Across Argentina: Andes, Wine & Wild Landscapes
Argentina rewards a longer stay, with this 20 day journey taking in colourful Andean valleys, high-altitude vineyards, rainforest and the streets of Buenos Aires. Begin in the capital, exploring its distinct neighbourhoods and food scene before heading north to the Quebrada de Humahuaca, Hornocal and the Salinas Grandes. In Salta and Cafayate, discover the region’s winemaking traditions, with time among the vineyards and through the Calchaquà Valley. Further east, the rainforest around Iguazú brings an entirely different landscape, while Mendoza provides a final taste of Argentina’s wine country beneath the Andes. Return to Buenos Aires for more time in the city before flying home.
