Buenos Aires, Bariloche, Mendoza & Santiago — 17 days / 16 nights

Signature journey

Journey through the southern cone

Few journeys in the Americas can rival the sweep and contrast of Argentina and Chile. From the tango-charged boulevards of Buenos Aires to the shattering silence of Patagonian glaciers, the vine-covered foothills of Mendoza, and the vibrant energy of Santiago. This is the best of the region in 17-days.

The journey

The route

Step01
Buenos Aires — 4 nights
One of Latin America's great capitals delivers an extraordinary range of experiences: a private city tour taking in Plaza de Mayo, the Teatro Colón, San Telmo, and La Boca; a private boat excursion through the Paraná River Delta; an evening of Rojo Tango at the legendary Faena Hotel; and a full day at La Bamba de Areco, one of Argentina's oldest estancias, for an authentic encounter with gaucho heritage, horseback riding, and a legendary BBQ lunch on the Pampas.
Step02
El Calafate — 2 nights
Gateway to Los Glaciares National Park and the Perito Moreno Glacier, one of the world's great natural spectacles. A full day on the catwalk system facing the glacier's 60-metre ice wall, a Safari Boat navigation along Lago Argentino to within 200 metres of the southern ice face, and lunch at the only restaurant authorized within the National Park.
Step03
Bariloche — 3 nights
Set between the Andes and the crystal-clear waters of Nahuel Huapi Lake, Bariloche is Argentine Patagonia at its most spectacular. A private boat excursion to the ancient trails and secluded beaches of Isla Victoria, a specialist Andean condor wildlife experience, and a Welcome Hike through native forest to a secret lake viewpoint deliver three days of extraordinary natural immersion.
Step04
Mendoza — 3 nights
The heart of Latin America's greatest wine country, with the snow-capped Andes as a permanent backdrop. Private tastings and a hands-on blending session at Tempus Alba, a sustainability-driven visit to Casa El Enemigo, a historic morning at Luigi Bosca, and a farewell dinner at Los Toneles, a 1920s winery declared a Cultural Heritage site of Mendoza.
Step05
Santiago de Chile — 2 nights
The crossing from Mendoza to Santiago is one of South America's great road journeys, with a viewpoint over Aconcagua at 6,962 metres and a picnic lunch in the Andes en route. Santiago itself offers a culinary city tour through the city's most compelling neighborhoods, with tastings of carménère, pisco, and Chilean street food. A free final day for optional excursions to Valparaíso or the Casablanca Valley wine region.
