Destination Management Argentina

Welcome to Buenos Aires!

Buenos Aires city presents an interesting collision of trendy and ancient neighborhoods: The northern area is fashionable, filled with breathtaking parks and open spaces, a wide range of architecture styles, and a vast array of cultural offer.

On the other hand, the southern neighborhoods are witness of the Spanish colonial past, where you can appreciate the cobblestone streets, the traditional antique stores, the original tenement houses which once hosted the immigrants and are able to be visited nowadays. The tango, that bittersweet expression which represents the local culture, can be found everywhere in the city yet the experience of visiting some of the famous Tango Houses is definitely a must.

What makes Buenos Aires unique is its rich cultural diversity which appeals to a broad range of people, from museum and Opera enthusiasts to football or polo lovers.

Pre & Post Tour Options in Argentina

• Airport transportation
• Full day tour Argentinean side of the National Park
• 2 Hotel Nights with breakfast

Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil meet where the Iguazu River joins the Parana River in the North- eastern province of Argentina called Misiones. It is here where the Iguazu Falls (Big Water in the local Guarani language) plunges over hard granite into a wide gorge in a series of gigantic waterfalls 2 miles in length and more than 240 feet below.

The thunderous roar of crashing water and the multicolored mist which rises above the falls is natural beauty and grandeur at its best.

El Calafate | 3 Days – 2 Nights

Tour features:

• Domestic flight tickets to/from BA
• Airport transportation
• Full day sightseeing to the Perito Moreno Glacier
• 2 Hotel Nights with breakfast

The highlight of El Calafate, and what tourists come for, is the visit to the National Park, 35 miles away from the village.

The National Park and Reserve Los Glaciares, declared by UNESCO a "Site of World's Heritage," protects an area of 365 glaciers and the most popular one, Perito Moreno. All these spill over lakes Argentino and Viedma, and determine the particular turquoise of their water.

The Perito Moreno is easily reached 50 miles from El Calafate. It offers a 2 mile-wide ice river and a 300 foot-high front wall, with a 5 km descent of a glacial tongue onto the lake, creating a unique phenomena when, after periods of 4 to 8 years, the tongue of the glacier advances down enough to block the lake and reaches the opposite margin.

• Airport transportation
• Full day Wine tasting tour

This region invites you to enjoy the whims of nature, to choose boundless adventure, and to celebrate the best of life.

But it's more than that; it conveys high peaks, landscapes drawn by the wind, torrential mountains streams, excellent grapevines, snow, sun, and year-round blue skies.

But the name "Mendoza" acquired international fame due to the gourmet production of wine. The beauty of the vineyards, the possibility of visiting the wineries and tasting the best wines next to the barrels used to age them, make the circuit "the Route of the Wine" an unforgettable experience.
