Argentina
Argentina is a land of passion, contrast, and timeless elegance, where refined culture meets untamed natural beauty.
In Buenos Aires, vast boulevards, grand architecture, “sacred” football history and the romantic rhythm of tango set the stage for world-class drinking and dining, with Argentine steak and Malbec wine taking centre stage in the country’s celebrated culinary scene.
Beyond the capital, the Mendoza wine region invites indulgence amid vineyard-covered foothills of the Andes, while the sweeping pampas of Salta and beyond offer a glimpse into the heritage of the gauchos, Argentina’s legendary cowboy ranchers, who embody the nation’s proud spirit.
In the far north, Iguazú Falls, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, astonish with their raw power and tropical beauty, while the wild expanses of Ushuaia & Tierra del Feugo at the end of the Earth deliver unforgettable adventures among glaciers, mountains, and exclusive estancias.
In the Lake District, around Bariloche, alpine landscapes meet elegant lakeside lodges and outdoor exploration.
Blending vibrant culture, fine gastronomy, and spectacular scenery, Argentina offers a journey of sophistication, authenticity, and adventure unlike any other in South America.
