Luxury Holidays In Argentina - 2026/2027

With its European flair, Latin spirit, dramatic landscapes, and gastronomic delights, Argentina is a South American nation that seduces like no other. Our Argentina luxury holidays offer sophistication and adventure in equal measure. From the elegant boulevards and vibrant tango halls of Buenos Aires to the serene vineyards of Mendoza and the dramatic landscapes of Patagonia, Argentina is a land of striking contrasts and rich experiences. We know the country intimately, and employ our years of experience to design tailor-made Argentina tours that showcase the nation in all of its glory, at a pace and style of travel to suit you.

Our luxury vacations in Argentina can include private wine tastings, authentic estancia stays, glacier trekking with expert guides, and helicopter flights over the majestic Iguazu Falls. Huge diversity can be found across Argentina’s vast terrain. Fine dining and live tango in Buenos Aires complement asado barbecues enjoyed under the stars at a remote Patagonian estancia. And the penguins and whales of the Valdes Peninsula inhabit the same landmass as the capybaras and languid alligators of the heady Ibera Wetlands in the north. Whatever it is that draws you most to this incredible nation, your Argentina vacation can be anything you want it to be. And we are on hand to guide you every step of the way.

THE SEASON AHEAD

Spring is just around the corner in Argentina, bringing a rush of colour, fragrance, and energy. I love hiking and spending time outdoors, so I find this one of the most invigorating seasons of the year. In Patagonia and the Argentine Lake District, the hills begin to deepen into richer shades of green, wildflowers appear in the lower meadows, and snow still lingers on the mountaintops. It is a dream for photographers. Best of all, the walking trails are far quieter than they are in the summer months. At this time of year, you can really connect with nature and enjoy those extraordinary views, all with very few people around.

It’s not just in Argentina’s national parks where you can feel the arrival of spring. In Buenos Aires, jacaranda trees burst into bloom and café life spills back out onto the streets and squares. One of my favourite ways to spend time in Buenos Aires is to settle at a pavement café in Palermo with a strong coffee and a fresh medialuna pastry, simply watching the world go by.

By November, Argentina is gathering pace towards summer. Gaucho festivals take place across the Pampas, and long, sunny days have reached the vineyards of Mendoza. December marks start of peak season for visits to Argentina, with the best hotels and lodges around the country filling up quickly. I therefore recommend booking early as possible if you want to travel at this time, so that you get your pick of the very best places to stay.

WHERE AND WHEN

When is the best time to visit Argentina?

Argentina is a year-round destination, with plenty to offer in each season. One of the only factors that may determine your travel is whether you wish to visit southern Patagonia or not. We recommend you avoid visiting southern Patagonia over winter (June to August) as the shorter days, unpredictable weather, and some lodge closures may limit the range of activities you are able to enjoy.

Summer (from November to February) is a glorious time to be in Argentina. Long, sunny days lend themselves to café culture in Buenos Aires, wine tasting under clear blue skies in Mendoza, and endless outdoor adventures.

For a quieter experience (and for more attractive accommodation prices) we recommend you consider visiting Argentina in either spring or autumn. Spring wildflowers and autumn leaves bring a different kind of beauty to Patagonia and the Lake District, and national parks will be considerably quieter. You can enjoy the Iguazu Falls with less humidity in spring, while the autumn season is a very enjoyable time to visit Mendoza due to harvest activities.

Where are the best places to visit in Argentina?

Many Argentina tours begin in Buenos Aires, and this is definitely a place to linger for a couple of days. The city’s elegant, tree-lined boulevards are lined with fabulous boutiques and restaurants, and countless bohemian neighbourhoods also invite exploration from artistic Palermo to vibrant La Boca with its colourful tin houses.

The Iguazu Falls are another unmissable highlight of Argentina. These mighty waterfalls are made up of some 275 individual cascades, and visiting them from both the Argentine and Brazilian sides offers the most panoramic experience. On the Argentine side of the Iguazu Falls you can feel the invigorating spray at the Devil’s Throat viewpoint, and maybe even soar over the falls by helicopter.

Patagonia also features highly on the wish list for any holiday to Argentina. Patagonia’s vast landmass covers both Argentina and Chile, making a tailor-made tour combining both countries a popular choice. In Argentinian Patagonia you can experience the stunning Perito Moreno glacier from up close, marvelling at its vivid shades of blue from a boat trip or glacier hike. Trekking in Los Glaciares national park to take in views of jagged Fitz Roy Massif is another way to appreciate the beauty of Argentinian Patagonia. You could also extend your time in Patagonia to include the Argentinian Lake District. Here you can enjoy gentler hikes, kayaking, rafting, and fly-fishing in a setting of vast shimmering lakes and forest-clad slopes.

Those with longer to spend in Argentina should consider spending time in Salta and the northwest. This is a place of towering red cliffs, sparkling salt flats, and superb wineries around Cafayate. The Ibera Wetlands are also worth considering as part of a longer vacation to Argentina. Serene boat trips and nature safaris take you out in search of wildlife such as capybaras, giant anteaters, and countless species of birds.
