Argentina Tour Package

You'll embark on an enlightening tour following breakfast to have a deeper grasp of Argentina's history and culture in addition to gaining an overview of Buenos Aires. This three-hour tour includes visits to both Retiro and South America's largest avenue, Avenida 9 de Julio. The famous Obelisco monument and Teatro Colon, the most lavish opera venue on the continent, are located along this route. Additionally, you will walk through the city's beautiful and historically significant city center, which is home to the Casa Rosada (Presidential Palace), Plaza de Mayo, Avenida de Mayo, and the Congress Building. After that, stroll around Puerto Madero's posh waterfront promenades before continuing on to San Telmo, the city's oldest neighborhood. You will then visit La Boca, the city's original port. Savor a delicious dinner in the evening, paired with unrestricted wine and a tango performance—one of Argentina's most famous cultural events. Following this amazing adventure, you'll return to your hotel to unwind for the evening.

Gauchos are as much a part of Argentina culture as cowboys are of North America. Since the country was first populated in the pampas (prairies) that surround the city, this frontier culture is most prevalent there. Whether they are the legendary figures of epic Argentine poetry like Martín Fierro or the real-life riders that are still in existence today, gauchos are national emblems in Argentina. You'll get an authentic gaucho experience today. After being picked up in the morning, you'll be taken to a working Argentine estancia, or ranch, called Santa Susana. Here, you'll be treated to a welcome reception with soft beverages, wine, and empanadas. You'll take a guided tour of the estate, go horseback riding, or maybe take a carriage ride, and then enjoy a traditional folkloric music performance, to which everyone is welcome to join in the dancing. We're going to have an Argentine asado (mixed grill) for lunch, accompanied by some of that wonderful wine from Argentina. Then, authentic gauchos will demonstrate their skill with the bolas, which are customary throwing weapons made of rounded weights fastened together with cords. Their presentations will show how these seemingly basic weapons can be used to take down cows, horses, and even humans when handled properly. You'll be treated to more entertainment after lunch. This time, the gauchos will display their skills in a series of exploits called carreras de sortijas, or ring races. These demonstrate the cowboys' exceptional riding abilities and are typical of gaucho equestrian competitions. At the estancia, you will round off the day with a late-afternoon serving of mate, the well-known tea-like beverage that is an essential component of Argentine culture. When you return to your hotel in the evening, you will have experienced a typical Argentine frontier, so you can relax and appreciate that.

One nibble (and sip) at a time is how you really get to know Argentine culture. Although its beef may be the defining feature of its cuisine, a closer look reveals a more varied selection of meals. And with its bustling center, Buenos Aires is the ideal destination for an enjoyable and educational introduction to this gastronomic legacy. This is where the Argentine Experience comes into play, giving you the chance to partake in a friendly culinary tour that honors excellent wine and food from Argentina. This unique "dinner party" is held in the hip Palermo neighborhood. Guests share a table and savor gourmet fare and the nation's most well-known wine, like the Malbec varietal. Skilled hostesses lead you through the evening, highlighting the distinctiveness of Argentine culture and how it manifests itself in the cuisine of the country. You will learn how to create exquisite alfajores (Argentine biscuits) and how to seal empanada dough using the traditional repulgue folding technique. Additionally, you will discover how to make maté, the nation's staple herbal tea. To start the evening, you'll make three distinct wine cocktails and some delectable tapas to go with them. You will also sample various boutique wines from the house cellar as the evening wears on. By the time the trip is over, you will have sufficient first-hand knowledge of this nation's traditional cuisine and drink to be regarded as an authority on Argentine cuisine.

Savor your final moments in the vibrant metropolis of Buenos Aires. Your driver will come to collect you up at the appointed hour and bring you in a private vehicle to Ezeiza International Airport so you can catch your flight back home.
