Argentina's
economic unrest long since calmed, the time is right to
visit Argentina while your money goes farther than ever
and the hordes of tourists stay away due to exaggerated
news reports. Over 350 glaciers and mountains covered in
ice provide a spectacular backdrop for trekking in El Chalten. Strap on crampons and hike on 15 mile long,
15,000 year old Perito Moreno Glacier in El Calafate (surprisingly
easy even for the timid!). There are a wide variety of activities
in the beautiful Lakes
District for active and leisure travelers alike.
Buenos Aires is a very European city overflowing with culture,
and Tierra
del Fuego is the undiscovered jewel of South
America that tourism has not yet altered. Get there while
its still unknown.

Iguazu
Falls:
Located on the border of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay
is one of nature's grand spectacles, Iguazu Falls. Over
275 separate waterfalls plummet over 200 feet for over two
and a half miles. Wear a raincoat and hat for protection
from the constant mist that forms an arched rainbow. Catwalks
and lookouts offer a close look at the thundering falls
or look down into Devil's Throat from an airplane overflight.
For the daring, take a boat ride close to the falls and
make sure to bring plenty of film as photographic opportunities
abound.
Lakes
District:
Charming in a European fashion, all the creature comforts
are here among the hilly avenues and quaint buildings. Chocolate-making
is a tradition in the town of Bariloche, and almost no visitor
leaves without a sample. The charming Edelweiss Hotel or
the famous Hotel Llao-Llao will graciously
accommodate your desires. For one of the best day trips
in all of South America, arrive or depart to Chile here
by a series of Lake Crossings.
Patagonia:
Los Glaciares National Park is your destination for hiking
in Patagonia and the best viewing of wildlife, birds and
glaciers in Patagonia. We'll accommodate you at the very
comfortable Los
Notros or Kau Yatun as your base for guided excursions
of surrounding tundra, mountains, and glaciers. For the
more adventurous, our Patagonia trekking is not to be missed. Explore the interior of a glacier,
get an up-close view of the towering ice walls, or travel
to the Fitzroy area as a trekking base to the famous towering
pinnacles of Cerro Terro and Fitzroy. Birdwatchers look
out for the Andean condor, Magellanic woodpecker, red backed
hawk Austral parakeets, and the rare choique or lesser rhea
just to name a few.
Tierra
del Fuego:
Capital of Tierra del Fuego, the path to the White Continent,
Ushuaia is the southernmost city in the world. Cruise with a naturalist guide on the Beagle Channel, including
Seals Island where you may witness petrels, cormorants and
sea lions at close quarters. Marvel at the impressive scenery
of snowcapped peaks, rivers, waterfalls and dense woods
in Tierra del Fuego National Park. Keep your eyes out for
a variety of wildlife, including the Andean condor. Ushuaia
serves as our embankment point for cruises to Antarctica.
We
can also arrange tours to Salta, Northwest of Argentina,
the Marshlands and rolling plains for Estancia stays. Contact
