Snowy peaks and crystalline lakes
The Argentine Lake District is a beautiful, picture-postcard region of snow capped peaks, forested slopes, crystalline lakes and rivers. A stop here adds a wonderfully tranquil dimension to any of our Argentina tours.
This is the perfect place to enjoy the great outdoors with all manner of outdoor activities possible including hiking, mountain biking, fishing, golf, horse riding, kayaking, mountaineering, rafting and skiing.
The hotels and lodges in the Lake District that we’ve carefully selected for our Argentina tours are in one of two areas, either in the Bariloche area (though well outside the city itself and in the pristine nature of the surrounding area) or in Villa La Angostura, a beautiful picturesque village set just a couple of hours drive from Bariloche. Development here has been slight and very well controlled, making this a place for seclusion and relaxation.

Trip Inspiration

Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires is undoubtedly one of the world’s greatest cities and an important destination on many of our Argentina tours. Centre of the world’s fifth largest economy at the turn of the 20th century, the city features an abundance of classical architecture and tree-lined boulevards reminiscent of its European counterparts.
Discover moreEl Calafate
The glacier region is without doubt one of the country’s most beautiful areas and the highlight of many people’s trip to Argentina. Los Glaciares National Park is located in an area known as the austral Andes near the border with Chile, and is home to stunning mountains, lakes and, of course, glaciers.
Discover moreIguazu Falls
As water crashes down around you, filling the air with an almighty roar and a cloud of mist, you can’t help but think this is Mother Nature really showing off. Surrounded by the lush subtropical forest of the Iguazu National Park, the 275 cataracts of the the Iguazu Falls are a truly remarkable sight.
Discover moreMendoza
Mendoza is the heart of Argentina‘s wine industry and one of the country’s most picturesque regions. Vineyards sweep across the landscape, the ordered rows draped in front of the craggy snow-capped peaks of the majestic Andes mountains.
Discover moreUshuaia
A frontier city at the end of the world, Ushuaia has grand appeal of really being on the last outpost of civilisation before the icy sweeps of the Antarctic.
Discover moreEl Chalten
An unassuming village of just 500 people, previously a remote outpost, El Chalten is nestled just beneath the FitzRoy and Cerro Torre mountains. Its location makes it one of the premier trekking and climbing destinations on any of our Argentina tours.
Discover moreSalta
Salta is a gateway city in the north west of Argentina. Nicknamed ‘La Linda’ (the beautiful) it was founded in the foothills of the Andes in colonial times, intended as staging point between Lima and Buenos Aires. Today, it serves as a convenient and interesting stop on many of our Argentina tours.
Discover moreThe Puna
The stark beauty of Argentina’s north-western Altiplano, the Puna, is quite something to behold.
Discover moreThe Pampas
The legendary plains of the Pampas are the territory of the traditional gaucho (Argentine cowboy) and you can experience this unique lifestyle with one of our bespoke Argentina tours to this amazing region.
Discover moreIbera
One of Argentina‘s best-kept secrets, Esteros del Iberá is a huge region of wetland in the north of Argentina. A haven for wildlife, this region is a fantastic spot for bird watchers and nature lovers.
Discover moreCalchaqui
Very much the Wild West of Argentina, this is scenery on an epic scale, with arid canyons and mountains flanking the dusty elegance of sleepy colonial towns. A must see destination to get the most out of any of our Argentina tours.
Discover moreMisiones Rainforest
A continuation of the magnificent Iguazu national park, the Missiones rainforest is an interesting addition for those visiting the falls on one of our Argentina tours.
Discover morePeninsula Valdes
Peninsula Valdes is one of the best places to see wildlife in the country, and indeed for those interested in Argentina tours with a spotlight on marine life, it may be the very best.
Discover moreBahia Bustamante
Located on the ruggedly beautiful Patagonian coast just south of Peninsula Valdes, Bahia Bustamante is a unique and very much off-the-beaten track destination.

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. 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.
