You will have the remainder of the day to spend at your leisure, resting at your hotel or exploring Buenos Aires on your own.

Read our Buenos Aires Travel Guide for dining and sightseeing suggestions.

Buenos Aires City Tour & Tango Show

Discover the highlights of Buenos Aires on an exciting half-day city tour. Begin in the heart of the city at Plaza de Mayo, surrounded by the Casa Rosada (Government House), the Metropolitan Cathedral, and the historic Cabildo, once the seat of colonial government. Continue to Puerto Madero, the city’s revitalized waterfront district, and learn about its transformation into one of Buenos Aires’ most vibrant neighborhoods. Next, explore La Boca, known for its colorful streets, strong Italian heritage, and the iconic La Bombonera stadium, home to the legendary Boca Juniors.

Continue to San Telmo, one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods and a historic center of Buenos Aires’ tango culture. Learn about the origins of this iconic Argentine dance before visiting Palermo and Recoleta, two of the city’s most elegant neighborhoods, known for their grand architecture, upscale shops, restaurants, and cafés.

In the evening, experience tango firsthand at Tango Porteño, one of Buenos Aires’ renowned tango venues. Enjoy a gourmet dinner accompanied by a live orchestra and professional dancers in a spectacular performance that brings the passion and drama of Argentine tango to life.

Arrival in El Calafate

Transfer from your hotel to the airport and take a flight to El Calafate. Upon arrival, you will be met at the airport by one of our Latin America For Less representatives and taken to your confirmed El Calafate hotel.

Enjoy the remainder of the day at your leisure in El Calafate. We suggest a visit to the Nimes Lagoon at sunset to watch the birds settling in for the night.

Perito Moreno Glacier Tour

Begin your day with an early breakfast at your hotel before setting off on a memorable Patagonian adventure to the famed Perito Moreno Glacier. The approximately 50-mile (80-kilometer) drive is a journey in itself, following the southern shore of Lago Argentino, where flamingos, black-necked swans, and coots can often be spotted, and passing scenic berry farms and estancias along the way. Stops en route offer opportunities to take in the spectacular scenery.

Upon reaching the glacier, enjoy several hours exploring its trails and walkways at your own pace, accompanied by a local guide. The experience culminates at the panoramic observation points, where you can appreciate the immense scale of the glacier and its dramatic ice formations.

In the afternoon, choose to continue exploring independently or embark on an optional one-hour boat tour across Lago Rico for a closer view of the glacier's towering northern face.

Afterward, return to your hotel in El Calafate, with the rest of the day free to relax at your leisure.

El Calafate Free Day

Enjoy a free day to explore El Calafate at your own pace. Browse local shops and restaurants around the town center, visit the Glaciarium Museum, or walk about half a mile (1 km) to Laguna Nimez for a beautiful sunset. Your Travel Advisor can also help you customize your day with an additional outdoor activity.

Optional: For a deeper look at Patagonian culture and landscapes, customize your package with a full-day Estancia Cristina Discovery tour. Sail across the turquoise waters of Lago Argentino, weaving among floating icebergs as you make your way to the remote and beautiful Estancia Cristina, nestled within Los Glaciares National Park. Learn about the history of the estancia on a brief introductory tour before setting out on an adventurous 4x4 excursion to spectacular views of Upsala Glacier. A short hike then leads to breathtaking views of the Guillermo Lake area and the surrounding Patagonian Ice Field.

Arrival in Ushuaia & Beagle Channel Cruise

Your journey continues with a private transfer to the airport for your flight to Ushuaia, the world’s southernmost city. Upon arrival, you’ll be transferred to your hotel and have time to settle in before heading to the pier for a three-hour cruise through the Beagle Channel.

Follow part of Charles Darwin’s historic route as you spot marine wildlife around Alicia Island, take in panoramic views of Ushuaia backed by the Martial Glacier, and sail past the iconic “End of the World” Lighthouse.

On the return journey, disembark on Bridges Island for a guided walk through the island’s native flora and fauna while learning about the area’s natural and cultural history. Afterward, return to Ushuaia and your hotel.

Arrival in Mendoza

Journey north to Argentina’s world-famous wine country. A private transfer will take you to the airport for your flight to Mendoza, where your driver will be waiting to take you to your hotel.

Set against the majestic Andes, Mendoza is the heartland of Malbec and a top destination for outdoor adventures like cycling, rafting, and trekking. Settle in and enjoy the rest of the day at your leisure.

Mendoza Wine Tour

Today is all about wine! Set out on a guided half-day tour through Mendoza’s famed wine country and visit two premier local wineries. Walk through the vineyards, learn about the art and philosophy behind Argentine winemaking, and sample locally produced Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. Afterward, return to your hotel for a relaxing afternoon at your leisure.

High Andes & Hike to Aconcagua Viewpoint

Journey high into the Argentine Andes on a full-day mountain excursion from Mendoza. Travel through spectacular mountain landscapes, passing scenic towns such as Potrerillos and Uspallata, as well as the iconic natural bridge at Puente del Inca.

Enjoy a boxed lunch before taking a guided hike in Horcones, where spectacular panoramic views of Mount Aconcagua await. At 22,808 feet (6,962 m), Aconcagua is the highest peak in the Western Hemisphere.

Return to Mendoza in the evening.

Iguazu Falls Tour (Argentina)

Discover Argentina's most spectacular natural wonder on a thrilling full-day tour of Iguazú Falls. The journey begins with a drive to Iguazú National Park, where views of the Iguazú River set the stage for a day of exploration. Follow the Upper Circuit, with elevated walkways leading to the edge of the park's major waterfalls, and the Lower Circuit, a scenic loop offering spectacular views from below as the water cascades into the river.

Aboard the Ecological Jungle Train, travel through the rainforest to the Devil's Throat, one of the park's most awe-inspiring waterfalls. From spacious walkways and viewing platforms, take in impressive views of the powerful cascade. While the Devil's Throat and Upper Circuit are largely flat, the Lower Circuit involves a fair number of stairs, so be prepared for some physical effort.

In the afternoon, return to your hotel with the rest of the day free to spend as you wish.

Arrival in Puerto Iguazú

Transfer from your hotel to the airport for your flight to Puerto Iguazú. Upon arrival, a Latin America For Less representative will meet you at the airport and transfer you to your confirmed hotel.

Enjoy the remainder of the day at your leisure, relaxing at your hotel or exploring Puerto Iguazú on your own.

Read our Puerto Iguazú Travel Guide for detailed information about the destination.

Iguazu Falls Tour (Brazil)

The tour begins with a drive to Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, crossing the border from Argentina into Brazil. Once inside Iguaçu National Park, follow the panoramic walkways for spectacular views of the vast network of waterfalls that make up Iguaçu Falls, with the Brazilian side offering some of the most impressive perspectives.

At the end of the tour, take a return bus ride to the park entrance, where your transfer will take you back to your hotel in Puerto Iguazú. Spend the rest of the day at leisure.

Iguazu to Buenos Aires

Enjoy your final morning in Puerto Iguazú before taking a private transfer to the airport for your flight to Buenos Aires.

Amazing Argentina and Peru!

Our Travel Advisor planned a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Argentina and Peru for us. The activities she planned were totally awesome and the service we received was impeccable. Next time we come to South America we will call on Latin America for Less again because it took all of the hard planning out of our hands and we just had to enjoy the experience.
