Cultural Argentina
As the granddaughter of a tango singer, I’ve lived Argentine culture. Now it’s your turn to explore its essence: tango, gauchos, asados, wine, vibrant cities, and stunning landscapes.
Get to know Argentina
A sizzling mélange of European and Latin American influences, Buenos Aires is a seriously good-looking city, with sumptuous French and Italian-style architecture, photogenic plazas and parks at every turn. But it’s so much more than just a pretty face. Besides its handsome architecture and fetching public spaces, the Argentinian capital can boast of a rich and complex culture, colorful urban art, a steamy tango scene and some of the finest parrillas (steakhouses) not just in the country, but on the whole continent.
Beyond the capital, Argentina promises natural wonders of the jaw-dropping variety, from the thundering Iguazu Falls to the steadily advancing Glaciar Perito Moreno to the cloud-cloaked peaks of Patagonia. Outside the city boundaries, activities can range from the intrepid (think ice hiking in El Chaltén) to the indulgent (think Malbec-tasting in Mendoza with views of the Andes).

For dinner, sample boundary-breaking food at an establishment featured on the Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants list.

Exploring Buenos Aires & Private Chef Dinner
Spend the day falling for Buenos Aires, as you get to know its parks and local hangouts, independent cafés and lesser-known shops, all the while taste-testing your way through the city’s foodie hotspots. In the afternoon we’ll take you across the city for a private wine tasting & dinner at a private chef’s house. This is one of our signature experiences created for those who seek unique cultural encounters.

Day 3
The Less-Traveled Neighborhoods: Northern Buenos Aires
Today, we’ll break beyond the well-traveled boundaries of Buenos Aires and venture to the not-so-well-known (at least not to outsiders) northern neighborhoods, where cobblestoned streets and street markets await. To get a better sense of everyday local life, we’ll embark on a journey familiar to many porteños, riding the train to the picturesque town of Tigre – a common weekend retreat for city dwellers. There, board a vintage boat for a sail around the epic Rio de la Plata River. Your captain will cook you up a delicious feast on-board. In the early evening, get your feet ready for some Tango moves. Your specialized guide will teach you the basics and get you ready for a night out in a local “milonga”. A milonga is an Argentine Tango social dance, people gather at the local dancehalls (also referred to as Milonga) to dance the night away. There is a certain structure to Milongas and your guide will tell you all about it so you can be prepared to mix in with the locals!
