Argentina Local Travel Specialists

No single itinerary fits a country this size, which is why, for over 15 years, we've built private, tailor-made Argentina tours—designed entirely around the regions, pace, and interests that matter most to you.

Each region below is covered by local guides and travel partners who know it firsthand, from the ice fields of El Calafate to the vineyards of Mendoza and the wildlife of Península Valdés. Explore them individually, or let us connect several into one seamless custom Argentina itinerary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cost is driven by the regions you combine, trip length, and boutique accommodation tier you choose — not by a fixed package price. A focused Patagonia itinerary has a different cost structure than a multi-region trip combining El Calafate, Buenos Aires, and Mendoza, which involves additional regional flights and more accommodation nights. The investment goes toward private logistics, dedicated local guides, and expert routing rather than a pre-built package with a margin built in.

10 days works well for a focused private Argentina itinerary centered on one or two regions — Patagonia alone, or Buenos Aires combined with Mendoza. Combining three or more regions (Patagonia + Buenos Aires + Iguazú, for example) is more rewarding with 12 to 15 days, which allows each destination to breathe rather than functioning as a rushed stop between flights.

The most requested private Argentina itinerary for international travelers combines Buenos Aires (3 days), Patagonia — El Calafate and El Chaltén (4 to 5 days), and either Mendoza or Iguazú Falls (2 to 3 days), connected through domestic flights. The exact sequence depends on seasonal timing, since Patagonia's best conditions run October through April and influence how the routing is structured.

Yes — combining Torres del Paine and El Calafate is one of the most requested cross-border additions to a private Argentina itinerary, and one of the strongest arguments for booking through a single operator with expertise on both sides of the border. We manage the ground logistics, border crossing, and accommodation on the Chilean side as part of the same itinerary, so adding Chile doesn't add planning complexity for you.

Argentina's regions peak at different times, so the answer depends on which combination you're planning. Patagonia is best October through April; Mendoza wine harvest runs March and April; Península Valdés whale watching peaks September through November; Iguazú Falls is most impressive after the rainy season (March through May). A private multi-region Argentina itinerary is sequenced around the seasonal window that best aligns your destinations — which is one of the main reasons expert routing matters more than booking each region independently.

Yes — most private Argentina itineraries blend more than one interest. A typical combination pairs hiking in Patagonia (El Chaltén, Fitz Roy), wildlife watching at Península Valdés (Southern right whales, penguins, orcas), and Mendoza wine touring in the Uco Valley, connected through domestic flights into one coherent multi-region route rather than three separate trips.

Each region has its own dedicated local guide and private vehicle, coordinated in advance as part of your itinerary. When you move between regions by domestic flight, transfers on both ends are pre-arranged so there are no gaps between arrival and your next activity. A single local contact manages the full chain — from Buenos Aires to Patagonia to Mendoza — so you're never coordinating logistics yourself from the road.

For itineraries that include Patagonia during peak season (December through February), booking 4 to 6 months ahead is recommended to secure boutique lodges in El Calafate and El Chaltén, which fill quickly. Itineraries focused on Buenos Aires, Mendoza, or the Northwest have more flexibility and can often be arranged on shorter notice. If your trip combines Patagonia with Torres del Paine, advance booking is even more critical given limited lodge capacity on the Chilean side.

Best Thing to Do In Argentina

Argentina covers more geographic range than most continents — the experiences below reflect the full width of what a private Argentina tour can include, from the subtropical northeast to the southern ice fields.

.

  • Visit Iguazú Falls — Argentine and Brazilian Sides — The Argentine side delivers close-up walkways and the Devil's Throat platform; the Brazilian side delivers the full panoramic view of all 275 falls simultaneously. A private Iguazú Falls tour covers both sides on consecutive days with a dedicated guide timed around the quietest hours.

  • Ride the Train to the Clouds from Salta — The Tren a las Nubes climbs to 4,220 meters through the Quebrada del Toro gorge and across the La Polvorilla viaduct — one of the highest railway routes in the world. Combined with the Hill of Seven Colors at Purmamarca and the Salinas Grandes salt flat, it forms the core of a private Salta northwest Argentina tour.

  • Walk on the Perito Moreno Glacier — The Big Ice Trek puts you on the surface of one of Patagonia's few advancing glaciers — blue crevasses, meltwater channels, and an ice face that advances 1 to 2 meters per day. The walkways deliver the visual; the private Perito Moreno glacier ice trek delivers the physical experience.

  • Trek to Laguna de los Tres in El Chaltén — The 22 km trail to the glacial lagoon below Fitz Roy's north face starts at the village edge with no park fee and no permit required. El Chaltén Fitz Roy private trekking is the most requested activity in Argentine Patagonia for travelers with strong hiking fitness.

  • Taste Malbec at Altitude in Mendoza — The Uco Valley's bodegas operate at 1,000 to 1,200 meters — high enough to produce a Malbec with complexity that the lower-altitude Luján de Cuyo estates handle differently. A private Mendoza Malbec winery tour covers both zones with a guide who knows the current state of each bodega's program.

  • Navigate Lago Nahuel Huapi to the Arrayanes Forest — The private boat from Puerto Pañuelo crosses Lago Nahuel Huapi to Isla Victoria and continues to Parque Los Arrayanes — the world's only dense arrayán forest, accessible only by water. The Bariloche Nahuel Huapi private boat excursion is the most distinctive experience in the Lake District.

  • Watch Whales from a Private Boat at Península Valdés — Southern right whales return to Golfo Nuevo from June through December, approaching the boats voluntarily in the protected bay. The same circuit covers elephant seals at Caleta Valdés and the Punta Tombo penguin colony — making private Península Valdés whale watching the Atlantic coast's most complete wildlife day.

  • Experience Tango in Buenos Aires Beyond the Tourist Show — A private lesson with a professional instructor in the afternoon, followed by an evening at a traditional milonga with live orchestra and porteno dancers rather than a dinner show. The Buenos Aires tango private experience is the difference between watching and understanding the dance.

  • Navigate the Beagle Channel from Ushuaia — Sea lion colonies at Lobos and Pájaros Islands, cormorant rookeries, and the Les Éclaireurs lighthouse from a private boat. The private Ushuaia Beagle Channel tour closes most Argentina circuits at the world's southernmost navigable channel.

Southwind from the planning stages to delivery of the trip in Patagonia were faultless and I really love the little reminders sent for each separate stage and really appreciated the added bits around passport checking and border crossing paperwork. The whole team was super friendly, and for our trip with Fernando he was great company and knew where to stop for refreshments and a view! We would strongly recommend southwind, they go the extra mile on service and have a permanent smile. Thank you guys you were faultless.

I had a great experience with Southwind. They organized a tour for us to visit Monte Leon from El Calafate. Fernando & Laura organized the logistics and were very helpful. Martin accompanied us on the tour and doubled up as driver and tour guide, which was beyond our expectations. We saw a lot of wildlife en route, as well as in the park with Martin’s help. I highly recommend Southwind for your Patagonia experience.

Maria and her team looked after us so well. I would recommend them in a flash. It was 20 years since I had been to El Calafate so I didn't know what to expect. It had changed so much! Maria was helpful, honest, well priced and a pleasure to work with. You could not ask for more. We had the best time thanks to Maria and her organisation. Fernando was our driver to a tour and a delight. Punctual, knowledgeable and all round wonderful. Gracias!!

Best Places to Visit in Argentina

The entry point for most private Argentina tours and a destination in its own right. San Telmo's colonial architecture and antique market, Recoleta's French quarter and cemetery, La Boca's murals, and Palermo's restaurant scene give Buenos Aires three days of material before the domestic flights begin. The city's tango milongas — where portenos dance on weekday nights for themselves, not for tourists — are the most genuinely Buenos Aires evening available.

Iguazú Falls is the most immediately overwhelming natural experience in the Argentine catalog — 275 waterfalls across 2.7 km of the Brazil border, reaching 82 meters at the Devil's Throat. The Argentine side covers the close-up walkway circuits; the Brazilian side covers the panoramic view. The Iberá Wetlands, reachable from the same northeastern circuit, add jaguar rewilding, caiman, marsh deer, and the stillness of a flooded grassland ecosystem — a completely different character from the falls.

The Argentine northwest is the most culturally distinct region in the country — pre-Columbian heritage, Andean traditions, and a landscape palette that ranges from the green valleys of Jujuy to the red canyon walls of the Quebrada de las Conchas and the white crystalline surface of the Salinas Grandes at 3,450 meters. The private Salta northwest Argentina tour also covers Cafayate's high-altitude Torrontés wine valley — an experience with no equivalent elsewhere in the country.

Mendoza's wine country divides into two geographically and stylistically distinct zones: Luján de Cuyo at 800 to 1,000 meters for the classic Malbec estates, and the Uco Valley at 1,000 to 1,200 meters for high-altitude complexity and Aconcagua Provincial Park hiking. A private Mendoza wine tour Argentina typically covers both zones across two to three days, with boutique vineyard lodge accommodation as an alternative to the city hotel circuit.

Northern Patagonia's landscape is lake-centered and forested — the Andean character before the steppe begins. Lago Nahuel Huapi by private boat to Isla Victoria and the Arrayanes Forest, the Circuito Chico drive through Llao Llao and Punto Panorámico, and the Seven Lakes Route north toward Villa La Angostura cover the private Bariloche Lake District Argentina chapter in three days. A different visual and experiential register from southern Patagonia — and a natural addition to any circuit that begins in Buenos Aires or Mendoza.

The Atlantic wildlife chapter of an Argentina private tour — five species in a single protected peninsula: Southern right whales (June to December), elephant seals at Caleta Valdés year-round, Magellanic penguins at Punta Tombo (September to March), sea lions at Punta Norte, and the resident orca population that stages intentional strandings on the beach in March and April. Three days covers the peninsula circuit and the separate Punta Tombo excursion properly.

Los Glaciares National Park's southern sector divides between two genuinely different experiences: El Calafate for the Perito Moreno Glacier walkways, Lago Argentino navigation, and the Big Ice Trek on the glacier surface, and El Chaltén 218 km north for the Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre trail access — all beginning at the village edge with no park fee. Most private El Calafate El Chaltén Argentina tours allocate two days to each; the two experiences are complementary rather than overlapping.

The southern close of most Argentina circuits — the world's southernmost city at the convergence of the Andes and the Beagle Channel. A private Beagle Channel navigation, Tierra del Fuego National Park's coastal trail system, and Estancia Harberton's Isla Martillo penguin colony by Zodiac cover the standard two-day private Ushuaia Tierra del Fuego tour. A third day opens Laguna Esmeralda and the Vinciguerra Glacier approach for travelers who want the city's best trails beyond the national park.
