Itinerary Inspiration for Your Argentina Trip
What to Do During Your Argentina Trip?
1. Tierra del Fuego
Translated as “Land of Fire,” Tierra del Fuego is perfect for nature lovers and keen hikers. Visit the Tierra del Fuego National Park where the Altos Andes meet the Patagonian Forest to see black-necked swans, grey foxes, and penguins. Hike through glaciers or sail the Beagle Channel—just be sure to bring a jacket as temperatures rarely rise above 48°F.
2. Iguazú Falls
Iguazú Falls is the world’s largest waterfall system. This truly extraordinary natural wonder is a worthy UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is the culmination of approximately 200 individual streams cascading into the “Devil’s Throat Canyon” on the border of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. The best time to visit is February through March, when the water level peaks and skies are at their clearest.
3. Perito Moreno Glacier
Visit Los Glaciares National Park to behold the Perito Moreno Glacier. Floating in the teal waters of Argentino Lake, this is one of the few “advancing” glaciers in the world. At a height of 240 feet and stretching over 3 miles, this colossal ice field is the third-largest in the world.
4. Peninsula Valdes
If you’re interested in seeing Argentina’s immensely diverse marine life, head to Peninsula Valdes - a Patagonian nature reserve. Go whale watching, scuba dive with elephant seals, or walk amongst a waddle of penguins - your Tourlane Travel Expert will gladly organize these experiences on your behalf. Inland hikes provide ample opportunity to spot the Argentine grey fox, the guanaco llama, and the flightless nandu bird.
5. Nahuel Huapi National Park
Settled in Argentina’s southwest Lake District, Nahuel Huapi National Park boasts 2,720 square miles of Patagonian wilderness and the deepest clear water lake in the country at 1,394 feet: Lake Nahuel Huapi. At the base of the park’s Andean cordillera, this glacial lake is surrounded by deciduous woodlands. Visit in autumn (March-May) when the winds calm and the trees change color.
6. Buenos Aires
The capital of Argentina is also the countrys largest and most vibrant city. It’s easy to see why this exciting destination is known as the “Paris of South America,” with the wide boulevards, elegant townhouses, and vibrant cafe culture throughout. We recommend hiring a tour guide to help you see the best that this enormous metropolis has to offer. The city’s thriving gastronomy scene is perfect for those with a fondness for red meat and world-class wines. If you overindulge, there’s always the opportunity to dance it off with a late-night Tango session.
7. Mendoza
In this fertile valley, you will find Argentina’s best vineyards and olive groves—a bottle of either makes the perfect souvenir. Stroll through the city’s main square, Plaza de Independencia, before grabbing a hot Fainâ—the Argentinian pizza. Tour the wineries by car, bike, or horse and take a long lunch while sampling the local delicacies. If the dazzling views of the Andes tempt you to discover more, head to the mountains to ski, raft, or hike the soaring peaks. Less
