Tour · 13 nights · with Explore Worldwide
A 13-night escorted tour through Argentina’s northwest with Explore Worldwide, tracing colourful Andean landscapes, ancient ruins and wine regions from Mendoza to Buenos Aires.
Highlights
Wine tasting in Mendoza and Cafayate vineyards
Hike to Horcones LagoonWith views of Aconcagua
Visit to Talampaya and Ischigualasto National Parks
Colourful hills of Purmamarca and Humahuaca Gorge
Tango and colonial districts of Buenos Aires
Explore Worldwide’s small-group tour begins in Mendoza, the centre of Argentina’s Malbec country, with visits to local wineries set against the Andes. The route then moves through dramatic landscapes including Aconcagua Provincial Park and El Leoncito National Park, where night skies may be as memorable as the scenery.
Journeys
The journey continues deeper into the northwest with days spent in Talampaya and Ischigualasto National Parks, sites marked by red rock canyons and fossils from the Triassic Period. There’s a long day on unpaved roads crossing the ‘Arrows Gorge’ to reach high-altitude villages like Cachi, while the route ends in Salta and Purmamarca, where colourful hills and pre-Columbian heritage mingle.
A short flight brings the group to Buenos Aires, where the colonial architecture contrasts with tango dancers in La Boca and bohemian corners of San Telmo. The itinerary balances long drives through remote areas with time in cities where local cafés and markets provide a gentler pace.
