This adventurous 13-day itinerary combines Argentina's most spectacular scenery in the far north and south. After getting to know Buenos Aires with a local guide, you’ll head to the Brazilian border to hike around hundreds of waterfalls. Then, fly to Patagonia where you'll get up close to glaciers and partake in a range of outdoor activities. Finish back in the capital for a tango dance and hands-on culinary experience.

Buenos Aires is a city rich in traditions and gastronomy. Meat is often the star of the culinary arts —and it’s true that you can’t afford to miss out on a good steak restaurant, or parrilla— but the festival of flavors doesn’t end there.
