Argentina is one of South America’s giants – both in terms of size and what it offers. From thundering waterfalls and mighty glaciers to soaring mountains and the dusty desert, Argentina is a true heavyweight when it comes to natural beauty, and there is so much to do.
This country was made for exploring and for those with a love of the outdoors, it’s a dream destination. Hikers will want to make a beeline for Patagonia where epic walking trails among the mighty FitzRoy and Cerro Torre mountains await. Further north in the Lake District, opportunities abound for cycling, kayaking and rafting.
When it comes to epic landscapes, Argentina does not disappoint. The vast red plains around Salta, Jujuy and the Puna in the far north are absolutely mind-blowing. As you wind your way along roads that seem to stretch for infinity, the landscape around you changes with the light taking on a completely different feel. Once you’ve laid eyes on the magnificent Iguazu Falls that sits on the border with Brazil, you won’t forget it. The sound of the water as it thunders over the edge, throwing up a cloud of mist, is quite something. This is Mother Nature really showing off.
And of course, the country is also home to one of the world’s most exciting cities – Buenos Aires. When it comes to culture, food and energy, the city is hard to beat and its buzz is utterly contagious.

When to visit
The seasons in Argentina are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Spring and autumn are a good time to visit Buenos Aires, which can otherwise be quite sticky and humid. To enjoy Argentina’s incredible mountain scenery on a private tour, Summer is the only time you can climb the tallest Andean peaks and is the most reliable time of year to visit Tierra del Fuego. Autumn is a great time to visit the wine regions and Patagonia where the beech groves turn rusty red and orange.
