof of the Americas.” Then there are the wine regions of Mendoza, the ruins-rich canyon of the Quebrada de Humahuaca in the northwest another World Heritage Site as well as the Falls. In the southern region of Patagonia, there’s the wildlife-packed Atlantic coastline of the Valdés Península, the aboriginal rock art of Cueva de las Manos (Cave of Hands) and the extraordinary Perito Moreno glacier, a creaking river of ice that’s a feast for the eyes and the ears, the only glacier in the world which is advancing, not retreating.
