Argentina It takes two to tango: shall we dance?
Sensual tango music, the thunder of the Iguazu Falls, the creak of glacier ice, the sizzle of a succulent steak, all the sounds of Argentina await. And much more. Come with Cosa and wander the boulevards of Buenos Aires, ride with gauchos in the Pampas, trek in the wilderness. Drink ‘mate’ tea like the locals, or sip a glass of Malbec. Let us take you to incredible mountain ranges, superb wilderness lodges and stylish hotels in colonial cities.

Live like a gaucho
You’ll love staying on an estancia, or farm, in the Pampas. Watch skilled horsemen (or gauchos), help with cattle herding and learn local traditions.
Fly over the falls
Venture north for the gigantic Iguazu Falls in the middle of lush rainforest. Even better, fly over in a helicopter for a bird’s-eye view.
Go to Iguazu Falls with Cosa
A cool river of ice
Stay in a lodge at Los Glaciares National Park in Patagonia so you can experience the extraordinary Perito Moreno Glacier up close.

Argentina facts
In the early 20th century, Argentina was one of the world’s wealthiest countries due to exports of grain and livestock. This wealth can be seen in the elegant avenues and opulent buildings of the capital, Buenos Aires. Argentina was also an important destination for Swiss migration in the 19th and early 20th centuries. A military coup in 1976 overthrew President Isabel Peron but Argentina is now a democracy again. Aconcagua, at 6961m, is the highest mountain in the Americas.
