Tigre Delta Private Boat Tour & Island Lunch with DrinksYou’ll float through hidden Tigre Delta canals by private boat, guided by locals who know every bend. Enjoy a homemade lunch at an island house—empanadas, pizza, dessert—and sip drinks under willow trees before drifting back past city views. It’s slow travel at its best: food, laughter, quiet moments you’ll remember long after you leave.
Ziplining in El Calafate: 4 lines over PatagoniaZipline down four lines totaling 2,920 meters in El Calafate, descending from Mount Huyliche to Estancia Huyliche ranch. You ascend by 4x4 vehicle to the Calafate Balconies for views of Lake Argentino and the Andes, then choose your descent: a 4x4 route down the south face, a 90-minute guided trek down the north face, or the zipline circuit. Harness and helmet are included; lunch and a glass of wine follow at the ranch. Weight limits are 40–100 kg; the full outing takes around 4 hours.Is it for me?Choose the zipline if you want the rush of a long descent with views—the four lines cover more distance than a single drop, and the ranch meal afterward gives you time to settle before heading back. The 90-minute trek suits anyone who prefers walking and wants to explore the caves; the 4x4 option works if you'd rather stay in the vehicle and see the Stone Labyrinth from the south face.
Buenos Aires: Rojo Tango Show & Dinner with Private TransferYou’ll slip into Buenos Aires nightlife at Rojo Tango inside Faena Hotel — up-close seats for cabaret-style tango, with an optional three-course dinner and free-flowing Malbec. Enjoy private hotel transfers both ways so you can relax into the music and maybe even try out your Spanish over dessert. It’s intimate, lively, and leaves you buzzing long after.
Ushuaia: Vinciguerra Glacier & Tempanos Lagoon Trekking TourYou’ll trek from Ushuaia into raw Patagonian forest, cross soggy peat bogs with a local guide, eat lunch by an iceberg lagoon, then stand close enough to Vinciguerra Glacier to hear it creak. Expect cold air on your face and real silence—plus hotel pickup and snacks to keep you going.
Quebrada de Humahuaca tour from Salta: UNESCO valley and villagesA full-day guided tour of the Quebrada de Humahuaca, a UNESCO World Heritage valley in Argentina's Jujuy province, departing from Salta. You travel north through indigenous villages — Purmamarca, Tilcara and Humahuaca — stopping at adobe churches, pre-Incan ruins and colonial towns, then return via the scenic Route 9. Hotel pickup and an air-conditioned vehicle with a professional guide in English or Spanish are included; lunch is at your own expense.Is it for me?The tour runs 12 hours with multiple short walks at each stop — up a hilltop to the Pucará ruins, through town squares and past colonial buildings — so it suits travelers comfortable with a full day of travel and moderate walking rather than a strenuous hike. An early pickup means an early start, and the return to Salta arrives in the evening.
5-day Spanish group course in Buenos Aires: 20 lessonsA 5-day Spanish group course in Buenos Aires with 20 hours of instruction across small classes, a welcome pack, social activities and a course certificate. Classes run daily with experienced teachers who speak English, Spanish, Portuguese, French and one additional language; minimum age is 16. The course suits all Spanish levels and all ages, and includes a first-day orientation to help you settle in.Is it for me?The five-day schedule fits into a longer trip without taking over your whole week, leaving mornings or afternoons free to explore Buenos Aires on your own. If you want full-day immersion or a longer course, look for the 7-day or 10-day options instead.
Iguazu Falls: 2-Day Tour from Buenos Aires with Flights & Both SidesYou’ll land in Iguazu ready for adventure—crossing borders by road, feeling spray on your skin as you stand before roaring waterfalls with a local guide explaining every detail. Walk forest trails on both Argentine and Brazilian sides, spot wildlife up close, then fall asleep listening to jungle sounds from your hotel room.
Tierra del Fuego National Park tour with Train of the PrisonersA half-day tour from Ushuaia takes you by air-conditioned vehicle to Tierra del Fuego National Park, where you board a replica of the historic Train of the Prisoners for a 60-minute journey through Fuegian forest to the park's interior, then visit Lapataia Bay and the End of the World sign marking the terminus of the Pan-American Highway. Hotel pickup is included; the national park entrance fee is approximately USD 30. The train ride is optional — if you skip it, you walk a short forest trail instead, weather permitting.Is it for me?The guide speaks English or Spanish, so choose the language that matches your group. The train ride is optional, which means you can tailor the morning to what interests you — the history and the rails, or the forest and the quiet.
Buenos Aires: Palermo Food Tour & Optional Michelin DiningYou’ll taste your way through Palermo’s lively streets—starting with vermouth and empanadas, then savoring Malbec wine, charcuterie, choripán with chimichurri, steak in a classic restaurant, and finally creamy dulce de leche ice cream. With a local guide sharing stories along the way, you’ll get more than just flavors—you’ll feel part of Buenos Aires for an afternoon.
Perito Moreno Glacier: Minitrekking & Boat Tour from El CalafateYou’ll cross Lake Argentino by boat from El Calafate and trek across Perito Moreno Glacier with expert guides—crampons strapped on tight—exploring crevasses and tasting fresh glacier water along the way. End with a toast overlooking blue ice before wandering Los Glaciares’ walkways above crashing bergs. It stays with you.
Mendoza: Vineyard Horseback Ride & Gourmet Asado LunchYou’ll ride horseback through Maipu’s vineyards outside Mendoza with a local guide who knows every turn of the trail. After your ride, sit down for an Argentine asado lunch—think steak, fresh salad, wine pairings—in a country mansion setting. Expect laughter, good food, and those small moments that stick with you long after you’ve gone home.
Iguazu Falls Private Tour: Devil's Throat & Boat RideA private full-day tour from Buenos Aires to Iguazu National Park combines guided walks through the Lower and Upper Circuits, a 4x4 jungle drive, and the Great Adventure—a boat ride that takes you close enough to feel the spray and force of the water. The tour includes round-trip flights from Buenos Aires, park entry, lunch, and hotel pickup and dropoff; children under 12 ride an alternative boat instead of the Great Adventure. Book with flights or arrange your own transport to the park.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want to see the falls from multiple angles—trails, viewpoints, jungle and boat—without arranging flights or park logistics yourself. The 14-hour day is full but paced around the guide's knowledge and the boat's schedule, so you move through the park without backtracking or waiting in lines.
Tango Porteño Show & Dinner in Buenos Aires: Steps from the ObeliskTango Porteño is a live tango show in downtown Buenos Aires featuring 30 artists on stage—8 couples of professional dancers, 2 singers, and a 12-piece orchestra—performing traditional Argentine tango. The show runs 1.5 to 3 hours depending on your option; dinner and VIP upgrades add a 3-course meal with Argentine meat and an open bar of wine or beer, plus round-trip hotel transfer when you book a dinner package.Is it for me?Book a dinner package if you want the show, the meal, and the transfer all arranged in one evening—nothing to coordinate beyond showing up at your hotel. Choose show-only tickets if you're already downtown or prefer to eat elsewhere, and add the VIP upgrade if a better seat matters to you.
Tierra del Fuego National Park tour: Small groups, no trainA six-hour guided tour of Tierra del Fuego National Park with a small group, starting at 8:00 AM from your hotel or the office. You walk short, low-difficulty trails to Lapataia Bay (the end of the roads in America), Lake Roca, Ensenada Bay and the rivers and lagoons within the park, with lunch and drinks served at Archipiélago Cormoranes. The defining difference: no train stop, which means more time on the actual landscape instead of watching it pass from a carriage.Is it for me?Small groups move through the park at a pace that lets you absorb the landscape instead of rushing between stops—this tour suits a first visit to Tierra del Fuego when you want the main sights without the train crowds or the logistics of driving yourself. Children from age 4 are welcome, though the six-hour day and moderate fitness level required mean it works best for families with older kids or adults comfortable with a full morning of walking.
4WD Off-Road Lakes Adventure Ushuaia: Hidden Lake & FagnanoA 7-hour 4WD off-road tour from Ushuaia through Tierra del Fuego's Southern Andes, visiting Hidden Lake and Lake Fagnano with a professional guide and small group (max 12 people). Hotel pickup and drop-off, lunch with wine, and a 45-minute canoe excursion on Lake Fagnano are included in summer; winter visitors explore a sledding center instead. The route leaves paved roads to follow old woodcutter tracks where only 4WD access is possible.Is it for me?Choose this tour if you need a 4WD vehicle to reach Hidden Lake and Lake Fagnano off-road, and want a guided route rather than navigating Tierra del Fuego terrain yourself.
Mendoza: Hot Springs & Rafting Day with Private PickupYou’ll float through warm mineral pools at Cacheuta Hot Springs, grab lunch under mountain skies, then tackle 12km of Mendoza River rafting with a local guide. Private pickup means no stress getting there or back. Expect laughter, splashes, and maybe a new favorite memory by sunset.
Tierra del Fuego tour from Ushuaia: Guided walks & Yagan sitesA guided tour of Tierra del Fuego National Park from Ushuaia takes you through four stops over 4.5 hours: the End of the World Train Station, Bahía Ensenada Zaratiegui (seasonal), Acigami Lake with its native flora and birds, and Bahía Lapataia's footbridges overlooking Yagan heritage sites. The guide speaks English, Spanish or Portuguese, pickup is included, and the air-conditioned vehicle handles the route. Park entry is separate; the tour does not include End of the World train tickets.Is it for me?Choose this if you're exploring with family or a small group and want a guide explaining Yagan heritage and native species while walking accessible trails through lakes and rivers.
Luján River sailing tour Buenos Aires: Tango, food & wineA sailing tour on the Luján River near Buenos Aires where you board a 26-foot sailboat for a maximum of four people, cruise past the city skyline, and taste mate, grilled choripán with chimichurri, Malbec wine and dulce de leche while listening to live tango. The guide speaks English and Spanish, and the tour runs two hours on Friday and Saturday afternoons, or Saturday and Sunday as a day option.Is it for me?Book the afternoon departure if you want to sail and eat without committing your whole day; choose the day tour option if you have more time and want a longer experience on the water. The small group size — four people maximum — is what keeps the boat intimate and the conversation real, so you are not performing for a crowd or competing to be heard.
Beagle Channel Catamaran: Sea Lions, Lighthouse & BridgesYou board a catamaran at Ushuaia's local port and spend two and a half hours on the Beagle Channel, stopping at sea lion colonies, a century-old lighthouse, and a guided walk on Bridges Island where you learn about the Yamana people and see their ancient shell middens. A professional guide narrates the wildlife and history, and the boat runs twice daily in both summer and winter schedules, with children under four riding free.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see Ushuaia's wildlife and landscape without arranging your own boat or guide — the fixed schedule and two daily departures mean you can fit it around other plans, and the walk on Bridges Island is the part that makes the history real instead of just something you read about.
Bike Tour Palermo & Recoleta: Floralis Generica, Cemetery & ParksA 4-hour guided bike tour through Palermo and Recoleta in Buenos Aires, led by a local English-speaking host, covering the Floralis Generica sculpture, Recoleta Cemetery, and the tree-lined paths of Parque Tres de Febrero. You pedal through French architecture, mansions, and street art while sipping mate and learning the city's history from someone who lives here. Groups stay under six riders; the cemetery visit is optional, and you can explore on foot or spend time in the surrounding park instead.Is it for me?Book the English-language option if you want a guide who can explain the city's history and architecture as you ride; choose the private tour if your group wants the route and pace shaped around your interests instead of a fixed schedule with other riders. The cemetery stop is optional, so you're not locked into a full interior visit if you'd rather spend that time in the park or exploring the neighborhood on foot.
