The rest of your time in Buenos Aires is free to discover the city and enjoy meals at local restaurants on your own.

You’ll then venture south to El Calafate for a look at a different kind of Argentine beauty – the natural kind. Discover why Patagonia is one of South America’s most stunning regions on a guided tour to Los Glaciares National Park, one of the largest national parks in Argentina and home to various lakes, numerous glaciers, the rugged Mt Fitz Roy and excellent hiking and trekking trails. Admire the famous, and huge, Perito Moreno Glacier from several walkways in the park, and learn about the region from your expert guide as you travel through the park by bus and on foot.

Breakfast is included at your accommodation each morning; dinner can be enjoyed during your free time in the evenings (your guide will be happy to recommend local places).
