Argentina is a country best explored with time and perspective. Our Travel Designer Mary lived here for many years and knows the country intimately, from the rhythm of Buenos Aires neighbourhoods to the remote lodges of Patagonia. In the capital, grand boulevards and Belle Époque architecture sit alongside late-night steakhouses, tango halls and cafés where conversation stretches long into the evening. Beyond the city, the landscapes expand quickly. Estancias on the Pampas reveal Argentina’s gaucho traditions, Iguazú Falls thunders through subtropical forest, and in the lake district around Bariloche, alpine villages and deep blue lakes have earned the region its reputation as the Switzerland of South America.
Further south, Patagonia offers some of the most dramatic scenery on the continent, where glaciers, jagged peaks and open steppe create extraordinary opportunities for hiking, riding and wildlife encounters. Argentina also forms the natural gateway to Antarctica, with expedition voyages departing from Ushuaia at the southern tip of the continent.
With Mary’s insight and long-standing local relationships, journeys are carefully paced to allow each region to unfold properly, whether that means time on a family estancia, exploring the vineyards of Mendoza, or travelling deep into Patagonia’s wilderness.
