ARGENTINAPatagonia 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.
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. See a different side to one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world before traveling to Rio de Janeiro to finish the group tour with a cocktail on Copacabana Beach.
It’s an epic journey from Buenos Aires to Rio de Janeiro, but why not take the hassle out of planning by joining an organized group tour? This 10-day guided trip starts in Buenos Aires, where you’ll take a guided walk through the most iconic neighborhoods and destinations in the capital of Argentina. Then, enjoy an evening of tango before a fly-drive sees you exploring the Ibera Wetlands far to the north of Buenos Aires.
From the wetlands, you’ll travel farther north by bus – where you’ll visit one of the largest waterfalls in the world. The Iguazu Falls are a highlight of any trip to Argentina, and you’ll get to see the waterfalls from both sides of the border. Stay over in Brazil as you finish the group tour with three days in Rio de Janeiro.
Not many people can say they’ve visited Antarctica, but you’ll be able to after this 11-day adventure. Desperate to see humpback whales, orcas, penguins and seals in their native habitat? There’s ample opportunity on this trip that sets sail from Ushuaia, the southernmost point in Argentina.
Cruise along the Beagle Channel and through the Drake Passage to spend four days exploring the Antarctic Peninsula, snapping photos of glaciers and mountains as you go. Does it get more bucket list than that?
