At a glance
Argentina is a country of dramatic contrasts, and nowhere is that more evident than on a journey that ends in Antarctica.
This itinerary brings together the very best of the country, from the energy and elegance of Buenos Aires to the raw natural power of Iguazu Falls and the vast landscapes of Patagonia, before continuing to the southernmost edge of the world.

The final stage of the journey begins in Ushuaia, where you board an expedition cruise to Antarctica.
Over the following days, you will explore a remote and extraordinary environment shaped by ice, wildlife, and silence, with each landing offering a new perspective on one of the most untouched places on Earth.
Every element of the journey is carefully arranged, from internal flights and private transfers to handpicked hotels and your Antarctic expedition.
The result is a seamless, once-in-a-lifetime experience that combines iconic destinations with one of the most exclusive travel experiences available today.
What makes this journey truly exceptional is the way it builds to a natural endpoint at the edge of the world. You move from the energy of Buenos Aires to the scale of Iguazu Falls, then into the vast emptiness of Patagonia, before reaching Ushuaia where the landscape quite literally runs out. From there, Antarctica is not just another destination but a continuation into something far more remote and rarely experienced.
Day by day
This is a sample plan, not a fixed departure. Days can be added, removed or reordered, and almost every client changes something. Prices are an entry-level guide; your quote will be exact.
Days 1–3: Buenos Aires
Arrive in Buenos Aires and settle into one of the city’s leading luxury hotels in Recoleta or Palermo. Argentina’s capital sets the tone for the journey with its European elegance, vibrant culture, and exceptional food scene.
Spend your time exploring historic neighborhoods, enjoying private guided tours, and experiencing the city’s renowned dining. Evenings can be as relaxed or lively as you like, from intimate wine bars to world-class restaurants and tango performances.
Buenos Aires is home to one of the best gay scenes in Latin America.
Days 4–5: Iguazú Falls
Fly north to Iguazú, where one of the world’s most spectacular natural wonders awaits. Stay within easy reach of the falls, with the option to base yourself on either the Argentine or Brazilian side.
Private guided tours take you deep into the national park, where walkways and viewing platforms bring you face to face with the scale and power of the falls. A helicopter flight over the cascades offers a completely different perspective, while quieter trails reveal subtropical rainforest and wildlife.
Days 6–9: Patagonia
Continue south into Patagonia, where the landscapes shift dramatically to glaciers, mountains, and wide open space. Depending on your preference, base yourself in El Calafate for access to the Perito Moreno Glacier or in a more remote luxury lodge for a fully immersive experience.
Your time here is flexible and tailored. Options include guided glacier walks, boat trips across ice-filled lakes, horseback riding, and hiking through some of the most striking scenery in South America. This is Patagonia at its most raw and cinematic, balanced with carefully selected luxury accommodation.
Days 10–11: Ushuaia
Fly to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world and the gateway to Antarctica. Spend two nights here to unwind before your expedition and to allow for a comfortable buffer ahead of departure.
You can explore the Beagle Channel on a private boat, visit Tierra del Fuego National Park, or simply relax at your hotel overlooking the water. Ushuaia is both a destination in its own right and the natural transition point into the next stage of the journey.
Days 12–21: Antarctica Expedition Cruise
Board your expedition vessel in Ushuaia and begin the crossing of the Drake Passage. Over the next two days at sea, your expedition team will prepare you for what lies ahead with briefings, wildlife spotting, and time to settle into life on board.
Upon reaching Antarctica, the landscape transforms into a world of ice, silence, and extraordinary scale. Each day is shaped by conditions, with guided landings by Zodiac bringing you close to penguin colonies, glaciers, and remote research stations. You may kayak through ice-filled waters, hike along untouched shorelines, or simply take in the stillness of the White Continent.
Wildlife encounters are a highlight, with opportunities to see whales, seals, and vast colonies of penguins in their natural habitat. The experience is immersive, ever-changing, and unlike any other journey on Earth.
After several days exploring the Antarctic Peninsula, return across the Drake Passage to Ushuaia, where your expedition concludes.

What some people don't realize about Argentina is the fantastic selection of luxury resorts and hotels. Nowhere else does five-star adventure quite like it.
Argentina's size alone is reason enough to visit; you can enjoy such a diverse range of landscapes, environments, and cultures without ever getting bored.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.

Northern Argentina: Salta, Jujuy & the Andes
Tailor-made VacationNorthern Argentina feels very different from Buenos Aires, Mendoza or Patagonia. Up here, close to the Bolivian border, the landscape rises into high Andean desert, enormous salt flats and valleys striped with red, ochre and green rock. Indigenous traditions are more visible too, particularly across Jujuy and the Quebrada de Humahuaca. Begin in Salta, one of Argentina’s best-preserved colonial cities, with arcaded buildings, elaborate churches and a strong regional food culture.
