Argentina holidays

Our Argentina holidays are independent routes that we've created with a selection of our shorter Argentina tours. We’ve carefully selected small-scale, well-maintained and authentic accommodation that is conveniently located and full of local character. One great thing about our Argentina holidays is the variety of transport that you’ll take, ranging from comfortable tourist express buses, to local buses and domestic flights. You’ll travel independently, but occasionally you'll join an international group. 

You can request an itinerary using our quote request form or talk to one of our friendly Chile and Argentina Travel Specialists on 01273 322 380. You can build your own Argentina trip with our Argentina tours.

Prices below are valid until the 30th September 2013 and are based on two people travelling and exclude international and domestic flights. Prices for departures beyond this date and for international and domestic flights are available on request. For departures during peak seasons (e.g. Easter, summer holidays, Christmas and New Year) supplements may apply.

At El Chalten, you’ll lace up your hiking boots for a trek into the Patagonian mountains and some of the most breathtaking scenery you could ever imagine. From Patagonia, you’ll fly north to spend a couple of days relaxing in the Lake District and go kayaking on a peaceful mountain lake. Next, it’s the Peninsula Valdes to spot penguins and whales. The best time to plan this Argentina holiday is from July to December, when migrating whales gather along the coast of the Peninsula. Your Argentina itinerary ends at the majestic Iguazu Falls in the rainforest.
