CARBON REDUCTION

Argentina’s vast landscapes mean that some longer journeys are necessary to experience its different regions. This itinerary combines stays in Buenos Aires, Iguazú and the Uco Valley, giving travellers time to explore each destination rather than moving on after just one night.

Flights connect Buenos Aires, Iguazú and Mendoza, helping cover the considerable distances between them. Within each destination, experiences include walking through Buenos Aires and exploring the Paraná Delta by boat. In the Uco Valley, a dedicated cycling day between bodegas offers a more active way to discover the vineyards and surrounding landscape.

Food and wine are an important part of the experience, from vineyard lunches in Mendoza to traditional Argentine asado. These experiences introduce travellers to regional cuisine, local wine and the agricultural traditions that shape the country’s food culture.

ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE

The itinerary includes visits to Iguazú National Park in Argentina and Iguaçu National Park in Brazil, where spectacular waterfalls sit within a richly biodiverse rainforest landscape. These protected areas offer opportunities to learn about the region’s natural heritage and the importance of safeguarding its habitats.

At Parque das Aves, visitors can learn about native bird species and the challenges they face, including habitat loss and wildlife trafficking. Wildlife experiences on this itinerary focus on observation rather than direct contact.

In Iguazú, the accommodation is set within the Iryapú forest area, offering a stay surrounded by subtropical vegetation. In Mendoza’s Uco Valley, vineyard visits provide insight into the region’s agricultural landscape and the role of viticulture in its identity. Together, these experiences encourage a greater appreciation of Argentina’s varied environments and the relationship between nature, tourism and local livelihoods.
