A tiny volcanic island in the middle of South Pacific Ocean, home of the renowned Moais, human figures with big heads that are carved in stone.

Iguazu is one of these places you know you have to go some day. Time goes by and you realize that eventually you will visit the falls and the jungle. But it is when you are actually there that you understand why so many people talk about the falls and travel to this remote place in South America. The energy of the water falling down surrounded by jungle is just stunning. Can´t miss it.

Most people want to be a witness of the Perito Moreno glacier. The moving, the sounds, the ice explosions and hundreds of tones of blue. But the glaciers national park (Los Glaciares) is much more than that. This tours offers you the chance to dive deeper into the park to also visit less known glaciers but not less impressive in a pleasant full day boat ride.
Do you want to visit one of the renowned glaciers in Patagonia but have only 2 days left?

You can still do it! With this starter package you can swiftly visit El Calafate and the continue your travels to El Chalten or to Chile!
If you arrive to Buenos Aires by plane you will notice a big mass of water next to the city. Looks like the ocean but it is in fact the Rio de la Plata (or River Plate) a wide river that brings water from the Parana and Uruguay rivers. And crossing the river, you can find Uruguay, a neighboring country that can also be called a brother country. So about 60 km from Buenos Aires, you can visit Colonia del Sacramento, an old colonial village that is very well kept and is a small jewel of quietness and joy. So if you are intrigued by Uruguay you might well combine it with Buenos Aires in a short break.
The province of Mendoza is a dry piece of land with huge mountains to the west and an endless plain to the east. Only 5 % of Mendoza´s territory is productive and summers are long, bright and hot. But somehow nature has it surprises. The combination of soil with high quantity of minerals, long hours of sun, enough hours of cold and water brought by the thaw of the high snows created a perfect ecosystem for the development of grapevine. 85% from Argentinas wine comes from Mendoza and local productions has reached places far away. So this is Mendoza, a wine country combined with the impressive high Andes and all classical activities of the mountains. And as a complement, a provincial but nice city built by the working force of immigrants that came looking for a new future during the last century.
Ushuaia has white peaked mountains. Ushuaia has native forests that seem to be burning during fall. Ushuaia was founded in a protected bay beside the Beagle Channel, Atlantic Ocean. Ushuaia has lakes, rivers and turf valleys. So far nothing unique… But this pioneer city in the edge of civilization has something in the air you need to try for yourself. You really feel in the end of the world. Maybe it is the unfriendly weather. Maybe the spirit of the ancient families that established there, against odds and hostile nature. Maybe it is the Patagonian feeling that makes you want to visit more and more. Ushuaia is waiting for you!
Northern Patagonia is also known as the lakes district. This region goes from Caviahue in the north to Trevelin in the south and is a humid patch of between 70 and 100 km wide from the Chilean border to the Patagonian barren steppe. The Andean Patagonian forest has developed here staining the mountain into a beautiful green-gray. Broken peaks, deep blue lakes, white rivers and light green valleys make a wonderful composition. Northern Patagonia is often compared with Switzerland and there is a reason. It is a jewel of the Andes and there are endless activities to enjoy. Sometimes Bariloche is forgotten because of the magnetism of the Glaciers National Park further south, but if you have enough time in Argentina you won´t regret visiting the head of Northern Patagonia!
Northwest Argentina, sharing borders with Chile and Bolivia, is one of the regions with more character. Spanish and Christian culture overlapping ancient ways and forgotten Gods. Although the pre Columbian inhabitants were not Inca, they spoke a similar language and trade a lot with the great empire. You can still see traces of the older cultures in the food, the music, the clothing and the faces of people. Very high and dry mountains only interrupted by some fertile valleys. Salta and Jujuy are a pleasant and welcoming surprise for the traveler.
It used to be a quiet small country capital, but after the economical surge and liberal opening it developed to a fast growing metropolis. High buildings are rising and changing the shape of the city, keeping the oldest and interesting structures and adding new and vibrant neighborhoods. Travelers use Santiago as a point of entry to South America but it is worth to visit the old markets, the streets with imposing classical buildings and the leisure areas full of restaurants and bars.
San Pedro de Atacama is one of the villages with more character in the south of South America. Maybe it is because of being close to the driest desert in the world. Maybe it is because of the people who have created a sophisticated sustainable culture in tough living conditions. Maybe it is because there are so many interesting places to visit from there, like the Geysers, the moon valley or the Altiplanic lagoons. Anyway, this is a place you have to be in and enjoy if you ever go to Chile!
