Crafting Argentina Experiences · One Journey at a Time
From the cosmopolitan streets of Buenos Aires to the thundering cascades of Iguazú Falls and the icy vastness of Perito Moreno Glacier, this 8-day Argentina tour captures three of the country’s greatest wonders in one seamless journey. Culture, nature, and adventure — Argentina at its most essential.
Your driver meets you at the airport and takes you directly to your hotel in Buenos Aires. The rest of the day is yours to explore at your own pace. Buenos Aires is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city bursting with color, architecture, and energy — often called the Paris of South America, it has a spirit entirely its own. Wander the streets of Palermo or San Telmo, find a corner café, and let the city set the tone for the adventure ahead.
Overnight in Buenos Aires.
Meals included: None.
Today you explore Buenos Aires with a guided city tour that takes you through the city's most iconic neighborhoods. In the evening, you'll be picked up from your hotel and taken to a professional tango show — a 3-hour performance by local artists in an elegant and atmospheric venue, bringing to life the passion and history of Argentina's most beloved dance. The evening includes a dinner paired with premium Argentine wine, including the renowned Malbec.
Duration: City tour half day + evening tango show.
Overnight in Buenos Aires.
Meals included: Breakfast, Dinner.
This morning you say goodbye to Buenos Aires and board your flight south to El Calafate, the gateway to Patagonia. Upon landing, you'll be transferred to your hotel and have the rest of the day free to explore this charming town on the shores of Lake Argentino — the largest lake in Argentine Patagonia. El Calafate is known as the capital of the glaciers, and tomorrow you'll understand why.
Flight: Buenos Aires to El Calafate (not included, arrangeable on request).
Overnight in El Calafate.
Meals included: Breakfast.
One of the great natural spectacles on Earth awaits. Perito Moreno Glacier — 5 kilometers wide and rising 60 meters above the surface of Lake Argentino — groans and calves in real time as you watch from the iconic network of walkways and viewing platforms. You'll then board a boat to sail along the glacier's towering face, close enough to feel the cold radiating off centuries of compressed ice. This is one of the few glaciers in the world that is still advancing.
Duration: Full day.
Overnight in El Calafate.
Meals included: Breakfast.
Not included: National Park entrance fee.
Today you leave Patagonia behind and fly north to Puerto Iguazú, the small border town that serves as the gateway to Iguazú Falls — one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Upon arrival, you'll be transferred to your hotel and have the rest of the day to settle in and enjoy the tropical atmosphere of this lush, humid corner of Argentina.
Flight: El Calafate to Puerto Iguazú (not included, arrangeable on request).
Overnight in Puerto Iguazú.
Meals included: Breakfast.
This morning you head into Iguazú National Park to experience the falls from the Argentine side. The subtropical forest surrounding the park is home to diverse wildlife including toucans, parrots, and coatis. A system of walkways and platforms brings you face-to-face with the falls at every angle — and ultimately to the edge of Devil's Throat, the most powerful and dramatic section of this extraordinary natural wonder.
Duration: Full day. Overnight in Puerto Iguazú. Meals included: Breakfast. Not included: Iguazú National Park Argentina entrance fee.
Today you cross into Brazil to discover Iguazú Falls from the other side. While the Argentine side puts you inside the falls, the Brazilian side reveals their full, breathtaking scale — the panoramic views from the walkways show you what you couldn't see from within. Don't forget your passport for the border crossing. In the afternoon, you'll be transferred to the airport for your flight back to Buenos Aires, where the evening is yours to enjoy in the city.
Duration: Full day.
Overnight in Buenos Aires.
Meals included: Breakfast.
Not included: Iguazú National Park Brazil entrance fee. A visa is required to enter Brazil for citizens of Australia, Canada, the United States, and Japan — check requirements before travel.
At the appropriate time, your driver will collect you from your hotel and take you to the airport for your departure flight. Eight days, three destinations, and a country that will stay with you long after you've landed back home.
Transfer: Private driver to airport. Meals included: Breakfast. Not included: International departure flight.
The tour covers three nights in Buenos Aires, two nights in El Calafate, and two nights in Puerto Iguazú, with all transfers, daily breakfasts, and the tours described in the itinerary included. A bilingual English/Spanish guide accompanies you throughout. The tango dinner show in Buenos Aires and the Perito Moreno Glacier tour and cruise are also included. Domestic flights between cities are not included in the base price but can be arranged on request.
Yes — to visit the Brazilian side of the falls you will cross an international border, so a valid passport is required. Citizens of Australia, Canada, the United States, and Japan need a visa to enter Brazil. We strongly recommend checking your country's requirements with the Brazilian Consulate well before your travel date. To visit the Brazilian side on Day 7, you must arrive into Puerto Iguazú by 11:30 a.m. or earlier, so flight timing matters.
The tour operates from October through April, which is the ideal season for both Patagonia and Iguazú Falls. During this period, weather conditions are most favorable for outdoor activities across all three destinations. Iguazú Falls can be visited year-round, but the Patagonian section is best between October and April when access to Los Glaciares National Park is fully open. We recommend booking in advance, particularly for December and January travel.
This is a low-to-moderate itinerary suitable for most travelers. The Perito Moreno Glacier visit involves walking the park's boardwalk network and a boat cruise — no hiking required. The Iguazú Falls tours are full days on foot along well-maintained park walkways in a subtropical environment, so comfortable shoes and sun protection are essential. The tango show and city tour in Buenos Aires are entirely relaxed. No previous hiking or adventure experience is needed.
