  Regional Tours


PROGRAMS STARTING IN BUENOS AIRES          View Regional Map  
The Pampas is perhaps the best-known region in Argentina. The bare mention of its name is enough to bring forth a feeling of legend, mystery and infinitude. It is a word of Quechua origin meaning "treeless plain". As a matter of fact, most of its surface is composed by vast grasslands and crops where the image of the "gaucho" is still present in the mores inherited by countrymen. The main city in the region is Buenos Aires, "la Reina del Plata" (the Queen of the River, as the tango lyrics go) and the starting point for any itinerary within Argentina. Here you will find city modules and tours of Argentina starting from its capital city. 

PROGRAMS STARTING IN PATAGONIA     View Regional Map
Millennial forests with native species extend to the top of the mountains, where nature overflows with granite peaks and ice fields spreading their glacier tongues into lakes of unsurpassable beauty. Imposing mammals spend seasons on its rough coasts where they complete part of their life cycle, the largest colony of Magellanic penguins in the world is in Punta Tombo. In the south, Los Glaciares National Park is the largest ice-field outside of Antarctica and Tierra del Fuego and the World’s southernmost city, Ushuaia, are the gateway towards the vast and mysterious Antarctica. Program services start in Patagonia. 

PROGRAMS STARTING IN THE NORTHWEST     View Regional Map
One of the most attractive regions due to the infinite variety of its colors and its scenery: the colorful slopes of the Andes and the gorges, the reddish wind-carved rock formations of the Cafayate Gorge, the whitish dryness of the Puna, the bright light green of the cropped Calchaquí Valleys and the lusty green of the subtropical jungles. The Northwest has also preserved its colonial heritage, especially in the architecture and here one finds the best preserved colonial cities along with archaeological ruins and the famous "Train to the Clouds". A region where the sky seems to be closer than anywhere else. Program services start in the North-West. 

PROGRAMS STARTING IN THE CENTER & CUYO      View Regional Map
Cuyo is the region of the high peaks, the snow-covered volcanoes, and the large wilderness spreading from the Andes mountain range to the steppe. The visit to Ischigualasto - Talampaya Natural Parks, is a true journey to the dinosaurs era. The Cuyo region also displays the full splendor of the Andes with Aconcagua, at 6.959 m, the highest and most respected peak in the Western Hemisphere. In the valleys of La Rioja, Mendoza and San Juan, among leaves of grapevines, farms and wineries, visitors can go along the Wine Road, an attraction of international renown. Program services start in the Centre & Cuyo area. 

PROGRAMS STARTING IN THE NORTHEAST      View Regional Map
From the gentle slopes of Entre Ríos to the wet marshes of Corrientes and the red hills of Misiones, natural and cultural patrimonies of unique beauty can be admired in the middle of the exuberant vegetation: the spectacular Iguazú Falls, the magic Iberá Marshes, the Palmar National Park in Entre Ríos, the majestic Jesuit Ruins of San Ignacio, the summer carnivals and the visits to native comunities in Chaco and Formosa Provincies.
