Know when to go.
- Visa & entry: Many nationalities, including UK, US, EU, Canadian and Australian passport holders, do not need a visa for tourism and receive up to 90 days on arrival; a passport valid for at least six months is required. We confirm details for your nationality
- Currency: The currency is the Argentine Peso, whose value fluctuates; US Dollars in cash can be useful and cards are widely accepted in cities. We brief you on the current money situation, as exchange rules and rates change frequently
- Vast distances: Argentina is the world's eighth-largest country, so itineraries rely on domestic flights between regions such as Buenos Aires, Iguazu, Patagonia and the northwest; these are arranged and included where specified
- Seasons reversed: Argentina is in the southern hemisphere, so summer (December to February) is warm, ideal for Patagonia and the Lake District, while winter (June to August) suits the northwest, the wine country and city breaks
- Patagonia weather: Patagonia is famously windy and changeable even in summer, so pack warm, waterproof layers, a hat and sturdy footwear; the best season for trekking and glaciers is roughly October to April
- Altitude: The northwest around Salta and the high Andes reach significant altitude, so allow time to acclimatise, stay hydrated and take it easy on arrival at height
- Getting around & tipping: Cities are walkable with taxis and rideshares; tipping around ten percent is customary in restaurants and appreciated by guides and drivers. Spanish is the language, though English is common in tourism
- Health & power: No vaccinations are required for most travellers, though we recommend checking current advice for the subtropical north; drink bottled water outside cities. Power is 220V with type C and I plugs, so bring an adapter
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you arrange honeymoon touches?
Yes — we love adding romance, from a decorated room and sparkling wine to private dinners, vineyard spa days and upgrades. Tell us what would make it special and we will arrange it.
Can we upgrade to luxury lodges?
Absolutely. We can pair this with Argentina's finest boutique and luxury properties, from design vineyard lodges in Mendoza to celebrated Patagonian retreats, for an extra-special honeymoon.
What meals are included?
Daily breakfast is included throughout, along with any meals named in the itinerary such as a welcome dinner, a wine-country lunch or an asado barbecue. Argentina's food, especially its beef and wine, is a highlight, so most other meals are left free with our recommendations.
Are domestic flights included?
Yes — the domestic flights between regions specified in your itinerary, such as Buenos Aires to Iguazu or Patagonia, are arranged and included, along with all airport and hotel transfers, so your journey is seamless.
Do I need a visa for Argentina?
Most nationalities do not need a visa for tourism and receive up to 90 days on arrival with a passport valid for at least six months. We confirm the requirement for your nationality when you book.
When is the best time to visit Argentina?
It depends on the regions, summer (December to February) is best for Patagonia and the Lake District, while the northwest, wine country and Buenos Aires are lovely in spring and autumn. We advise on the best timing for your route.
How much travelling is involved?
Argentina is vast, so itineraries use domestic flights for the long hops between Buenos Aires, Iguazu, Patagonia and the northwest, with touring by comfortable vehicle within each region. Everything is arranged and built in.
Can the itinerary be customised?
Absolutely. We can adjust the balance of city, wine, falls and Patagonia, add regions like the northwest or the Lake District, change the pace and tailor hotels to your interests and budget.
