Today’s adventure takes us off the beaten path to explore the life perspective of several Argentinian artists and their experiences through the shapes and colors in their work.

We will meet our guide and the rest of the group in San Telmo, where we will savor some local empanadas and talk about urban art and its meaning in local society. We start riding through Buenos Aires streets, admiring murals and local graffiti, and over a delightful meal, we will gain deeper knowledge of the past and its repercussions today. After this remarkable adventure, we will create our own artwork and leave our mark on the city. Finally, we will enjoy some leisure time to explore the city on our own.

Our driver will take us to the airport for our flight from Buenos Aires to El Calafate. Upon arrival we will be transferred to our hotel and prepare for an unforgettable excursion to Los Glaciares National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site home to 47 glaciers, including the renowned Perito Moreno Glacier. Named after an Argentine explorer, this advancing glacier creates one of South America’s greatest natural spectacles.

We board a boat to witness the glacier’s dramatic face from the water and from a network of walkways and viewpoints, we marvel at its towering 60-meter ice walls, which periodically calve into Lake Argentino and Lake Rico with thunderous splashes. As the day unfolds, we return to the hotel for a restful night.

Following a scenic drive to Puerto Punta Bandera, we set sail across the North Arm of Lake Argentino, passing through the Devil’s Mouth and navigating among massive icebergs calved from the Upsala Glacier. We then continue through the Spegazzini Channel, where we get our first glimpse of the Dry Glacier.

Sailing onward, we admire the towering walls of the Spegazzini Glacier, as well as the Heim Sur and Peineta glaciers. We disembark at Spegazzini Base to walk a forest trail leading to the Spegazzini Refuge, where panoramic windows offer spectacular views of the glaciers. After this breathtaking experience, we return to our El Calafate hotel.

For an optional extra tour, we can visit a historic Patagonian estate to experience traditional sheep farming and shearing, followed by a delicious local dinner.

After a transfer to the airport, we board our flight to Bariloche. Upon arrival, our guide will meet us and take us to the hotel before we begin exploring this charming city.

Our scenic drive takes us to Playa Bonita and the Llao Llao region, where we will visit the impressive San Eduardo Chapel. Further along, we cross the Angostura Bridge, which spans the river of the same name, leading us to breathtaking viewpoints overlooking Lake Moreno and the Llao Llao Peninsula.

Later, at the base of Cerro Campanario, we have the option to ascend to the summit by chairlift or on foot. The hike to the 1,050-meter-high summit takes approximately 30 minutes through a forested path. From the top, we are rewarded with a spectacular panoramic view of Nahuel Huapi and Moreno Lakes, El Trébol Lagoon, San Pedro Peninsula, Victoria Island, and the surrounding mountain ranges, as well as a stunning perspective of the city of Bariloche.

Today’s adventure takes us through the breathtaking landscapes of the Andes Patagonia. We will enjoy a unique experience where every curve along the 7 lakes route unveils a scene straight out of a postcard, with towering Coihue forests, snow-capped peaks, and crystal-clear lakes creating a setting of unparalleled natural beauty.

The journey invites us to make several stops and take short walks, including strolls around Lake Espejo Chico, Lake Hermoso, and the northern arm of Lake Traful. We will also visit the Arrayán Viewpoint, which offers stunning vistas of Lake Lácar and San Martín de los Andes. After a day of exploration, we return to our Bariloche hotel for a relaxing evening.

Our driver will take us to the airport for our flight back to Buenos Aires. Upon arrival, we will be transferred to our hotel and settle in.

Later in the day, we are treated to a time traveling experience into the soul of Buenos Aires through the magic of music. A spectacular tango show awaits, where the melodies of a live quartet—featuring piano, double bass, bandoneón, and violin—set the stage for an unforgettable performance. The elegance and passion of world-class dancers fill the venue with the energy, history, and traditions of tango. After an evening of mesmerizing dance, music, and exquisite cuisine, we return to our hotel, marking a perfect end to our Argentina adventure.

As our journey comes to an end, our driver will transfer us to the airport for our international flight. We leave with unforgettable memories of Argentina’s stunning landscapes, rich culture, and warm hospitality.
