Buenos Aires and Patagonia holiday in Argentina
Description of Buenos Aires and Patagonia holiday in Argentina
On this fourteen day tailor made tour you’ll take in Argentina’s top highlights, from the buzzing streets of Buenos Aires to the dramatic scenery of Southern Patagonia. You’ll start in Argentina’s leading metropolis, where you’ll tour the city’s historic streets and spend a night out in a Tango house. Next, it’s on to Patagonia, whose famous landscapes are among the most striking on the continent. You’ll visit the 80m high ice walls of the Perito Moreno Glacier, take in the otherworldly vistas of Torres del Paine National Park, and sail along the Beagle Channel, viewing its diverse marine wildlife. And then there’s time spent in lively Ushuaia, the city at the end of the world.
As this is a tailor-made trip, you can tinker with it as you wish, adding extra days and destinations - a visit to Mendoza’s wineries, or the thundering Iguazu Falls, perhaps? If you fancy a bit more (or less) luxury we can adjust your itinerary accordingly. Whatever you choose, talk to us and we’ll help you sort out your adventure.

1 Reviews of Buenos Aires and Patagonia holiday in Argentina
Reviewed on 25 Mar 2025 by Louise Couillard-Ziperman
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
I can't pinpoint which part was the most memorable. The glaciers were impressive. The Quebrada De La Conchas mountains breathtaking. Iguazu waterfalls were a sight to behold;' not to be missed. And the Tango show in Buenos Aires was thoroughly enjoyable and gave us a taste of the country we were about to discover.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Make sure to verify all the information of your itinerary on Vamoos. Do not be afraid to question your guides and the operator on things that you are uncertain about. Pack light. Do not book Delvino hotel; there was black mold on the walls outside. The room was old, paint peeling and dirty. Could have used a coat of paint. The bedsheets were old and stained. There was no refrigerator in the room and very few plugs to use with cell phone, camera, electronic equipment.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
I do. We purchased several items from Argentinos that were crafted by them. We ate at many local restaurants. We tipped our guides, chauffeurs and wait persons generously. We threw our trash in designated receptacles.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
It was a trip of a lifetime. My head is full of memorable and wonderful memories.
