Buenos Aires & la Pampa: Buenos Aires stands as one of South America’s great capitals. Home to around 3 million residents, with over 14 million more in the surrounding suburbs, it is Argentina’s most cosmopolitan city. Reimagined at the end of the 19th century as “La Petite Paris,” Buenos Aires sits at the edge of a vast delta that blends seamlessly with the ocean. Each of its neighborhoods boasts a unique identity, creating endearing and unforgettable atmospheres. With its wide Haussmann-style avenues, Buenos Aires exudes a European charm while proudly welcoming visitors with its South American warmth.

Surrounding Buenos Aires is the expansive “pampas” region. This flat landscape, described by poet Borges as “a sea of land,” stretches endlessly to the horizon. Transformed into fertile farmland by immigrants from across Europe, the pampas never cease to amaze with their vast expanses and economic vitality. Horses, gauchos, wide-open spaces, and dreams—these words perfectly capture the essence of this remarkable region of Argentina.

Argentina’s North West: it is a region of exceptional colors and atmospheres. The Valles Calchaquíes and the Puna offer an unforgettable spectacle to travelers. Each small village (with their churches) has preserved its authenticity and soul, creating a unique and immersive experience. While you can visit this region year-round, the best time to come is from April to November. During the southern summer, it can rain, but the region’s must-see attractions remain accessible and captivating throughout the year.

Argentina’s North East & Litoral: this is the subtropical region of Argentina. You have certainly heard of its great must-see: The Iguazu Falls. Located in the far northeast of Argentina on the Brazilian border, they are considered by many to be the most beautiful and impressive waterfalls in the world. They have been classified by UNESCO as a world heritage site. More than 250 streams emerging from the forest form a myriad of waterfalls of varying sizes flowing into a spectacular chasm, creating a unique scene.

South of the falls, you can discover “the missions”, the ancient temples and villages that the Jesuits created with the local population, “the Guarani people”. The capricious geology of the region offers us yet a more secret spectacle: “Los saltos del Moconá”. A fault in the bed of the Uruguay River allows us to admire unique waterfalls surrounded by lush vegetation. A little further south, to the north of the Corrientes province, you will find “Los esteros del Iberá”, these are the largest swamps and marshes in America after the Pantanal in Brazil. This reserve extends over more than 13,000 km2, sheltering unique fauna and vegetation that, thanks to their isolation, have been preserved from humans.

The Cuyo region is a stunning area characterized by its majestic mountains and valleys blanketed with vineyards. Mendoza serves as the gateway to this enchanting experience. South of Mendoza, vineyards stretch as far as the eye can see, inviting visitors to savor their exceptional wines. Renting a car and touring the various wineries allows for a truly immersive and liberating exploration of the region.

A highlight of the journey is visiting Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Americas at 6,959 meters above sea level. The region is also home to numerous awe-inspiring mountains and formations in vibrant ocher and green hues that captivate visitors throughout their stay.

To the north of Mendoza, in the neighboring provinces of La Rioja and San Luis, lie the Cañon de Talampaya and the Ischigualasto Park. These remarkable rock formations may not reach the highest altitudes but their breathtaking landscapes are undeniably impressive.

Spanning over a million square kilometers across Argentina and Chile, Patagonia is the largest geographical region in both countries. Stretching from the Rio Colorado river to Ushuaia, this region offers an extraordinary natural landscape. The power and resilience of its nature and inhabitants are truly remarkable.

In Argentine Patagonia, the climate varies significantly: the west is humid, while the center and the Atlantic coast are very dry. The island of Tierra del Fuego, the largest island in Patagonia, is a notable highlight.

To fully appreciate this vast region, it is helpful to divide it into two sub-regions: Atlantic Patagonia and the Steppe, and the Andes and Tierra del Fuego. This approach allows for a more comprehensive exploration of Patagonia’s diverse landscapes and unique characteristics.

Atlantic Patagonia will captivate you with its vast, infinite spaces and deep blue waters. Each year, the Peninsula Valdés becomes a sanctuary for numerous bird species and large marine mammals that come to breed.

Experience unforgettable moments with playful southern right whales, powerful elephant seals, and sea lions, as well as the graceful penguins at the Punta Tombo reserve. This journey offers a profound understanding of the strength and fragility of life.

Going as far as possible… Tierra del Fuego offers an experience of complete fulfillment. It’s the end of the world, yet also the beginning of a new one.

Lined with peat and moss and covered by whimsical forests, Tierra del Fuego evokes sensations of freedom and dreams. Ushuaia, La Pataia, and once again, the end of the world. It is a realm of wind, adventurous sailors, dreams, and the exquisite sea spider.

Cape Horn, a rocky promontory in Chilean territory, is a place that captures the imagination. Reaching its shores by expedition cruise ship from Ushuaia is an unforgettable adventure. The area is monitored by the Chilean army and features a lighthouse and a monument honoring the brave sailors and ships that perished while attempting to navigate its treacherous waters.

Great peaks, wind, and infinite spaces full of strength. Lakes of dazzling blues and greens stretch out before you. Then, a large blue lake with pieces of ice drifting upon it brings you closer to unique peaks and mountains. Suddenly, the steppe transforms into a forest, revealing Patagonia’s most beautiful secret: the sumptuous glaciers of the largest ice cap in America: Perito Moreno, Upsala, Frias, Viedma, Mayo.

Just a bit further north, you’ll find the striking granite spires of the Chaltén and Torre mountains, making this area the hiking capital of Argentina. Route 40 takes you deeper into the heart of the Andes and the Steppe, passing vast estates, stunning mountains, and the Perito Moreno Park with its high plateaus and Mount San Lorenzo.

Towards the foothills of the Andes, you’ll discover Bariloche, San Martín de los Andes, and Los Alerces. These locations boast Argentina’s most beautiful ski resorts, serene larch and nothofagus forests, and picturesque lakes, offering an experience of unparalleled tranquility and beauty.
