Argentina & Patagonia · A place to begin
The wonder of the glaciers. The joy of a long vineyard lunch. The moment the falls come into view. Discover the places that move you, and the journey that could be yours.
A little perspective before you explore
Rainforest in the northeast. Vineyards beside the Andes. Lakes, glaciers and wild coastlines across Patagonia. The pleasure is in finding the combination that speaks to you.
And Patagonia? It’s a region, with many sides to discover. Bariloche, El Calafate, Ushuaia and Península Valdés each offer a different way to experience it.
Your Argentina, at a glance
Seven places. A world of possibilities.
Perhaps it’s the glaciers. Perhaps a vineyard lunch with the Andes in view. Follow your curiosity through these places and see which ones begin to feel like your trip.
Explore all seven, or follow an interest.
1The subtropical northeast
Some places you feel as much as see.
The sound reaches you first. Then the rainforest opens onto a sweep of waterfalls, mist and moving water. Walk the trails for changing perspectives, pause above the cascades, or get closer on a boat ride that makes the power of Iguazú wonderfully real.

2Southern Patagonia · The glaciers
Stand before a world made of blue.
From El Calafate, the landscapes of Los Glaciares National Park unfold in ice, mountains and wide-open water. Watch Perito Moreno from its viewing walkways, sail among the glaciers of Lake Argentino, or consider a guided ice trek if that is your kind of adventure.

3The capital · Culture & city life
Let the city draw you in.
An evening of tango. A long lunch. A neighborhood you end up loving for reasons no guidebook could have predicted. Buenos Aires adds a human rhythm to an Argentina journey, with architecture, galleries, cafés and a food culture worth making time for.

4Northern Patagonia · The Lake District
A place to linger, with a view.
Deep-blue lakes, forested shores and mountains reflected in the water. Around Bariloche, a day can be as active or as easygoing as you wish: a scenic drive with generous stops, a forest walk, a day on the lake, or a little more adventure in the outdoors.

5Wine country · At the foot of the Andes
Let lunch become the afternoon.
Vineyards in the foreground. The Andes beyond. Mendoza invites you to slow down over wine, food and conversations that have nowhere else to be. Beyond the wineries, mountain landscapes and outdoor experiences add another dimension to your stay.

6Tierra del Fuego · The far south
Follow your curiosity a little farther.
Where the Andes meet the sea, Ushuaia feels wonderfully far from everyday life. Explore the Beagle Channel, walk through the landscapes of Tierra del Fuego, and discover a wilder side of Argentina: paddle a canoe across the lakes of Tierra del Fuego National Park, ride a 4x4 off-road through forests and peat bogs, or trek up to the Vinciguerra Glacier.

7Atlantic Patagonia · Marine wildlife
The moments you cannot choreograph.
A whale surfacing beside the boat. Penguins going about their day. Sea lions along the shore. Around Península Valdés and the wider Puerto Madryn region, wildlife sets the rhythm, and the season helps decide which encounters your journey can include.

Bringing the places together
For a first visit, Buenos Aires, Iguazú and El Calafate bring together three wonderfully different sides of Argentina. Your interests might lead you toward vineyards, lakes or wildlife instead.
We’ll talk through the possibilities, leave room for the moments you want to linger over, and arrange the connections that let the whole trip flow.
The map gives you possibilities. Your preferences give the journey its shape.
Explore these sample journeys as a starting point. We’ll tailor the places, experiences, hotels and pace with you, until the itinerary feels like your own.

From an idea to a memory
“What a great way to begin retirement — two weeks in Argentina. We came up with a complicated itinerary — we wanted to see four areas of the country — but Fred and Exploration Journeys worked out the details and supported us the entire trip.”
