travel specialists ready to design your escape
Argentina stretches from steamy jungles to icy Patagonian peaks, offering tango‑filled cities, Malbec vineyards, and crashing waterfalls. Explore glaciers and wildlife‑rich coasts, all wrapped in big‑hearted, proudly local hospitality.
Mountains, wine, and mighty waterfalls
Argentina is a country made for big journeys and unforgettable experiences. In Buenos Aires you can wander elegant boulevards, watch late‑night tango, and dine on steak, empanadas, and bold wine. To the north, Iguazú Falls thunders through tropical jungle, while Salta and Jujuy reveal red canyons, salt flats, and Andean villages. Wine lovers can sip their way around Mendoza’s vineyards beneath snow‑capped Andes, and, further south, Patagonia delivers turquoise lakes, the Perito Moreno Glacier, and jagged Fitz Roy peaks. Add whale, sea lion, and penguin encounters on the Valdés Peninsula, and Argentina feels endlessly rewarding.
Top Experiences
Argentina is dramatic, passionate, and packed with once‑in‑a‑lifetime moments. Think glaciers, tango, vineyards, waterfalls, pampas, and penguins.
Marvel at Iguazú Falls
Roaring cascades and misty rainbows
On the Argentine side of UNESCO‑listed Iguazú Falls, you can follow a network of walkways through lush jungle to multiple waterfall viewpoints, hearing the roar grow louder as you approach. The highlight is the catwalk out to Garganta del Diablo, the Devil’s Throat, where water thunders beneath you in a powerful, horseshoe‑shaped cascade. Between walks, you can spot butterflies, racoon-like coatis, and colourful birds, or add a boat trip to feel the spray up close. It is one of South America’s most unforgettable natural spectacles.
Walk on the Perito Moreno Glacier
Living ice, blue caverns, and Patagonian drama
In Los Glaciares National Park, you can see the mighty Perito Moreno Glacier advancing into Lago Argentino, a wall of blue‑white ice that regularly breaks with a thunderous crash. Walkways give you fantastic panoramic views, while boat trips bring you close to its towering face. For a real adventure, you can join a guided mini‑trek on the glacier itself, crunching over the ice and peering into crevasses. Feel the cold, clean air on your face in Patagonia at its most raw, spectacular, and photogenic.
Soak up Buenos Aires
Tango after dark, leafy plazas, and café culture
In Buenos Aires, you can wander elegant Recoleta, visiting its famous cemetery and grand avenues, then head to Palermo Soho for boutiques, street art, and buzzing restaurants. In La Boca, Caminito street museum’s colourful houses and tango dancers give you that classic postcard feel. Take a tour of the historic centre, step inside the magnificent Teatro Colón, and pause for medialunas, and coffee in traditional cafés. Evenings are for steak, Malbec, and tango shows, or simply strolling neighbourhoods that stay lively late into the night. The city feels proudly creative, romantic, and full of life.
Discover wild Patagonia from Ushuaia
End‑of‑the‑world views, penguins, and icy channels
In Ushuaia, the world’s southernmost city, you may feel like you have reached the edge of the map. Explore Tierra del Fuego National Park on gentle hikes through forests, lakes, and peat bogs, with views of snow‑tipped peaks, and the Beagle Channel. Boat trips take you past islands dotted with sea lions, seabirds, and, in season, penguin colonies. Some cruises venture further to glaciers and remote inlets. Back in town, you can warm up in cosy restaurants, museums, and bars, enjoying that special “end‑of‑the‑world” atmosphere.
Sip Malbec in Mendoza
Vineyards, Andean backdrops, and long, lazy lunches
Mendoza is Argentina’s premier wine region, famous for rich, bold Malbec. You can tour vineyards by bike, private car, or even on horseback, tasting different styles at elegant wineries framed by snow‑capped Andes peaks. Many bodegas offer superb farm‑to‑table lunches, pairing multiple courses with carefully chosen wines, and long, sunny afternoons on the terrace. Between tastings, you can explore Mendoza city’s leafy plazas, or add soft adventure such as rafting, hiking, and horse‑riding in the nearby mountains.
Steak, parrillas, and Malbec
Charcoal grills, generous portions, and big red wines
Argentina is famous for its asado, or grilling, culture, and trying a traditional parrilla (steakhouse) is a must. You can share cuts like sirloin, ribeye, and short ribs, cooked slowly over wood or charcoal, alongside chimichurri, crispy papas fritas, and simple salads. Pair everything with a glass (or bottle) of Malbec from Mendoza, or a lighter Patagonian Pinot Noir. From classic neighbourhood parrilla barbecues in Buenos Aires, to elegant wine‑focused restaurants in Mendoza, steak here feels like both a meal, and a ritual.
Empanadas, milanesas, and everyday favourites
Golden pastries and comfort plates
For a more casual taste of Argentina, you can snack on empanadas: baked or fried hand‑pies filled with meat, cheese, vegetables, or humita (seasoned sweetcorn paste). They are perfect with a glass of wine, or a cold beer. In simple cafés you will also find milanesa (breaded schnitzel), tortilla de papas (thick potato omelette), and hearty stews like locro. These unfussy favourites are what many Argentines eat day‑to‑day, and they offer a cosy, relaxed contrast to more formal steak dinners.
Dulce de leche, helado, and sweet treats
Bakery‑window temptation
Argentina has a serious sweet tooth, and you will see dulce de leche everywhere. You can enjoy it in alfajores (soft sandwich biscuits), churros, pastries, and cakes, or simply spooned over pancakes. Artisan ice‑cream parlours are another highlight, serving Italian‑style gelato in flavours like dulce de leche, bittersweet chocolate, and passionfruit. Pop into panaderías and confiterías (bakeries and patisseries) for medialunas and slices of cake. Building in a daily stop for coffee and something sweet is practically a national sport in Argentina.
Wine, picadas, and regional flavours
Cheese boards and mountain wines
Beyond steak, Argentina shines when you linger over a picada: generous boards of cured meats, cheeses, olives, and breads, ideal with wine. In Mendoza, you can sip Malbec, Cabernet, and Torrontés with vineyard views of the Andes. In Salta, and the northwest, try high‑altitude wines, paired with empanadas, tamales, and humitas wrapped in corn husks. Patagonia brings smoked trout, lamb, and craft beers into the mix. Tasting your way through different regions, and their wines, is a delicious way to understand Argentina’s diversity.
Gran Meliá Iguazú
Jungle views, front‑row falls
Set within Iguazú National Park on the Argentine side, Gran Meliá Iguazú is the only luxury hotel with direct, panoramic views of the falls from its rooms, infinity pool and terraces. Inside, contemporary interiors in soft neutrals let the rainforest and cascades steal the show, while suites add spacious balconies, freestanding tubs and RedLevel concierge perks. Guests drift between the spa, jungle trails and cocktails on the deck at sunset, when the mist and rainbows over Garganta del Diablo feel almost close enough to touch.
Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires
Recoleta city mansion
In elegant Recoleta, Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires blends a Belle Époque mansion with a sleek modern tower, creating a city retreat that feels both historic and sharply contemporary. Rooms and suites feature plush beds, marble bathrooms and views over the city or private gardens, with service that quietly anticipates everything from polo outings to last‑minute dinner reservations. A palm‑lined outdoor pool, destination steakhouse and handsome cocktail bar make it as appealing for post‑tango nights as for lazy, jet‑lag‑easing days.
Alvear Palace Hotel
Belle Époque grand dame
Also in Recoleta, the Alvear Palace is Buenos Aires’ most opulent belle‑époque address, all chandeliers, gilded mirrors and marble staircases. Rooms and suites are richly dressed in classic French style, with butler service in top categories and city views from upper floors. Guests can linger over silver‑service afternoon tea, Champagne breakfasts and fine‑dining dinners, then retreat to the spa or rooftop pool to watch the city glow below.
Awasi Iguazú
Private‑guide rainforest lodge
Tucked into Atlantic rainforest just outside the park, Awasi Iguazú is an intimate, all‑inclusive lodge where every villa comes with its own private guide and 4x4. Elevated, wood‑and‑glass villas hide among the trees, each with a plunge pool and generous deck that feels like a private canopy hideaway. Stays are fully tailored – from private visits to the falls at quieter times to boat trips and community experiences – with thoughtful, seasonal dining back at the main lodge rounding off each day.
Awasi Mendoza
Andean vineyard hideaway
Near the vineyards of the Uco Valley, Awasi Mendoza (Awasi Valle de Uco) offers a handful of stone and adobe villas scattered across a private reserve with big‑sky Andes views. Each villa has its own outdoor hot tub or plunge pool, fireplace and dedicated guide, so days can be shaped around winery visits, high‑altitude hikes or slow drives through the vineyards. Evenings bring refined, wine‑paired tasting menus and star‑filled skies, making it a deeply personalised, ultra‑boutique way to experience Argentina’s wine country.
