Argentina Highlights
12 DAYS Starting from $6,290 per person
Taking in waterfalls, glaciers, penguins, whales and one of the world’s great capitals, this 12-Day Argentina Highlights never ceases to amaze. After exploring captivating, cosmopolitan Buenos Aires for two full days, you’ll head North to the Iguazu Falls, the largest – and most beautiful – waterfall system in the world. From there it’s on to Peninsula Valdes, the marine cornucopia that David Attenborough can’t get enough of, before finishing things off on a glacier-spotting adventure in El Calafate in the deep South of Patagonia.
