Tour itinerary
Tango and timeless elegance in Buenos Aires
Fly from the UK to Buenos Aires.
Arrive in Argentina’s buzzing capital and transfer to L’Hotel Palermo for three nights with breakfast included. This romantic boutique retreat sits in the heart of leafy Palermo Soho and offers a tranquil garden, rooftop terrace, and individually styled rooms, perfect for relaxing after a day of urban exploration. Spend your first day at leisure, adjusting to the local rhythm.
On Day 2, enjoy a private guided city tour exploring the key districts. Recoleta’s elegant boulevards, La Boca’s vibrant street art, and San Telmo’s colonial architecture. In the evening, you’ll be treated to a traditional tango show in a historic venue. Day 3 is perfect for browsing markets, tasting wines in a Palermo bodega, or even joining a local cooking workshop. Want to personalise your time here? Ask us about adding a private tango class or an evening walking tour.
Alpine lakes and Andean views in Bariloche
Fly south to Bariloche and check in at Aldebarán Hotel & Spa for three nights with breakfast included. Tucked in the forest near Lake Nahuel Huapi, this 10-room boutique lodge offers stunning views, exceptional cuisine, and a peaceful, mountain-lodge vibe.
Explore the dramatic landscapes of the Lake District on a private Circuito Chico tour, winding past mirror-like lakes and forest trails. On Day 5, opt for kayaking, a chocolate-tasting tour in town, or a hike on Mount López for panoramic vistas. Return to the spa for a sauna or a massage before dinner in the hotel’s acclaimed restaurant. On your final day, enjoy a boat trip to Victoria Island or a relaxed picnic with regional wines.
Patagonian plains and gaucho life at Estancia Nibepo Aike
Travel to El Calafate and transfer into Los Glaciares National Park, where you’ll stay three nights at Estancia Nibepo Aike on a full board basis. This historic working ranch lies deep in the Patagonian wilderness with mountain views and a timeless feel.
Join the estancia’s gauchos on horseback rides, help round up sheep, or explore hiking trails that lead to hidden viewpoints and waterfalls. Each day includes hearty meals of grilled meats and homemade pastries.
On Day 8, enjoy a full-day guided visit to the Perito Moreno Glacier, including time on the boardwalks and optional boat ride along the glacier’s face. Ask us about including a mini-trek on the ice for a closer encounter.
Remote hills and rural peace at Estancia Los Potreros
Fly north to Córdoba and transfer to Estancia Los Potreros, where you’ll spend three nights on a full board basis. Perched high in the Sierra Chicas, this family-run estancia offers world-class hospitality, beautiful riding, and total disconnection from the modern world.
Your stay includes:
- Guided horse rides
- Cattle herding
- Hikes to secret swimming holes
- Evening meals served around a communal table
Relax into the slower pace of rural Argentina and soak in the stories shared by your hosts. Keen for more immersion? Add a traditional mate-making session or try your hand at making empanadas.
Last rides and farewell from the sierras
Spend your final full day soaking up the peace of the estancia. Perhaps a final morning ride or a quiet hammock nap with mountain views. You’ll enjoy a celebratory asado lunch on your last afternoon before transferring to Córdoba Airport the next morning for your international flight home via Buenos Aires.
