Northern Argentina slow travel holiday

Planet

The itineraries we create are guided by three aims: looking after the places we visit, supporting local communities and helping our guests travel responsibly. To do this, we work with a local team on the ground who share our values.

While you're on the ground, we ask everyone to follow simple rules: taking all rubbish out, sticking to marked paths and keeping a respectful distance from wildlife. Visits to national parks such as Iguazú include park entry fees, which help fund the running of the parks.

Many of the activities are on foot or by kayak, including walking tours and hikes, and excursions run in small groups, which means fewer vehicles on the road and less pressure on busy sites. Local guides explain the ecosystems you're visiting, from the rainforest at Iguazú to the Iberá Wetlands, and share practical tips on how to reduce your impact.

The slow pace means more nights in each place and less time travelling between them.

People

People are at the heart of everything we do. All our operations are local, from suppliers and transfers to guides, which means employment for residents and storytelling rooted in Argentine culture.

You'll get to know the country through experiences such as a walking tour of Buenos Aires' neighbourhoods and history, visits to locally run wineries, and a stop at Salinas Grandes to see how salt is harvested and browse sculptures made by local artisans.

All of the hotels on this itinerary buy from local producers and cook with local, seasonal food, supporting farmers and nearby suppliers.
