Itinerary

1 Arrive Buenos Aires, Argentina

Elegant and old-worldly, with a touch of Paris, a bit of London, a dash of New York cosmopolitanism and a big splash of Italian exuberance — all mixed with a strong dose of Latin American flavor — Buenos Aires offers a heady blend of travel experiences. With tango bars, steak houses, a cemetery so fancy that it occupies one of the poshest neighborhoods and a waterfront on the world's widest river, the city never fails to impress. Touch down and settle into your hotel.




Meals:

2 Buenos Aires – Cycling The City

Join a local guide for a bike tour around Buenos Aires, learning about the history and architecture of some of the most fascinating neighborhoods of the city. You may also opt, for an additional cost, to cruise by ferry to Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay. After your tour, take some free time to stop for lunch on your own. The town is known for its asado barbecue restaurants. Then continue to explore or just sip sangria in the sun before your return ferry ride to Buenos Aires.




Meals:

3 Buenos Aires – Getaway To Tigre

Escape the hustle and bustle of central Buenos Aires for a relaxing getaway featuring fashionable riverside suburbs and a cruise along a sheltered waterway. Drive to Tigre, passing through neighborhoods such as Vicente López, Olivos, and San Isidro, and past elegant homes of these residential suburbs, including the Presidential Residence in Olivos, official home to Argentina's president. On arrival at the Paraná River, board a private motor launch and head out along the Delta's waterways. An array of colorful sights awaits as your boat passes islands, turn-of-the-century homes, yacht clubs and a flotilla of watercrafts, including canoes and sailboats.

Return to your hotel for lunch with your afternoon free to possibly visit a nearby elephant seals rookery. There is also a nearby sea lion rookery to visit, another singular ecosystem where males fight to defend their harems from others.




Meals:

6 Peninsula Valdes – A Day To Yourself

Devote your day to whatever suits you, free to simply relax or again take advantage of the many activities available at your estancia, some for an additional fee.




Meals:

7 Córdoba – Colonial And Natural Majesties

The city of Córdoba, surrounded by the soaring Sierras de Córdoba mountains, was born when Alto Perú linked up with Río de la Plata on the Camino Real (Royal Trail). The second-biggest city in Argentina, Córdoba makes an excellent jumping-off point for exploring the rolling hills and ranches that draw many visitors to the region. Yet its well-preserved colonial architecture and youthful feel – courtesy of several long-established universities – make it a charismatic destination to discover before hitting the highlands.




Meals:

8 Córdoba – Ride A Roundup With Real Gauchos

Discover the extraordinary equestrian skills of the gauchos with a horse-riding journey and a visit to an estancia, where the owners share the history of the land before you visit the cattle station to learn more about a day in the life of the gaucho. Take part in the gaucho games, help with daily tasks like rounding up stray cattle and spend some time birdwatching in hopes of catching sight of the Andean condor or peregrine falcon.
