Day 1: Welcome to Argentina!
We’ll help you choose flights that arrive with the group at Ezeiza International Airport in Buenos Aires.
Joy, our Argentinian guide, will greet us at the airport. For morning arrivals, we get a jump on the day! We’ll have coffee and refreshments, and see some of the most iconic spots in the city. We’ll see the roses and statues of famous poets at El Rosedal Garden, as well as the towering Obelisk monument.
Our rooms will likely be ready for check-in at 3 pm, and we’ll have time to rest before walking to dinner at our favorite neighborhood spot.
Meals included: Welcome Dinner
Day 2: El
Tigre Delta
We will start our morning with breakfast to prepare for our trip to Puerto Madero, an exclusive waterfront neighborhood and former port area in Buenos Aires.
Sit back and relax while we take a catamaran to the Tigre Delta. We will explore the Museo de Arte Tigre, eat lunch, and shop with locals in Puerto de Frutos.
We will drive back to Buenos Aires and have some free time before we get ready for our traditional Asado Dinner experience.
Meals included: Breakfast, Dinner
Day 3: North Buenos Aires
We will take this day to explore the Recoleta Cemetery - where former Argentine presidents Sarmiento and Raúl Alfonsín were buried. We will explore the Recoleta neighborhood, slowly driving through the mansion zone and taking in the beautiful architecture.
Lunch will be at El Preferido Micheline, awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand for its high-quality cuisine, housed in a historic mid-19th century building.
Enjoy some free time in the afternoon before our late night out! We’ll go to a milonga for the public tango lessons, out for pizza, then enjoy watching the locals, or dancing among them, to the stunning tango music.
Meals included: Breakfast, Dinner
Day 4: South Buenos Aires
After breakfast, we will visit the iconic places in the south end of the city.
We’ll visit the oldest and most historic square in the city, the Plaza de Mayo. This is surrounded by landmarks like the Casa Rosada (presidential palace) and the Metropolitan Cathedral. You’ll see Eva Perón’s iconic balcony where she delivered her most emotional addresses to the working class in the 1950’s.
Next we’ll go to the vibrantly painted La Boca neighborhood, a global hub for street art and football (soccer) culture. We will enlighten our taste, smell, and touch senses with coffee and a lesson with the local artist, participating in a fileatado porteño painting activity.
The brightly painted San Telmo neighborhood will be our target for lunch and wine tasting. Following that, we’ll have a Fileteado Porteño painting workshop where you can put your creative talents to work. In the late afternoon return to our hotel neighborhood for free time for some free time and packing for tomorrow’s flight.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch
Day 5: Flight to Iguazu Falls
We have an early morning checkout from the hotel flight from the regional airport to Iguazu International Airport, 2 hours away.
Lilian, our Iguazu guide, will pick us up at the airport and drive us across the border into Brazil. We’ll visit the stunning bird sanctuary, where many local endangered species have been rescued, and you’ll even see real Harpy Eagles (in addition to the figuring I’m kneeling by in the photo).
We’ll check in at the hotel and have time to freshen up before a big night out at Churrascaria Rafain with a dinner buffet and show.
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
Day 6: The Great Panoramas of Foz do Iguaçu
Today is all about the grand scale of the falls, and be sure to pack your rain jacket or poncho!
We’ll arrive at the Iguazu National Park on the Brazilian side for a leisurely two-hour walk along the concrete panoramic path. The views are breathtaking, especially for people from draught-ridden states like Colorado!
For the ultimate thrill, we’ll board a Zodiac boat to navigate the river and experience the power of the falls. We’ll get soaked, but it is our last activity before heading back to the hotel for free time before dinner.
Meals included: Breakfast
Day 7: Iguazú Falls
We’ll start our morning with breakfast before departing for the Argentina-side of Iguazú National Park. Rather than sweeping views, you’ll be up close with exotic wildlife; butterflies, large Toco Toucans (hopefully), and Amazon Kingfishers. There are many elevated paths where you can walk right over the water.
We will eat lunch in the park and explore the Upper Circuit, a mile-long flat trail that offers incredible bird’s-eye views from the very edge of various falls.
From the park we’ll head to the local airport, change into fresh clothes, and fly back to Buenos Aires.
We’ll be staying in a new neighborhood for the last two nights, so you can explore Palermo.
Meals: Breakfast
Day 8: Buenos Aires
Our last full day will start with early morning birdwatching with a local guide. You’ll see many exotics that we’ve never seen int he U.S., like the national bird, Rufous Hornero, whose nests look like a little pizza oven on a tree branch.
After lunch, we go the renowned National Art Museum, followed by rooftop drinks at the Palacio Barolo for our last sunset.
Meals included: Breakfast
Day 9: Cooking Class and Departure
If we have an evening flight, we will have time to explore Puerto Madero, Teatro Colon, and the Plaza Lavalle. Our cooking class with Tatiana will give us a chance to perfect the Argentinian empanadas.
We’ll head to the airport 3 hours before departure, saying goodbye to our lovely Argentina, with memories of all the adventures we’ve had.
Hopefully we can return soon!
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch
