From the cosmopolitan energy of Buenos Aires to the celebrated vineyards of Mendoza and remote villages in the canyons of the northwest, embrace Argentina's vibrant cultural soul. Watch an intimate tango performance, join gauchos for a traditional asado and folkloric music on a classic estancia, explore colonial cities and untouristed rural towns, and connect with local artisans and Indigenous communities. Travel north to Purmamarca and the foothills of the Andes, where the Hill of Seven Colors rises in vivid bands of layered rock. Food and wine are central to Argentina's culture, and our experience is replete with them: Share a mug of mate, enjoy a hands-on cooking experience with local ingredients, and visit family-run wineries to taste the Malbecs for which the country is fanous. Throughout, Argentina's richly layered heritage is revealed through its diverse people, dynamic traditions and dramatic landscapes.
