Argentina captivated us from the moment we arrived—the people’s warmth, the rich flavours of every meal, and the variety of experiences. Sundowner made it all effortless, ensuring everything ran smoothly so we could simply enjoy the journey.

Sarah Bennett, Argentina

We’ve just returned from Argentina and Chile, and it’s one of the best holidays we’ve ever had. Sundowner put together a brilliant itinerary that let us experience Patagonia on both sides of the border—Chile’s dramatic mountain scenery and Argentina’s awe-inspiring glaciers—for a journey we will never forget.

Anne & Peter, Argentina & Chile

It was the most seamless holiday we’ve taken! From tango in Buenos Aires to wine tasting in Mendoza, every detail was arranged perfectly by Sundowner, leaving us free to immerse ourselves without a care.

Helen & Richard Cole, Argentina

Our trip with Sundowner in Argentina felt effortless yet exceptionally personal. Jo’s advice was invaluable in shaping the itinerary—combining Mendoza’s vineyards, Patagonia’s glaciers, and time to relax at our own pace—making it a holiday that worked perfectly for the whole family.

The Roberts Family, Argentina

We had the most fantastic time in Argentina and Brazil. Highlights for us were the tango show in Buenos Aires, wine tasting in Mendoza, the sheer power of Iguazú Falls on both sides of the border, and finishing in Rio with sunsets on the beach. Everything ran so smoothly thanks to Sundowner, and we really appreciated the local guides who made the places come alive for us. It honestly felt like everything had been thought of and we could just relax and enjoy it.

Tour itinerary

Days 1 - 3:

Begin your Argentinian adventure in Buzzing Buenos Aires

Fly from the UK to Buenos Aires.

Arrive in Argentina’s charismatic capital and transfer to Hotel L’Adresse for five nights with breakfast included. This well-located 3-star hotel offers easy access to the city’s key sights and the charming cobbled streets of San Telmo.

Start with a shared city tour covering Plaza de Mayo, the multicoloured Caminito of La Boca, and Recoleta’s grand architecture, led by an expert local guide who’ll explain Argentina’s fascinating political and artistic history. In the evening, sit down to a tango show with dinner: sultry rhythms, vintage glamour, and hearty empanadas all included.

Your third day is free, why not browse the San Telmo antiques market, cycle Palermo’s parks, or try a mate-tasting session with locals? Add a private Recoleta Cemetery tour for insights into Argentina’s most famous resting place. Want to linger longer in Buenos Aires? Ask us to add a night and see Tigre or Colonia.

 

Panoramic view of a city square witha mixture of old terraced buildings and modern high rises dotting the skyline. In the centre of the square is a monument with trees lining the egdes of the square.
Days 4 - 6:

The end of the world – Ushuaia and Tierra del Fuego

Fly to Ushuaia and transfer to Tierra de Leyendas Boutique Hotel for three nights with breakfast included. With big windows looking over the Beagle Channel, this cosy hotel feels like a world away.

Start with a shared half-day trip to Tierra del Fuego National Park. Your guide will highlight native lenga trees, beavers and Lapataia Bay at the very end of the Pan-American Highway.

Day 5 brings a Beagle Channel cruise past sea lions and the iconic Les Eclaireurs lighthouse, where Darwin once sailed.

Free time on Day 6. Visit the Maritime Museum or add a full-day penguin colony walk. Ask us about upgrading to a private trekking guide or adding a Patagonian lamb lunch with wine.

In the middle of a body of water two rocks just out the water. Furthest away, a red and white lighthouse sits upon the otherwise barren rockface. The closer rock there lies a around 20 brown sea llions, sleeping sprawled across the rock
Days 7 & 8:

Bid farewell to city life and say hello to glaciers and the windswept plains of El Calafate

Fly to El Calafate and transfer to Hostería La Estepa for two nights with breakfast included. This charming estancia-style lodge has sweeping views of Lago Argentino and a cosy fireside restaurant.

Day 8 is all about the mighty Perito Moreno Glacier. Your shared tour includes access to the boardwalks and a guided boat safari that glides near the creaking ice walls. Our guides will point out where huge blocks calve off with a thunderous splash, a phenomenon that happens year-round! Want to get closer? Ask us to include a mini-trekking experience with crampons and glacier guides.

Days 9 - 11:

Swap glacial wilderness for the beauty of Bariloche’s Lake District

Fly north to Bariloche and transfer to Aldea Andina Hotel & Spa for three nights with breakfast included. Situated in native forest with mountain views, this boutique lodge feels more Swiss Alps than South America.

Join a shared Circuito Chico tour to soak up Lake Nahuel Huapi’s scenic beauty. Your guide will share stories of German immigrants and Patagonian myths along the way. Stop at Cerro Campanario for epic vistas and enjoy handcrafted chocolate downtown!

Day 11 is yours to explore! Try a kayak trip on the lake, hike Cerro Otto, or ask us about a local food tour. Looking for luxury? We can arrange lunch at the legendary Llao Llao hotel or upgrade to a boutique cabin by the lake.

Days 12 - 16:

Begin your road trip of a lifetime and head through Salta’s dramatic northwest

Fly to Salta, collect your hire car and check in to Hotel Boutique La Candela for five nights with breakfast included. This colonial-style hideaway is within walking distance of the main square and perfect for setting your own pace.

Use Salta as your base for five days of exploration: drive south to Cafayate’s vineyards and taste high-altitude Torrontés wine, head north through the painted mountains of Quebrada de Humahuaca, and detour west to the otherworldly salt flats of Salinas Grandes. You’ll pass through sleepy villages, giant cacti, and multi-coloured canyons! Want a slower pace? Break the journey with a stay in Purmamarca or Tilcara.

Days 17 & 18:

Discover Iguazú Falls from both sides!

After dropping off your hire care, fly to Puerto Iguazú and transfer to Hotel Jasy for two nights with breakfast included. This forest-surrounded lodge feels like a secret hideaway, with wooden cabins and a relaxed vibe.

Join a shared tour of the Argentine side of the falls, including the famous Devil’s Throat walkway. Prepare to get soaked!

On Day 18, if your passport allows, cross into Brazil for sweeping panoramic views. Our local guides explain the biodiversity of this UNESCO-listed park, from toucans to butterflies. End with a splash: ask us to add a boat ride under the falls or an upgrade to a forest spa hotel.
