Argentina is one of those countries that rewards a proper journey. In just under two weeks, you can move from Buenos Aires’ grand boulevards and late-night tango culture to the rainforest of Iguazu, the vineyards of Mendoza and the glacial landscapes of Patagonia.
Begin in Buenos Aires, a city shaped by European immigration but unmistakably Latin American. Explore Recoleta and Palermo, eat at a traditional parrilla, visit a milonga and see how tango still forms part of the city’s cultural identity.
Buenos Aires also has one of the most established LGBTQ+ scenes in Latin America, with gay-friendly bars, clubs and same-sex tango spaces woven into neighborhoods across the city.
From there, fly north to Iguazu Falls, where hundreds of cascades cut through subtropical rainforest on the Argentine-Brazilian border. Then head west to Mendoza, Argentina’s most famous wine region, where Malbec is grown in the shadow of the Andes and long lunches are as important as the tastings themselves.
The final chapter is Patagonia. Based around El Calafate, you will explore the immense Perito Moreno Glacier and the open landscapes of southern Argentina.
This 11-day itinerary brings together four very different sides of the country, with private guiding, carefully chosen hotels and internal flights arranged throughout.

Don't forget that most of our itineraries can be totally customized. Our expert team will be able to talk you through all the options.
Days 1-3: Buenos Aires
Start in Buenos Aires, staying in either Recoleta or Palermo. A private guide introduces the city through its boulevards, historic cafés, galleries and neighborhoods, but the best part is seeing how quickly the city shifts in character from one district to the next.
Tango should be part of the trip, whether that means an intimate performance or a private lesson. Food matters just as much. Visit local markets, taste Argentine wines and leave room for a proper parrilla dinner rather than trying to squeeze everything into one day.
Buenos Aires is also one of Latin America’s most established LGBTQ+ destinations, with gay-friendly bars, restaurants and milongas spread through areas including Palermo and San Telmo.
Days 4-5: Iguazu Falls
Fly north into the subtropical rainforest for two days at Iguazu. On the Argentine side, the upper and lower trails take you through the national park towards different sections of the falls, with the route to Devil’s Throat bringing you closest to their sheer force.
This is one place where the usual photographs do not really prepare you for the scale. The sound arrives before some of the views do, and by the time you reach the main viewpoints you are close enough to feel the spray.
Stay in the rainforest, take the ecological train through the park and, if you want another perspective, add a helicopter flight.
Days 6-8: Mendoza Wine Country
Mendoza is where the pace changes. Stay among the vineyards with the Andes on the horizon and spend the next few days exploring two of Argentina’s most important wine areas: Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley.
The focus is naturally on Malbec, but the experience is as much about the setting and the food as the wine itself. Meet winemakers, taste from the barrel and settle in for long winery lunches with paired wines.
There is time to balance the tastings with a spa afternoon or a picnic among the vines. Mendoza works particularly well after Buenos Aires and Iguazu because the pace is completely different.
Days 9-11: Patagonia (El Calafate & Los Glaciares National Park)
Finish in El Calafate for access to Los Glaciares National Park and the Perito Moreno Glacier.
See the glacier first from the network of viewing balconies, then get closer by boat or, if conditions and your itinerary allow, on a guided ice experience. The appeal of this part of Patagonia is not only the glacier. Beyond it are open steppe, ranching landscapes and a sense of distance that feels very different from anywhere earlier in the trip.
Horseback riding and private hikes can be added, but there is also something to be said for ending the journey slowly, with a good lodge, a fire and a final few days looking out across Patagonia.
