Itinerary

Day 1
Buenos Aires, Argentina

Hotel: Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires
Meals: None

Welcome to Buenos Aires!

Elegant, old-worldly, with a touch of Paris here and a touch of London there, a dash of New York cosmopolitanism and big splash of Italian exuberance, the city also has a strong Latin America personality as well as uniquely Argentine elements such as tango bars. Here, everything is grand, on a scale fit for kings: Tourists photograph vast steaks at restaurants, Nueve de Julio avenue ranks as the world's widest, a cemetery so fancy that it occupies one of the poshest parts of the poshest neighborhood, while the entire city fronts onto the world's widest river. Buenos Aires never fails to impress.

Familiarize yourself with some of the most recognizable landmarks in the northern area of Buenos Aires. Visit Recoleta neighborhood, home to many a mansion, which takes you back to Argentina’s grander days, the Recoleta Cemetery, renowned for its rich architecture and sculptures that makes it more of an open air museum than a place of rest. Continue to Palermo, a district with several faces such as classic Palermo Chico and contemporary Palermo Hollywood and Soho. Head towards Palermo Chico with its impressive townhouses, tree-lined boulevards and parks, then continue to Bosques de Palermo woods for the Japanese Garden and Rose Garden and their wonderful sculptures and lakes as well as the race track and polo grounds. Palermo Soho, meanwhile, fuses the flavor of a working-class neighborhood with contemporary twists such as ethnic restaurants, design stores and bars. Its bohemian atmosphere makes it popular with Argentines as well as foreign visitors.

Day 2

Pedaling around Buenos Aires is an excellent way to see the city. This three-hour excursion, escorted by a group leader, will take you through key areas of Argentina’s flat capital.

Day 3
Buenos Aires, Argentina

Hotel: Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires
Meals: Breakfast

Enjoy a Tango lesson

The origins of the Tango are traced back to 1880 and its birthplace the slums, inhabited by Italian and Spanish immigrants, Africans and “gauchos”. From this racial mix appeared the “compadritos” (small-time hoods) who tried to reflect in their music, their letters and their dance, the typical “cuchilleros” (knife fighters) duel characteristic of their social ambient. Despite its humble origins, in the 20s tango left the brothels and the underworld districts to reach the high-class ballrooms, but to do so it had to travel to Paris to come back triumphant. Forget the mannered ballroom dancing image, tango is real roots music: sometimes sleazy, sometimes elegant, but always sensuous, rhythmic and passionate.

Elephant seals Colony:

The beaches at the foot of the cliffs, which go from the pedral until Punta Ninfas, have been chosen by elephant seals as their home. The colony reaches its highest peak of population between September and March. During September, males start arriving, marking their territory and forming their harem.

Penguin Rockery visit (September to March):

Every year in September, a growing colony of friendly Magellanic penguins settles in El Pedral. A guide tour among its nests will enable you to know much more about these curious animals. El Pedral keeps a control and cleaning program along its coasts, together with collaborating with the foundation GPS, Global Penguin Society, which monitors the Magellanic penguins’ colony of Punta Ninfas.

Beach programme:

The beach of El Pedral is a dream place to enjoy the Patagonian sea with your family or friends. The pebble shore [pedral] is a unique geological formation in Patagonia, made up by a beach of pebbles of about 9,000 metres long, 900 metres wide and 8 metres in depth. Depending on the time of the year, you will be able to watch from the beach the wonderful show offered by southern right whales, which get close to the seaside due to the profound depth of those waters.

Their influence is easily found in the local culture and, of course, in the mountain-style architecture.

Bariloche is one of Argentina’s most exciting resorts, it offers mountain resort activities and every season is distinctively charming. Summer is best for outdoor activities and sports such as trout fishing, horseback riding, rafting, trekking and hiking.
