Discover the charms of Palermo, the Recoleta Cemetery, the Teatro Colon, the Plaza de Mayo, San Telmo, and La Boca. With your private guide, you have the flexibility to explore at your own pace and make detours and stops along the way.
After your tour, you are free to spend the rest of the day exploring on your own, trying out one of the city’s excellent restaurants.
*Includes: Breakfast
Delve deeper into the city’s offerings with your private guide. Today’s tour will broaden your Buenos Aires experience by including activities that cater to your interests. Examples of such activities include a Jewish Heritage Tour, an architecture tour, a visit to the Boca Juniors Stadium, a tango class, and a culinary or wine tour.

Fly to El Calafate, gateway to Los Glaciares National Park in Argentine Patagonia. Upon arrival you will be transferred out of the city to Eolo, a Relais & Châteaux property and the most refined accommodation option in the area. From Eolo’s 10,000 acre property enjoy privileged views of the Patagonian steppe and mountains.
Eolo is located on the side of a small mountain about 40 minutes outside El Calafate, on the way to the Perito Moreno Glacier. A Relais & Châteaux property, the 17-suite Eolo is the most refined accommodation in the area, with superb service, beautiful rooms, and excellent views of the surrounding Patagonian steppe and Andes. This remote lodge sits on a 10,000 acre property evoking the traditional Patagonian estancia, with views of Lago Argentino, La Anita Valley, and Torres del Paine. The lodge offers a restaurant and bar, library, pool, and sauna. Its privileged location between the town of El Calafate and Perito Moreno Glacier means that it is a shorter drive to view the glacier and is far removed from the increasing sprawl of the town.
Alternative lodging options: Estancia Helsingfors , Estancia Nibepo Aike
Enjoy a unique excursion to the iconic Perito Moreno Glacier. You won’t just view the glacier from a distance – you’ll take a catamaran ride to the front of the glacier and do a short hike on the ice itself. (Crampons will be provided; this is a non-technical and non-strenuous walking excursion. We can also arrange more challenging and strenuous treks on the glacier.) Afterward, visit the viewing areas for great views of the glacier before returning to your hotel for the evening.
*Includes: Breakfast, Lunch
Today you have free to relax or enjoy one of the excursions offered at Eolo. These may include horseback riding, trekking to the Cerro Frias viewpoint, or mountain biking on the 10,000 acre property.
An exceptional day getting even further into the Patagonian wilderness by boat. Half the appeal is the journey that is required to reach this remote and historic estancia which is only accessible by a 3 hour navigation across Lake Argentina. Pass icebergs and get a great view of the Upsala Glacier from the water before meeting your hosts at the estancia.
With a remote and spectacular location next to Glacier National Park in Southern Patagonia, this lakeside historic home offers an ideal base for exploring the 35-mile-long Upsala Glacier, the largest glacier in all of South America. It takes 2 hours by boat to arrive to the lodge and there are a variety of excursions available. Its style pays homage to its long history as a ranching outpost. Estancia Cristina can also be visited as a day trip while staying in the area of El Calafate.
*Includes: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Today you have the opportunity to take advantage of several excursions offered by Estancia Cristina. 4×4 up a mountain trail that crosses forests and rivers, arriving to a lookout point of the Upsala Glacier and the Southern Patagonia Ice Field. Or take a horseback ride up the Catarina River Valley to one of the many fishing lagoons and lookout points.
Return to El Calafate by boat then transfer north to another spectacular area of Los Glaciares National Park, the famed hiking town of El Chalten. Check-in to your luxury accommodations located 10 miles outside of town that features views of the Electric Valley and Marconi Glacier.
The Explora El Chaltén is located about 10 miles outside El Chaltén on the Los Huelmules Reserve, and offers views of the Electrico Valley and Marconi Glacier. The lodge offers a restaurant, bar, and spa. This lodge is an excellent base from which to explore Argentine Patagonia, a world-renowned destination for trekking and natural beauty. Your all-inclusive stay at Explora includes daily excursions with bilingual guides to see the region's top highlights, such as Los Glaciares National Park and Mount Fitz-Roy.
Over the next few days enjoy small group excursions with Explora’s experienced guides. You may want to take the iconic hikes to the base of Mt. Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre, or go farther afield and view the Huemul or Piedras Blancas Glaciers.
Today you’ll say goodbye to Patagonia and transfer to El Calafate’s airport for your departing flight.
