A brief stay to be dazzled by the atmosphere of this unforgettable city, “The Paris of South America”. A city of dreams and melancholy, contrasts and harmony, past and modernity. The sensual tunes of tango seduce and accompany us through unforgettable moments. This South American capital, with its European flair and wide Haussmann-style avenues, enchants and celebrates its visitors as “La Reina del Plata.”
In the heart of the tropical forest, straddling the border between Argentina and Brazil, the Iguazu Falls burst forth, teeming with life!
“Iguazu” means “great waters” in the language of the Guaraní, the indigenous people. And they didn’t lie! Over 6 million liters of water cascade every second across a front spanning more than 2 kilometers. The Garganta del Diablo, or Devil’s Throat, is the largest depression, where thousands of liters of water plunge amidst clouds of vapor, iridescent with rainbows.
To truly discover the roots of Argentina, you must explore the Argentinian North-West. This region is rich with Andean and indigenous heritage, where the spirit of La Pacha Mama, the goddess of earth and fertility, is ever-present, offering a vibrant tapestry of colors and flavors.
Salta, the capital of this region, is best explored on foot. Wander through its colonial square, admire the 16th-century cabildo, visit the protective cathedral, and marvel at the Franciscan church with its distinctive pink bell tower. Don’t miss the High Mountain Archaeological Museum (MAM), home to some of the best-preserved mummies in the world.
From Salta, venture into the heart of the Andes. Leave behind the humidity as you ascend to the great plateaus. Discover the Los Cardones National Park and the breathtaking Cuesta del Obispo, before reaching the village of Cachi, nestled at nearly 3,000 meters above sea level. Here, green gardens and pepper trees await, and the siesta is often accompanied by the songs of the “Copleros.”
Continue your journey to the hidden village of Molinos, then head to the vineyards of Cafayate with its lunar-shaped canyon. Explore the salt flats of Salinas Grandes, the colorful mountain of Purmamarca, and conclude your adventure in Humahuaca, at the end of the Quebrada.
This journey through the Argentinian North-West is a deep dive into the country’s rich cultural and natural heritage.
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.
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.
