Description of Best of Argentina holiday
This best of Argentina holiday does exactly what it promises to do and takes you to the country’s top natural highlights, as well as throwing in some big city thrills. You’ll have two days to soak up the atmosphere of vibrant Buenos Aires – taking in a tango show and enjoying a guided tour of the city’s top sights. Then it’s off to El Calafate in the Patagonian steppe, the gateway to Los Glaciers National Park and one of the country’s most dramatic landscapes.
Next, you’ll follow the famed Route 40 to get to El Chalten, Argentina’s hiking capital. You’ll spend two days having adventures (as gentle or as tough as you like!) in this pristine wilderness. Ushuaia - a beautiful city backed by snow-capped mountains and facing the ocean - is your next and final stop. Over the next two days, you’ll get to explore Tierra del Fuego National Park and take a boat excursion along the Beagle Channel, spotting diverse marine wildlife as you go along.
Our trips are tailor made so can be customised in any way that you like, including adding extra days and destinations.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Enjoying the fabulous open spaces and scenery of Patagonia, including day hikes in El Chalten and from Ushuaia.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
The private City Tour of Buenos Aires is well worth doing - it's a brilliant way of seeing all the main sights of the city in a relatively short time. You can then go back and explore areas on your own. Public transport is easy to use - it takes a long time to walk in the city as the main sights are spread out.
Only do the a day in the countryside/ranch visit if you feel you have done everything else in Buenos Aires that you want to do. Whilst it was a very relaxing trip and a lovely lunch, there's not much to see and only a short (20 min) horse ride.
If you enjoy day hikes do some research on apps etc. in advance to get some routes as the information on the ground is quite patchy (even though the trails themselves are generally well marked).
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
To some extent, by using local guides and operators.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
An excellent trip from start to finish. Completely bespoke to our requirements and the tour company was available to answer all questions/deal with emergencies throughout e.g. when our flight was changed. The hotels were all excellent and well chosen.

-Say Bosque Regeneration Commitment
Through Say Bosque initiative, each journey contributes directly to native forest restoration projects in Patagonia, embedding carbon reduction and regeneration into the cost of travel itself. In collaboration with ReforestArg, we plant ten trees for every traveler to contribute to the cherished landscapes we adore.
