Today you will depart the UK on your overnight flight to Buenos Aires.

On arrival you'll be met by our representative and travel to the heart of the pampas, just 2 hours outside the city. You’ll stay at the truly unique La Bamba de Areco, a Relais & Chateaux property with endless character and charm. Proudly showcasing authentic gaucho traditions, you’ll experience asados, mate tasting, folk dances and music, Indian horse-whispering and showcase of equestrian skills.

Soak in the truly Argentine flavour as you enjoy the activities available at La Bamba de Areco. Discover the area on horseback or carriage ride, watch the International Polo team as they practice (during season), or head into San Antonio de Areco to explore this eighteenth century colonial town. Discover the Ricardo Guiraldes Gaucho Museum, watch the master silversmiths at work and admire the leather craftsmen practice these precious Argentine traditional craft skills.

Bid farewell to the gauchos and depart for your short flight to Mendoza in the heart of the winelands. The city itself is an attractive hub with tree-lined avenues bursting with historic heritage and pretty parks, however the true beauty of Mendoza lies outside the city. Here, the lush green vineyards sweep across the Andean Landscape, providing breathtaking views and endless opportunities to sample the delights of the region. Arrive at Entre Cielos, a modern, sophisticated and peaceful vineyard resort.
