My husband and a friend travelled for around 25 days visiting some of the most beautiful destinations in Argentina and Chile. Our favourite part was Mendoza and Bariloche for its exceptional landscapes and gastronomy. It is a trip that will remain in our memory forever.
Lucia Medina | Traveled in September
We did this tour for our anniversary. We wanted to travel to LatinAmerica before but as there are many places to visit we needed more days until we could accommodate our jobs to do it and it was an amazing experience. It is a great tour to visit the main destinations combining Argentina and Chile. The trip also includes the most important tours in each destination in order not to worry about it during the trip.
Anh Hoang | Traveled in September
I did a very similar trip to this in March of this year and everything was just perfect. The company works with small and nice centric hotels which were just a great selection. The staff at each destination was very helpful and kind. Bariloche and Ushuaia were my favourite places in Argentina.
