The Best Guided Trips & Group Tours in Argentina
A land of many landscapes and irresistible charm, Argentina is well worth a visit – and it’s important to do it justice. Be guided by a local on one of these immersive TRIPS by Culture Trip and other small-group adventures.
There isn’t a devoted hiker out there who doesn’t daydream of the glaciers, snow-capped mountains and icy lagoons in Patagonia – nor a tango and “asado” (traditional barbecue) enthusiast who doesn’t swoon over the idea of a refined evening in Buenos Aires. And who doesn’t have Iguazu Falls on their bucket list? Join one of these guided trips and group tours in Argentina – bookable on Culture Trip – to see it all in real life, and maybe even cross the border to another major South American player.
Patagonia Wilderness by Intrepid Travel – 15 Days
Patagonia is one of the most remote destinations in South America, so it certainly helps if you’re accompanied by experienced guides who know their way through the wilderness. This guided group trip is an epic 15-day adventure focused on trekking. You start in Buenos Aires, but you’ll soon be experiencing a hike in Argentina like no other as you explore the snow-capped mountains and icy lagoons in Los Glaciares National Park. More hikes await you as you travel to the Perito Moreno Glacier and Torres del Paine National Park before exploring the coastal landscapes of Tierra del Fuego at the southernmost tip of Argentina. The distances in Patagonia are vast and the scenery dramatic, and given the regular 12-hour bus rides between destinations, you’ll appreciate the company of a group on this tour.

Highlights of Patagonia by Intrepid Travel – 8 Days
This eight-day group tour is one of the best ways to see the highlights of Patagonia in a hurry. Your guides will sort out all the paperwork, trekking permits and hiking routes on this trip, so all you need to do is strap on your boots and admire the scenery. And that scenery is going to be epic; after tango lessons and a warm-up walking tour in Buenos Aires, you’ll travel south to El Chalten to begin the trek. You’ll trek past the glaciers and lagoons on Mount Fitz Roy, tackle the Laguna Torre Trail and visit the Perito Moreno Glacier. You’ll have regular seven-hour-plus trekking days on this trip to Patagonia – along with the support of the group and guides to get you through even the toughest of uphill mountain climbs.

On your first night in Buenos Aires, you’ll meet the group for a unique insight into local life in the capital of Argentina. You’ll enjoy an “asado” feast in a local’s home, followed by a post-feast tango show where you can mingle with your tour mates while experiencing a true Argentinian tradition. The next day, you’ll be led to iconic sights such as the Plaza de Mayo, the Pink House and Recoleta Cemetery before flying to Puerto Iguazú – the gateway to Iguazu Falls. Here, you’ll not only experience the sheer power of one of the largest waterfalls in the world, but your tour group has the rare opportunity to meet with a local Guranai community – the indigenous inhabitants of the region.
