12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 1: Welcome To Buenos Aires

Welcome to Argentina!

Upon your arrival, you will be transferred to your hotel and have the rest of the day to enjoy at your own pace.

Buenos Aires is a marvelous and furious cosmopolitan city, full of colors and different kinds of architecture. Capital of Argentina and described as the Paris of South America, Buenos Aires proudly embraces this title, as well as showing off plenty of its own culture!

Argentines are usually eager to host visitors: if you walk the streets with a map, someone will surely stop and ask if you need directions. That’s our spirit! So, for this first day, feel free to wander the cobblestone streets lined with outdoor cafes, enjoy the mouthwatering aroma of prized Argentine beef sizzling on an open “parrilla” (barbecue) and browse the local antique and artisan markets that offer plenty of bargain shopping. And to travel deeper and have a firm grip of the Argentine spirit, find the perfect leather jacket or handbag (Buenos Aires is home to some excellent local designers) and explore the colorful Palermo Soho neighborhoods.

Day 2: Buenos Aires Half Day City Tour & Argentine Experience Dinner

We will explore the vibrant heart of Buenos Aires on our captivating half-day city tour, starting with convenient pickups in the stylish Palermo Soho district. This journey offers a direct and immersive encounter with the city’s essence.

Our initial destination is Plaza de Mayo, a historic epicentre enveloped by iconic landmarks such as the Casa Rosada (Government House), the awe-inspiring Metropolitan Cathedral, and the storied Cabildo, a relic of Spanish colonial rule. At the opposite end of Avenida de Mayo stands the imposing Congress building, a testament to Argentina’s rich political history.

The journey southward takes us to San Telmo Market, where the city’s vibrant energy comes to life. From there, we venture into the birthplace of Tango, La Boca, a kaleidoscope of colors and culture. Along Caminito Street, you will encounter talented artists showcasing their mesmerizing Tango-inspired artworks.

Continuing our exploration, we briefly pause at Puerto Madero, a once-abandoned port district now transformed into a sleek, modern enclave. The contrasts in Buenos Aires landscape are both striking and intriguing.

Our path then leads us to Palermo, a neighboorhood adorned with lush parks, including the old City Zoo, the Botanical Garden, the Argentine Horsetrack, the esteemed National Polo Field, and the Planetarium. Here, nature and leisure converge harmoniously.

To culminate this remarkable journey, we visit Recoleta, one of Buenos Aires most glamorous neighborhoods, known for its elegant charm and rich history and its Cementery, where Eva Perón rests in peace.

At the end of the tour, we will take you back to your hotel.

The night includes a cocktail-making class (learn how to make wine-based cocktails under the guidance of a sommelier), empanada competition and what we believe is the best steak in town.

Led by passionate local and expat hosts, the evening quickly turns to shared laughter and joy as you take a unique look at some curious quirks and customs that make Argentineans some of the most interesting and passionate people of Latin America.

Welcome to Salta!

Upon arrival in Salta you will be transferred to your hotel.

Salta has it all: the geographical diversity (green, red and brown mountains) and the historical richness. Do not forget that, in these lands, one day they fought for the independence of Argentina! It also has exquisite and well-preserved colonial architecture, picturesque and very crowded cafes in the main square (a great place to sit and watch the locals in their daily hustle and bustle!), and the characteristic and fun peñas, places where Salteños sit and listen to their local folklore idols, and then end up dancing (after one or two encouraging glasses of wine) together.

The perfect base to explore the Argentinian Northern area is Salta city

Keep in mind that religion is very important here: religiously speaking, people take a siesta in Salta... so between 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. it will be more difficult for you to find the places open, so take advantage of it to take your first northern siesta!
