Argentina Trip: The Essential Circuit

15-Day Argentina Circuit: Visiting Buenos Aires

The starting point of your 15-day Argentina circuit, the capital of Tango is a city you live and feel. Buenos Aires is twice the size of Paris and has 3 million inhabitants within the city – 12 million if you include Greater Buenos Aires!

A city of contrasts, where every neighbourhood has its own story: from the cobbled streets of San Telmo to the elegant Haussmann-style buildings of Recoleta. Not forgetting the iconic La Boca neighbourhood with its colourful corrugated iron houses. Football fans will find the famous Bombonera stadium right here and it is even possible to watch a match in Buenos Aires!

Landing in Buenos Aires is the perfect way to begin your 2-week stay in Argentina: this is where you take the pulse of an entire country! To discover Buenos Aires, you have two options:

• A self-guided visit at your own pace, with our travel tips and recommendations;
• A guided tour with a local English-speaking guide to explore the southern and northern neighbourhoods of Buenos Aires.

The activity our travellers love most: attending a tango and folklore evening in an authentic pulpería in San Telmo!

Ushuaia: The End of the World

The second stage of your 2-week Argentina circuit: Ushuaia, a city that has always captivated the imagination. It is the last city before Antarctica. The port of Ushuaia sits in Tierra del Fuego, an island shared between Chile and Argentina. You can even embark on a cruise to Cape Horn from here.

The city at the end of the world is a must on any Argentina trip.

What to see in Ushuaia: Tierra del Fuego National Park, between lagoons, mountains and forests at the end of the Earth, the park is open year-round. Another unmissable highlight of a stay in Ushuaia: sailing the Beagle Channel to the Lighthouse of the Éclaireurs.

From October to March, do not miss the Pinguinera, a natural reserve of Magellanic and Gentoo penguins.

Patagonia: Home of the Perito Moreno Glacier

The Perito Moreno is the iconic glacier of Los Glaciares National Park. It is UNESCO-protected and reaches up to 80 metres thick in places. It is even possible to walk on it: an as incredible as it is unforgettable experience! Visiting the Perito Moreno is therefore a natural inclusion in your 15-day Argentina itinerary

The Perito Moreno is accessed via the town of El Calafate, in the heart of Argentine Patagonia.

For us, travel means encounter and sharing. During your stay in El Calafate, you will have the opportunity to sleep at a gaucho estancia in the heart of the steppe, sharing their daily life and riding out on horseback at the foot of the Andes Cordillera will undoubtedly be one of the highlights of your 2-week Argentina circuit.

North-West Argentina: Road-trip and Homestay Night in Salta

After the south of Argentina, the north! Head to the Salta region, nicknamed “Salta la linda” (Salta the Beautiful). Unlike Patagonia or the Iguazú Falls, the climate here is dry and arid, with significant temperature swings between day and night.

The best way to explore the provinces of Salta and Jujuy? By car! That is why we provide you with a hire car complete with GPS and a road map.

The Argentine north-west is exceptional for its local culture. With Tierra Latina, spend a night with a local family and immerse yourself in the skills and traditions of this Andean community: cookery workshops, a guided horse ride with your host, and much more.

This region is the favourite of many of our travellers. Salta is therefore also one of the must-sees of a 100% Argentina 2-week trip!

2-Week Argentina Circuit: Visiting the Iguazú Falls

The final stage of your 15-day Argentina circuit: the spectacular Iguazú Falls, located on the border between Argentina and Brazil. In total, some 275 cascades and waterfalls – some more than 80 metres high – grace the National Park.

With its tropical climate, the Falls can be visited year-round.

Our tip: book a private guide to avoid the crowds (Iguazú is a very popular site), or opt for a stay at an eco-lodge in the jungle close to the falls.
