Northern Argentina Holiday

Discover the Best of Northern Argentina

Our Northern Argentina itinerary is the perfect way to discover some of Argentina’s most dramatic sights and scenery in a 11-day holiday.

You will start in the tango-filled streets of Buenos Aires before heading the see the almighty Iguazu Falls. After this, you will head to one of our favourite areas of Argentina, Salta & the Northwest. The Andes Mountains create some superb and dramatic scenery in this area but unlike Patagonia, you will see almost desert-like scenery here with cactuses and the odd huge saltwater lagoon for good measure. It is almost like a scene from another planet.

Highlights

• Discover the sights of Buenos Aires - the home of the tango
• Visit the almighty Iguazu Falls
