When planning an international trip with a limited amount of time to fit in everything you want to see and do, picking and choosing the top destinations can be difficult. Express vacations allow you to take a short time, say a few days or a week, off of work or school and enjoy a short vacation. The problem is, how do you fit it all in a week? Here’s a list of destinations you can’t miss and how long you should stay in each one.
1. Buenos Aires
The biggest city in Argentina, Buenos Aires is the country’s political, cultural, gastronomical, and artistic capital. We recommend starting your itinerary of 7 days in Argentina here! Make sure to check out Teatro Colon, the world famous opera house, San Telmo, a traditional neighborhood with a bohemian feel, the Casa Rosada and Plaza de Mayo, where epic events in Argentine history have occurred, and the MALBA museum of modern art. An express vacation in Buenos Aires can be done in around two to three days.
2. Iguazu Falls
One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, Iguazu Waterfalls is basically a must see if you are coming to Argentina. Every Argentina guidebook is filled with pictures of the awe inspiring waterfalls, which culminate with the largest fall, the Garganta del Diablo at 82 meters high. An express vacation in Iguazu Falls National Park can be done in 2-3 days, including travel.
3. Patagonia
If you have a limited time in Patagonia, you will probably have to stick to one destination and enjoy it to the fullest. The classic image of Patagonia are the glaciers, of which the famous Perito Moreno Glacier is in El Calafate. A UNESCO World Heritage site, you can’t go wrong on an express vacation in Patagonia, spending two days hiking the glaciers and taking a boat trip to see them up close and personal.
4. Mendoza
Wine lovers must put Mendoza on their list. On an express vacation in Mendoza, you can visit multiple wineries by bicycle or private tour and choose one of the many outdoor activities in the area, like river rafting, trekking, or thermal baths. If you want to take in the best of the wines produced, take two full days to see different wine producing regions around the city. This destination can be the end of your itinerary of 7 days in Argentina.
