Argentina can be visited all year round. However, a trip to Patagonia is better during summer when all attractions and hiking trails are open (it snows during winter). Other regions may be affected by the change of season, but your travel won’t be troubled. For example, summer in Iguazú Falls can reach high temperatures, the same as in North Argentina (Salta and Jujuy). Summer is also the rainy season for northerners so if you visit Salta and Jujuy bring a raincoat! Mendoza’s vineyards blossom in spring, and Buenos Aires boasts no extreme weather during the year.
Asado (barbecue) and empanadas are popular meals, but you can also find an excellent offer of pasta and pizzas. It is often thought that all meals have meat in Argentina and that there are no options for vegetarians, but that is not true. There are many options, and even exclusive restaurants for vegetarians, vegans and the gluten-free public.
Probably not. For citizens of many countries (up to 90 days), like Australia, Canada, Germany, Japan, United States. For the latest up-to-date information visit your local embassy website.
Bring a variety of clothes (in Patagonia we can have all four seasons in 24 hours), comfortable clothes, and bring at least one nicer outfit to enjoy the nightlife. Sunglasses and sunscreen, an adapter and/or converter for outlets, a small bag or backpack. Plus, download an online application to translate to Spanish (some people understand English and some other languages, but most don’t).
Argentina is large, distances can be long. It depends on each traveler really. However, to visit 2 destinations in Argentina, the recommendation is no less than 10 days. The more time you have the more complete your trip will be!
Diverse climate and geography and 2.78 million km2: Argentina is one giant wonderland! The vastness of the Pampas spotted with estancias, the shining lakes and olive hills of Patagonia, the whales basking in the bay at Peninsula Valdes, are just some of the reasons Argentina tours are famous worldwide. Discover Argentina in an adventure trip, a family vacation, or a self-drive experience. Stay in luxury hotels and ranches, enjoy a hiking journey through Patagonia, or have a wildlife experience. It’s your pick!
Explore
The best of Argentina include capital cities with active cultural life. But also rural experiences to discover gaucho traditions, and expeditions to uncrowded and natural places like Iguazú Falls, Patagonia, and Northern Argentina (Salta and Jujuy). For wine liver, trips to Mendoza are highly recommended. If you’re into wildlife spotting, Península Valdés in Patagonia is the spot to see whales and penguins, and Iberá Wetlands to see marsh deers, capybaras, and caimans.
The ‘Paris of South America’, this city is brimming with places and tourist attractions you wouldn’t want to miss out on. Buenos Aires sits on the coast of Río de la Plata, the widest river in the world. It takes 1 hour to reach the other coast, meaning, Uruguay!
This city is the jumping point for almost any trip to Argentina. In Buenos Aires are the international airport (best known for “Ezeiza”) and the domestic airport (called “Aeroparque”). From both you can fly to almost everywhere in the country. We recommend staying at least 5 days in Buenos Aires to wander the streets, the many cafés and taste the internationally famous Argentinian meat.
The land of “sun and delicious wine” is located in the western center of Argentina, and it is one of our favorite Argentina tour. Sitting at the foot of the Andes, Mendoza is the largest wine-producing region. It is a perfect destination for food lovers and adventurous travelers since it combines first-level gastronomic experiences with outdoor activities such as horseback riding and white water rafting.
Moreover, Mendoza is the lively home to 75% of the Malbec vines grown worldwide and a perfect location for its production. Because of the high altitude and low humidity of Mendoza, vineyards rarely face problems of insects, fungi, molds, and other grape diseases. This makes the cultivation with little or no pesticides easy.
Named one of the Seven Natural World Wonders in 2011, Iguazú Falls is the most visited destination of Argentina. These magical falls, also named Natural World Heritage, are shared by Brazil and Argentina. Both countries have national parks devoted to them, and they are sufficiently different in character to each merit a visit.
Iguazú comes from Guarani Native language and means “big water”. This name is completely perfect for the falls since, among its 250 waterfalls, there is the Devil’s Throat which is more than 82 meters high. The closest city to the Iguazú National Park on the Argentinean side is Puerto Iguazú, where 80% of the falls are located. This city was inhabited by the Guaraníes and then colonized by the Spanish Jesuits.
Patagonia extends from the province of Bariloche to Tierra del Fuego. This immense region offers scenery filled with lakes, fjords, glaciers, and steppes. “Patagonia” comes from the word “patagón” which was used by the Portuguese explorer Magellan to describe the Tehuelches (native communities), whom he thought to be giants.
Shared by Chile and Argentina, both countries offer different landscapes. While the Argentine side features arid steppes, grasslands, and deserts, the Chilean side has glacial fjords and temperate rainforests. This vast region is known for Perito Moreno Glacier, the penguins of Ushuaia, the most famous hiking trails in El Chaltén, and the diverse wildlife in Península Valdés.
This is one of the most beautiful and unexplored regions of Argentina. Known for its sophisticated appeal, this region has become a favorite among curious travelers from around the globe due to its natural beauty, historic architecture, excellent weather, and welcoming demeanor. Salta and Jujuy are the main provinces known as “the North”.
Salta, founded in 1582, is the starting point to explore northern Argentina tours. From this city, nicknamed “la linda” (the beauty), travelers hit the road towards the stunning Calchaquíes Valley and the city of Cafayate, the hometown of Torrontés wine. The province of Jujuy, located at the north of Salta, features the Humahuca Gorge, declared World Heritage by UNESCO, and the Great Salt Flats, a white paradise that all should visit once in their life! Northern Argentina is not only a trip to see fabulous landscapes but to get closer and learn from the humility of its locals and their ancient traditions.
This is the perfect destination for wildlife lovers. The Iberá Wetlands is one of the most important freshwater reservoirs in South America and the second-largest wetland in the world. This destination is located in the province of Corrientes, near Iguazú Falls (just a 4-hour bus trip away). The Iberá Wetlands have an immense variety of wildlife that include caimans, capybaras, swamp deer, pampas deer, howler monkeys, giant otters, anacondas, and greater rheas. This is the paradise for birdwatchers; Iberá Wetlands is home to more than 350 species of birds.
“Estancias” are essentially cattle ranches in Latin America or the southern region of the US. Argentina’s estancias are closely linked to the history and essence of its culture. They range from extremely simple — a family home with rooms for a few guests — to fancier, purpose-built country-house structures.
Located 75 miles away from Buenos Aires, El Ombú boasts an 1880 farmhouse where travelers can spend the day or lodge. This is the perfect place to relax and learn about Argentina’s gaucho culture. Twelve suites, a game room, two swimming pools, and volleyball pitches are some of the facilities you can enjoy in El Ombú. The ranch features more than 200 hectares of grazing livestock and agriculture and 350 heads of Aberdeen Angus cattle!
The many things that you have the opportunity to experience here are:
Estancia Cristina is our favorite in El Calafate in Patagonia Argentina. Built in 1914, today the estancia welcomes travelers from all over the world. Time has passed but the ranch is still only reachable by boat, with no land access. Prepare to live the true Patagonian experience! The Estancia offers high-quality accommodation and expeditions to spot glaciers since the ranch was constructed right at the heart of Glacier National Park. If you’re looking for an all-inclusive lodging experience, Estancia Cristina is your feet too.
Once in the estancia you can enjoy any of these activities:
It was founded in 1886 by Thomas Bridges the first white man to live in Tierra del Fuego. This is the perfect place to learn about the history of pioneers and explore their culture. As in the estancias mentioned before, you can lodge in Harberton, or enjoy a full-day visit to the main house to see the amazing gardens, the family cemetery and walk Tierra del Fuego National Park. Plus, Patagonian gastronomy is available for you to taste the best southernmost dishes!
In Estancia Harberton you can:
The best thing about this estancia in Mendoza is that it offers a combination of wine and recreation at one place. Club Tapiz in Mendoza is no different. The 22 acres of vineyards contain historical buildings, private rooms, breathtaking vista, and a chance at free wine tasting every evening.
What you can do in Tapiz:

The company was very insightful and we felt our itinerary was thoughtfully put together. We really liked the L Hotel. It had a great feel & location. The staff were very helpful and nice. The hotel in El Chalten was nice and close to the trails. They even made special gluten free bread for me without me even asking – they just brought it out when I came to breakfast. The hotel in El Calafate was very nice and had the best breakfast. The hotel in Puerto Natales was supposed to have a restaurant, but actually does not even though their website indicates they do. This did make it somewhat tricky to find a place to eat on Christmas for dinner. There are pictures on the website of a pool – it’s still there, but definitely needs some care put into it. Great location. We really enjoyed all of the tours. For the itinerary, we really enjoyed the vast majority of things picked and enjoyed the fact that everything was planned for us already. The tours were very good and the guides were all knowledgeable. I can’t pick a favorite place since they were all so unique and special in their own way. There were a couple of changes we would recommend. We arrived in Chile around 10pm on Christmas Eve – the ATM at the bus station didn’t work, the money exchange places were not open. But even if we did have Chilean pesos, there were no cabs, so we had to walk to our hotel. It was doable, but not ideal with our bags. We did not realize the New Years Eve was mainly spent with family or outside of Buenos Aires and that so many businesses would be closed. Luckily our hotel found a restaurant close by we could get into for a meal and celebration. We were unaware that EVERYTHING would be closed on new years day in Buenos Aires. Had we known this, we probably would have flown home 31 Dec instead on 1 Jan.
We loved Argentina! The people were so very kind and the parts of the country that we saw are beautiful. We really enjoyed the food. (I’m going to try my hand at making empanadas). We went on many hikes and took tons of photos. All the hotels were very comfortable and clean. The staff at the desks were helpful and friendly. The hotel at Torres del Paine was extra special and a real treat. The car rental worked out very well. Being able to travel on our own schedule was so much better than being on a tour (which we had planned to do before Covid hit and Chile closed its borders). We can’t thank you enough for the planning and all the arrangements made for us. We had a truly memorable time in the beautiful Argentina.
We have little else to say but THANKS for all of your help during the organization of our trip to Argentina, Uruguay and Chile. It has been an amazing experience for us all the way through and your ceaseless support has been truly paramount for us. We found an excellent level of service with you and everything was super smooth (contrarily to the Drake’s Passage…)! Your super kind guides helped us discover in depth and in a genuine way the life and costumes of South America. Needless to say, a big big thanks for the initial setup of the trip with us at the beginning! So again thank you so much for your precious help, Best Chiara y Matteo
We had an incredible experience. The only hiccup we had were the flights being overbooked and having to spend more time than needed at the airport. Overall, we loved all the excursions. We would 100% recommend Say Hueque. - At Iguazu, we enjoyed having the private guided tour to learn more about the falls and Rodrigo was great. It would have been nice to have an extra hour or so at the end to walk around ourselves and revisit some of the falls- they were so beautiful and could have spent the whole day there watching them! - For the hike at Torres del Paine, the guides were fantastic. We are just faster hikers and don’t typically hike in a group. I think for that excursion, having the option to take the bus there and do a hike on our own and bus back would have been nice. - The museum was closed in Ushuaia for the penguin rookery tour. Would recommend scheduling that tour on the days the museum is open if possible. Either way, seeing those penguins so close was so much fun! They’re so cute! - Wish we could have been there one extra day to watch Argentina win the World Cup while in Argentina! What a fantastic game!!! Thanks again for all your assistance with this. We had a wonderful time and hopefully one day we can go back (we really want to combine the O and the W for a backpacking trip in Torres del Paine!) All the guides and hotels were fantastic and we wish we had more time there, we really had the best honeymoon we could have asked for! Merry Christmas and happy New Year!
The trip was bucket list dream come true for Yukiko and became mine as well after discovering Patagonia with my own eyes! We are glad to rest in between and enjoyed the main experiences like gentle horse back riding with amazing view, mini hike on Perito Moreno Glacier, and hike at near Torres del Paine (we could not make to the main hike due to decided to rest). Even more, all the hotel, Frances Drake Hostel, Los Canelos Hotel, and Rio Serrano hotel had such a breath taking views and we want to thank you so very much for making our trip possible and wonderful. If it wasn't for your bright suggestions and help with changing our bus time, we would not have been able to complete our bucket list on our honeymoon. Happy holidays and best wishes!
I just wanted to tell you how much we appreciated your efforts in making our trip quite memorable. Memories come back every day. Ushuaia warmed my heart by the empanadas from Martinica Bar De Lomos. They were the best empanadas we’d eaten on the trip and the owner is very kind and fun. I would suggest that for anyone going to the end of the world. I also think our hotel may have been a bit too far from restaurants, 3.5kms, but overall, I did warm to the place! I feel like I’m going backwards on our trip starting with Ushuaia! The tours we did there were all very interesting and fun except we could have done without the Beagle Channel boat ride. Having the morning off would have been great but we could have cancelled as well. We loved the atmospheres of Puerto Natales and Punta Arenas. The former had a cool, hippy vibe. Punta Arenas was interesting except it was Sunday. Still, we wandered the streets to see all the architecture and ended up at Wake Up, a very cool breakfast and lunch place which I highly recommend as well. A bit limited for dinner on a Sunday but whatever. Hotel room was clean, breakfast was uneventful. Our time in Torres del Paine was amazing. The hostels were fantastic and the hiking and touring were crazy! The weather cooperated with us as well. Transportation was easy and we were confident with everyone getting us, and our luggage, to where we wanted to go. The funny thing was, when I was reading about staying in a hostel I didn’t think much about it because we normally stay with our kids in the hostels so, when I found out that we’d be with strangers the first thing that crossed my mind was, I better get some pajamas!! Turned out to be so great. We had great conversations with whoever we met and the hiking was beautiful. Very impressed with anyone who finished the ‘W’. El Chalten was strangely a really cool place. It makes everyone feel young again! We hiked up to Mt FitzRoy and then to Laguna Torre the next day. So beautiful. That La Lenga scent was encouraging us on! The hotel in El Chalten was just right. El Calfate was cool and we did our best shopping there except for Zoe’s sweater which we found in La Boca with Florencia. It reminded us of a similar town in Alberta, Canada. By the way, all the glaciers we saw were super and mind blowing and sad of course because they are melting so quickly. The refugio was perfect. Our time in the north was wonderful although maybe a bit too much driving. At the same time, that can’t be helped. Salt Flats were neat and I recommend taking the extra time to take the tour. In hindsight, we would have loved to have stayed in Purmamarca for another night. We really enjoyed ourselves in one restaurant where there were three boys playing their guitars and drums for us and singing, what I think were, folk songs. The hotel in Purmamarca was exactly what Jack and I love because it was beautiful and had a separate sitting area. We just might go back for some hiking in the area and then stay there so that we could cook our own meals. If we had done the trip backwards, we would have spent more time there. Gerardo did a fantastic job guiding and driving us safely around. It’s a lot of driving for him too but all very interesting. Lastly, we fell in love with Buenos Aires. Florencia gave us a wonderful tour and we really learned a lot about the city. The following day, we felt quite comfortable getting around and Florencia’s recommendations, the Hyatt for lunch for example, were bang on. Thank you so much for helping us with our trip. We have already recommended you to a friend although he is arriving on Saturday so little time, but you never know. Our many friends on facebook and instagram couldn’t believe what we saw so we will be recommending you to all of our friends. Gracias
Thanks for making our trip so wonderful. We loved our guides, Rosario and Fabian. And the accommodations were comfortable and within easy walking distance of shops and restaurants. The visits to the wineries were informative about the family histories, plus delicious food. I will not hesitate to recommend your services.
In a word, "fantastic" and all due to your great planning, coordination and documentation. "Thank you". All private transportation arrangements were on time, courteous, and clean. Most of the hotels lived up to their 3 star rating. The Torres Del Paine was great for viewing but the dusty pothole roads were an unpleasant necessity. Can't think of anything more to add except the 6 hour boat trip out of Ushuaia to "walk with the penguins" that didn't materialize but on the other hand, the End of the World train ride was an enjoyable highlight. Many thanks again
I write to you today to express my heartfelt gratitude for all that you have done for me. I deeply appreciated your kindness, patience and wonderful professionalism. All of my guides were lovely and knowledgeable people. I feel like I have made friends for life! I have fallen in love with Argentina and I cannot wait to come back with my husband. I hope that someday soon I can host you in India and reciprocate some of the amazing hospitality I experienced. I wish you and your company achieve even greater heights.
We are most thankful for the trip you designed for us, it was a real dream come true. Everyone we met, and all the natural scenic points we experienced was beyond our expectations. Such a privilege to explore Argentina/Patagonia 😊 We nearly panicked about our mandatory covid test to return, but fortunately Say Hueque arranged our tests most easily, we thank you. We so appreciate your response! Although it was all great, we must single out our Half-day Safari Experience with Patagonia Profunda for being such a cool, unexpected terrific experience. The guide, food and small group was sensational! All of the guides were so kind to us too. Believe me the entire trip was life altering, I lost my phone on Laguna les Tres trail, and things have changed forever. How fortunate for me. Thank you Daiana, and Say Hueque for being so attentive to our needs and providing such a wonderful package. We wish you all the best, and would love to return!
