Book your experienceTen days, shaped entirely around you
Buenos Aires in depth
Tango shows, San Telmo antiques and the colorful streets of La Boca set the tone for a city built on culture, cuisine and late nights.
Granite spires and glacier ice
From the trail to Laguna de los Tres beneath Mount Fitz Roy to crampons on the blue crevasses of Perito Moreno, this is Patagonia at its most elemental.
Mendoza in the glass
The journey closes among the vines, blending a Malbec of your own at a working winery and cycling between boutique estates in the Uco Valley.
Ten days from Patagonia to the vines
Arrival in Buenos Aires
Touch down in the self proclaimed Paris of South America, a city humming with soulful energy, culinary ambition and a nonstop cultural calendar. Your private driver meets you at the airport and delivers you straight to your hotel in the heart of Recoleta, where cafes, leather boutiques and grand old plazas invite an easy first afternoon. As evening falls, settle in at a legendary parrilla for the kind of steak and Malbec pairing this city was built on.
Tango, Antiques and La Boca
Spend a full day threading through the city's most characterful neighborhoods. Wander San Telmo's cobblestone antiques market, watch impromptu tango unfold on the colorful streets of La Boca, and if you wish, we will arrange a private polo lesson, a day at an estancia, or tickets to a match at the legendary Bombonera stadium. As night falls, enjoy dinner at one of the city's finest tables before a private tango show.
Onward to El Chaltén
A short flight carries you south to El Calafate, gateway to the Andes, followed by a scenic private transfer into the trekking capital of Argentina, El Chaltén. This is a mountain town built entirely for the outdoors, ringed by breweries and independent restaurants. Settle in and rest, tomorrow begins a full day on the trail.
Laguna de los Tres and Mount Fitz Roy
Today is the journey's signature trek, a full day climb to Laguna de los Tres for one of Patagonia's most iconic views: the jagged granite spires of Mount Fitz Roy rising straight from the glacier below. We recommend an early start with plenty of water and snacks. In the evening, unwind with hearty food and a cold beer at a casual local spot.
Into the Wilderness at EOLO
Leave El Chaltén behind and travel deep into the Patagonian steppe, where a traditional estancia has been reimagined with quiet modern elegance. Every meal, cocktail and moment of your stay is included, set against sweeping views and total seclusion.
Ice Trekking on Perito Moreno
Choose your adventure today: strap on crampons for a hike across the astonishing blue crevasses of Perito Moreno Glacier, or opt for horseback riding, kayaking, a catamaran cruise or birdwatching instead. Rising 230 feet above Lago Argentino, the glacier is a spectacular sight from the water and even more remarkable underfoot.
North to the Vines of Mendoza
Trade the ice for the vines. A private transfer delivers you to El Calafate airport for the flight north to Mendoza, where a driver is waiting to bring you into Argentina's wine capital. Check in to the elegant Diplomatic Hotel on one of the city's handsome avenues, then settle in for the evening. With the Andes framed beyond the rooftops, this first night is simply about arriving well and easing into the pace of the days ahead.
Into the Vines
Begin downtown with the leafy calm of Parque San Martín before trading the city for the countryside. This afternoon you roll up your sleeves for a hands on winemaking session, blending and bottling a wine that is entirely your own alongside the resident enologists. As the light softens you settle into your vineyard guest house, glass of Malbec in hand, the fire lit and the vines stretching to the mountains.
Flavors of the Uco Valley
Head south into the celebrated Uco Valley, a sweep of vineyards framed by snow dusted peaks. Today is built around a Wine and Ride: cycle gently between boutique wineries, pausing for guided tastings and a long, multi course lunch matched to the region's finest pours. Prefer the saddle to the bicycle? A ride through the vines on horseback is yours for the asking.
Farewell from Mendoza
A slower final morning, entirely at your rhythm. There is time for a walk through the groves at LAUR Olivícola and a tasting of oils, regional cheeses and warm breads with a glass of local wine, or simply a last unhurried breakfast among the vines, before your private transfer to Mendoza airport for your onward flight, whether home or on to your next adventure.
Five stays, city to steppe to vineyard
Your journey begins in a stylish boutique hotel in the heart of Buenos Aires, ideally placed for wandering Recoleta and San Telmo before your first evening of tango and steak.
In the trekking capital of Argentina, Los Cerros del Chaltén blends mountain town character with genuine comfort, the ideal base for your day on the Fitz Roy trail.
Deep in the Patagonian steppe, EOLO pairs the spirit of a traditional estancia with quiet modern elegance, every meal and drink included as the wilderness stretches out in every direction.
In Mendoza your first night is spent at the Diplomatic Hotel, a polished retreat on one of the city's most elegant avenues, with Andes views and the best cafes and boutiques a short stroll away.
For your final two nights you move into the Durigutti Family Winemakers Guest House, a working vineyard estate where days end around the fire with a glass of Malbec and dinner drawn from the seasons.
