Wine, Wilderness & Wonder Await

ARGENTINA TOUR | 16 Days - Starting Buenos Aires

Embark on this Byroads journey through Argentina and Chile, beginning in the stylish capital of Buenos Aires. Discover the city’s European elegance and Latin flair as you explore its vibrant neighbourhoods.

Then fly north to the subtropical rainforest of Iguazú to witness the thundering power and misty grandeur of the world-famous Iguazú Falls.

Travel south into the rugged wilderness of Patagonia, where dramatic peaks, vast glaciers and pristine lakes await. From the mountain village of El Chalten enjoy easy walks, surrounded by the jagged spires of the Fitz Roy range.

Near El Calafate marvel at the towering ice walls of the awesome Perito Moreno Glacier before continuing north to the sun-drenched wine country of Mendoza to savour Argentina’s finest Malbecs at boutique wineries nestled beneath the Andes.

Cross the Andes into Chile, winding through spectacular mountain passes and scenic valleys before reaching Santiago, Chile’s dynamic capital. Discover leafy neighbourhoods, bustling markets and sweeping views of the city backed by the snow-capped Andes.

From the cultural energy of Buenos Aires to the natural splendour of Patagonia and the charm of Santiago, this unforgettable journey reveals the rich diversity of southern South America.
