Welcome to Buenos Aires, the metropolitan capital of Argentina! A private car will pick you up from the Ezeiza International Airport and transfer you to your hotel.
After you’ve had a chance to freshen up and settle in, head out for an afternoon city tour. Beginning in Plaza de Mayo (home to Casa Rosada, where Eva Perón famously stood on the balcony), passing through the colorful La Boca neighborhood, and ending in the affluent barrio of Recoleta (where the city’s cemetery is located).
To end your first day in Argentina, you will attend a magnetic tango performance before returning to your hotel.

Brimming with delicious food, rich history, and a lively contemporary art scene, you will quickly find there is no shortage of things to do and see in Argentina’s capital. We suggest honing in on your particular interest– be it art, history, or food- and letting that guide your day.
Keep in mind, this is your last full day in Buenos Aires before moving on to another region of the country.

Today a private car will pick you up from your hotel and transfer you to the airport in order to catch your flight to Ushuaia, a windswept town located on the archipelago of Tierra del Fuego. Considered the southernmost city of the Americas, this quiet town has been nicknamed the End of the World.

Get the most out of your stay in Ushuaia by exploring the surrounding area by land and sea! In the morning you will head to the Tierra del Fuego National Park, from where you can take in panoramic views of the Beagle Channel. Journey through beaver dams to reach rivers and lagoons before continuing along the final stretch of National Route 3, an extensive Argentine highway. On the way back to Ushuaia, you will stop by the peaceful Lake Acigami, formally known as Lake Roca. This body of water stretches nearly 7 miles along the border between Argentina and Chile.
Hop in a boat in the afternoon to sail through the Beagle Channel, with Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse as your turnaround point. The surrounding mountains will be a steady companion as you spot flocks of birds and sea lion colonies, even learning the difference between sea lions and fur seals along the way. After reaching the so-called Lighthouse at the End of the World, you will return to Ushuaia for a restful night.

Today a private car will pick you up from your hotel and transfer you to the airport in order to catch your flight to El Calafate, located near the edge of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field.
After settling into your hotel in El Calafate, you will have the afternoon at leisure to explore the town, known as the gateway to some of Argentina’s most spectacular glaciers. Consider a visit to the Glaciarium, an entertaining and educational museum dedicated to glaciers.

This morning you will depart from your hotel for the precious opportunity to witness Perito Moreno Glacier, one of the few glaciers in the world that is still advancing. Part of the Los Glaciares National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Perito Moreno is an impressive river of ice that covers nearly 160 square miles, with a front wall that reaches up to 200 feet above lake level.
You will have the chance to admire this impressive natural site from various angles thanks to a 2.5-mile boardwalk located in front of the mammoth glacier. And keep your camera ready, as every 10-20 minutes a chunk of ice tends to crumble from this glacier! If desired, hop on a one-hour boat ride which provides another perspective of Perito Moreno.
In the afternoon, return to your hotel for a restful finish to the day.
