Best Destinations for Families in Argentina

Iguazú’s National Park 

Iguazú offers a great variety of activities and experiences that will create ever-lasting memories for sure. Close-encounter with nature and wildlife, within a safe environment, is what Iguazú knows best. Chosen as one of the 7 New Natural Wonders of the World, speechless views are guaranteed. Walkways or boat trips are available for families to get to know the falls as near as they can safely go. Jungle adventure is in every corner! And for all ages! You can visit wildlife refuges, go trekking, ride the Ecological Train, 4×4 jeep ride, mountain bike or even Argentinian cooking lessons are available!

 

Patagonia

Patagonia vacation is a gift for families. Even though Patagonia might seem like a destination for high-risk adventure activities, it is full of family-friendly activities as well!  Horseback riding, easy walks, and navigations are just some of the safest experiences for the little ones in this region we recommend.

Buenos Aires

On the other hand, the city awaits! The cosmopolitan capital city of Argentina is a mandatory stop in your family trip itinerary. Interactive, artistic, or historical museums are placed all over the city. Great variety of restaurants where the whole family can experience high-quality local food. All in one trip! Outdoor activities can be done in the green zones such as The Botanical Garden, the Bosques of Palermo, and the Planetary with a beautiful lake full of small ducks, among others.

Mendoza

Vineyards, amazing landscapes, and soft adventure hikes await the whole family. Kids can learn about local art techniques from a professional artist, and make their own Mendoza souvenir to take back home. The Land of Wine is a great experience for adults to acknowledge how wine is done, and of course, taste the most high-level wines around the globe!

El Chaltén and El Calafate

A family Patagonia vacation must include El Chaltén and El Calafate. This region invites families to experience the combination of nature and local tradition. El Calafate boasts the Perito Moreno day trip that comes in its softer hiking version. El Chaltén is famous for its many hiking trails to falls, lakes, and viewpoints (to Mount Fitz Roy!). These are self-guided experiences so you can choose whether to take a low or high-difficulty path, the duration and distance you can or want to put up with. 

Make sure to include in your Patagonia vacation with your family a visit to an “Estancia”, a family ranches where Guacho’s (Argentinian cowboys) work. These two are the perfect locations for multigenerational trips: while adults enjoy a glass of wine with local food, children and teenagers can go horse-riding, shearing a sheep, or playing the vast Patagonian landscapes.

Ushuaia

Meeting the End of The World with the whole family on your multigenerational Patagonia vacation? Yes! Ushuaia is ready for you! This legendary destination offers the opportunity to have a one-of-a-kind experience: Enjoy a close encounter with penguins. Boats will take you to see these amazing animals within a safe environment for kids and adults. You may also enjoy riding the End of The World train, a thematic train that passes through the Tierra del Fuego National Park. High-level gastronomy is also available for the whole to enjoy.

Tips for Your Family Trip

Our Specialized Guides for Travelers of Different Ages

When thinking about a family trip to Argentina, you should consider these tips:

Choose a self-drive instead of a regular tour, especially on a Patagonia vacation. Think about the needs of every member of your family, and focus on planning a multi-generational trip. Consider the importance of being assisted by specialized guides trained to work with kids. Our family trip packages cater to all these needs and more.

Our guides are trained to engage with children and spark their interest, making each day of the trip an adventure full of laughing and learning. We focus on creating immersive travel experiences adapted to all ages for everyone to enjoy! This is what we’re talking about, keep reading!

 

Family Trips with Baby

When traveling with babies, the key is picking the right destination that offers the correct commodities for them, for example, booking mainly stroller-friendly activities is advisable. A great destination for family trips with babies is Iguazú National Park. It features walkways and common areas adapted for strollers, kid-friendly accommodations, and activities that will make your trip with your little explorer an adventure of a lifetime! Check out our Iguazu Falls Tours for more details.

 

Family Vacation with Infants

Toddlers are curious but still young so try to choose amusing yet safe experiences. Close encounters with local wildlife in a safe environment is an excellent choice for them. Visiting traditional “Estancias” (ranches) near Buenos Aires is a great plan for families with infants. Here the little ones are going to be able to learn about the Gaucho culture. They will enjoy farming activities such as cattle branding, dressage or milking, sheep shearing, and herding. This will be a deep and meaningful experience.

 

Family Trips with Young Adults

Teenagers need adrenaline and 24/7 activities in order not to get bored, right? And of course, accommodation with WiFi is a non-negotiable perk. Only if they don’t care about what the outside world is offering. Patagonian landscapes are the cure. Think of planning a family Patagonia vacation and head to El Calafate.

El Calafate involves exploring nature first-hand like hiking on the Perito Moreno’s Glacier. Even a mini trekking to get deeper into the glacier! Also, delicious local food like Patagonic Lamb, homemade chocolate, and “alfajores” will make your trip tasty and your kids stay away from the Wi-Fi password. The same, horseback riding and 4×4 adventure safaris will be hard to ignore for intrepid young adults. For more options, explore our trips in Patagonia.

Self-drive Family Vacation in Patagonia

Self-drive Family Vacation in Patagonia

Planning a vacation in Argentina, specifically a trip to Patagonia with your family, can be a fun experience. Renting a car gives you great independence for stopping whenever you need to and staying as long as you want at spots you find amusing or interesting.

One of the greatest road trips for families in Argentina is the Route of the 7 Lakes (Ruta de Los 7 Lagos) in Patagonia!

Some tips to take into consideration on your Patagonia vacation on the road:

If you see a gas station, always use the opportunity to fill up your tank. Always respect traffic signs (a dictionary in Spanish comes in handy), and use seatbelts and baby chairs to have a safe family trip on the road. Travel in comfortable clothes as you will probably stop often to sit on the ground and enjoy a picnic while staring at a breathtaking view! Take shifts to drive. Distances can be quite long between destinations. Drink mate! Our national tea-type drink will help to keep you alert.

 

Family Vacation: Multi-generational Trips

Have you ever thought “Well, I find this trip very interesting, but Grandpa won’t feel the same way neither will the kids”? Multigenerational trips can be the answer and Argentina is a perfect country to enjoy your vacations! This kind of family vacation suggests choosing versatile activities that may be easily adaptable to kids, teenagers, adults, or seniors throughout the whole trip.

 

How to choose a tour for everyone?

The key is accurate knowledge about destinations that are up to the multigenerational proposal. Most family travel tours offered by the travel industry target a traditional family model (2 middle-aged grown-ups and 2 kids). Members needing special assistance fall out of this one-way schema. That’s when we come in: We are here to provide you with our expertise and knowledge to plan a meaningful Argentina family holiday adapted to all tastes. Nobody stays at home anymore!
