This tour is an excellent introduction to the highlights of Argentina and Chile, including the fascinating capital cities and the dramatic natural scenery of Iguazu Falls and Patagonia.

Begin in vibrant Buenos Aires, Argentina. With your private guide and driver, visit the city’s most evocative neighborhoods such as San Telmo, La Boca, Palermo and Puerto Madero, and see highlights around the city such as the Plaza de Mayo, Casa Rosada and Recoleta Cemetery. Visit local museums according to your interests, such as the Evita Museum or the MALBA museum of Latin American art. One evening, attend a top-rated tango performance at an intimate, upscale dinner theater. Also enjoy time to take advantage of the exciting contemporary art and design scene, world-class restaurants and great shopping. One day, take a private excursion to an estancia (ranch) in the pampas to learn about gaucho culture and experience the traditional estancia lifestyle. Alternatively, take a private excursion to Tigre and the Parana River Delta to enjoy a relaxing private cruise on the canals, passing gardens and vacation houses.

Continue to Iguazu Falls, one of the most spectacular natural attractions in the world. Stay in a private villa at Awasi, an exclusive luxury lodge in the rainforest on the Argentine side of the falls. With your private guide, venture onto catwalks to see the most breathtaking sections of the waterfall, such as the thundering Garganta del Diablo ("Devil's Throat"). Also venture to the Brazilian side for a private boat excursion to the base of the falls. Depending on timing and interests, relax in your private plunge pool at Awasi or enjoy additional lodge-based activities such as kayaking on the river, hiking and birding in the rainforest, seeing the UNESCO-listed ruins of Jesuit missions or visiting a local indigenous community. Alternatively, stay at Belmond Hotel das Cataratas, a grand historic hotel surrounded by jungle and wildlife that's a short walk from the Brazilian side of Iguazu Falls.

Return to Buenos Aires for a night and enjoy flexible touring and shopping with your private guide and driver. Then, fly to El Calafate to experience southern Patagonia's vast open steppe and the impressive peaks, glaciers and pale blue lakes of Los Glaciares National Park. One day, visit magnificent Perito Moreno Glacier—one of the few advancing glaciers in the world—to see (and hear) icebergs calving from it, and perhaps opt to take a guided hike on top of the glacier itself. If desired, also enjoy exciting lodge-based activities, such as hiking, mountain biking, birdwatching and horseback riding.

Transfer overland to Torres del Paine National Park, Chile. One of the most spectacular landscapes in South America, the park is a wonderland of spiky mountains, blue glaciers, sapphire lakes and dense forests. Choose daily excursions according to your interests, such as scenic walks and hikes, wildlife viewing, bird watching, photography safaris, kayaking and boat rides on glacial lakes, visiting a typical estancia, barbecue lunches, mountain biking and horseback riding.

Conclude in Santiago, a historic city with unforgettable views of the Andes mountains. While touring with your own private guide, gain an insider's perspective on Santiago highlights such as the Plaza de Armas, Mercado Central, La Chascona (Pablo Neruda's house), the Chilean Museum of Pre-Columbian Art, beautiful colonial architecture, exclusive shops and historic neighborhoods.

All touring is flexible and customized to your interests, and accommodation is in top rooms at Argentina and Chile’s leading luxury hotels and lodges.
