ARGENTINA HOLIDAYS

ABOUT THE ITINERARY

The size and diversity of Argentina means it is somewhere that you can visit three, four or even five times and still have more to uncover.

In our ‘Classic’ itinerary, we have focused on some of our favourite areas as well as the star attractions of South America’s second largest country.

Your holiday starts in Buenos Aires, a sophisticated city with a focus on style, fashion and art and home to some wonderful restaurants and bars. You will then head south to natural wonders of Patagonia and the Lake District, visiting the hugely impressive Perito Moreno Glacier en route. From the south you will work your way north, for a few days relaxation in the stunning wine region around Mendoza, where the back-drop of the Andes is the perfect accompaniment to a glass of Malbec.

Your penultimate stop is the north-west of the country, an area home to some stunning natural scenery, including deserts, salt flats and rocky canyons.

To end your luxury Argentina holiday, you will visit one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, the hugely impressive Iguassu Falls on the border with Brazil. 2.7km wide and with over 250 waterfalls, it’s a fitting stop to end.

DAY 1 – 2

BUENOS AIRES

Arrive into Buenos Aires international airport where you will be met and driven to your hotel in the chic neighbourhood of Recoleta, home to a number of sophisticated shops, restaurants and galleries.

Although known as the “Paris of South America”, the city has a purely South American flavour, exemplified by world class steaks and very lively performances of the famous tango. A city tour will take you through La Boca, San Telmo and Palermo; prominent sights include Eva Peron’s grave in Recoleta Cemetery and the beautiful El Pilar Church.

Stay: Two nights at HUB Porteno – bed & breakfast

EL CALAFATE

On day 3 you will fly to El Calafate, the entry point to Argentine Patagonia. During your stay you will enjoy a private tour to the mighty Perito Moreno Glacier, 5km wide and one of the few glaciers in the world to still be advancing. You’ll take in the spectacularly blue lakes of Los Glaciares National Park and explore the Patagonian Icecap, an area of immense glaciers topping the Andean Mountains. Trekking expeditions, horse riding, mountain biking and fishing can all be arranged.

THE LAKE DISTRICT

On day 5 take a short direct flight to Bariloche – an attractive destination in the Argentine Lake District. Your hotel boasts a superb location on the shores of Lake Gutierrez, backed by soaring mountains and surrounded by beech forests. You’re in the Nahuel National Park here, the ideal place to go trekking, horse riding, mountain biking, fishing, sailing, paragliding and skiing in season. You’ll also notice a distinct ‘continental’ flavour in the Swiss-style chalets, chocolate shops and fondue restaurants.

Stay: Two nights at Estancia Peuma Hue – full board

THE WINE REGION

Now it’s time to sample some of Argentina’s finest vintages. On day 7 you will fly to Mendoza in the country’s wine region, to stay at a prestigious vineyard. During your stay a full day visiting three specialist wineries is included, along with a paired tasting lunch.

From Mendoza you can indulge in some wine tasting or you can browse through the city’s museums – including, of course, the National Wine Museum – and enjoy outdoor pursuits such as rafting, mountain climbing, hiking and horse riding, plus skiing in the winter.

Stay: Three nights at Entre Cielos – bed & breakfast

Rock Formations at Quebrada De Las Conchas near Cafayate,,Salta | Argentina Holidays | The Ultimate Travel Company

SALTA

On day 10 you will fly north, to the charming city of Salta. Salta is the entry point to a number of attractions in the area, including salt flats, adobe villages, wonderful rock formations, vineyards and some beautiful colonial architecture.

Over the next two days you will stay in a delightful boutique hotel in the centre of the city and explore the attractive old-town with your guide. Known for its spring like climate, you will see the neoclassical architecture and beautiful plazas which make Salta so popular. You will also have a full day visit to the impressive Salinas Grandes, huge salt flats to the north of the province. En route you will visit the historic town of Purmamarca, which is flanked by the Cerro de los Siete Colores (Hill of Seven Colours).

Stay: Two nights at Legado Mitico – bed & breakfast

Important: some of the attractions around Salta are over 3,000m above sea-level.

Iguassu Falls | Ultimate Travel Company
DAY 12 – 14

IGUASSU FALLS

On day 12 a short flight from Salta takes you to the world famous Iguassu Falls, the largest collection of waterfalls on the planet.

Your hotel is inside the national park on the Argentine side of the Falls and has incredible views towards the falls. During your stay you will be taken on a private tour of the Argentine National Park, visiting the hugely impressive ‘Devil’s Throat’. Helicopter rides, boat trips and other activities can be organised too, but you may prefer to relax around the hotel’s marvellous infinity pool, which looks straight out towards the falls.

Stay: Three nights at the Gran Meliá Iguazú – bed & breakfast

“FAULTLESS AND FUN”
We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with The Ultimate Travel Company.

“INDIA AT ITS MOST INCREDIBLE”
Unbelievably brilliant from start to finish. The Ultimate Travel Company gave us complete flexibility while tailoring the trip to our personal preferences. Communication was excellent throughout, and the in-country team in India was super-efficient at every stage. The quality of the experience was exceptional – and the value for money, remarkable. From expert naturalists to thrilling wildlife encounters (tigers, leopards, 140 species of birds), awe-inspiring temples, the Taj Mahal, scenic walks and warm, welcoming people – not to mention the fantastic curry – it was a truly superb holiday. “Ultimate” really is “The Ultimate Travel Company”!

“EXPERTLY TAILORED, EFFORTLESSLY ENJOYABLE”
We travelled to Indochina in January/February with an itinerary designed by The Ultimate Travel Company – and it was spot on. Rob, our consultant, really understood what we were looking for and created a journey that suited us perfectly. The choice of hotels was excellent, and the pace was just right, with enough time built in to relax and recharge between the different experiences. The service throughout was professional, personal and thoughtful – exactly what you want from a travel specialist.
