Welcome To Argentina

The incomparable Buenos Aires, Argentina's capital city, is our first destination on this tour and we enjoy a few days of exploring the sights of this dazzling metropolis that would alone warrant a trip to Argentina. Known as "The Paris of South America", Buenos Aires combines European-style architecture, an astounding array and variety of attractions, and a vibrant culture. We tour a multitude of cathedrals and fascinating historic landmarks, before getting closer to nature by visiting wildlife reserves and gazing in awe at the unrivalled natural beauty of glacial peaks en route to the world's southernmost city, Ushuaia. Passing crystal lakes, deep fjords and lush forests, we head for a cruise on the Beagle Channel, named after the ship on which Darwin sailed through in 1832.
