Argentina's Heartlands 16-day Itinerary
Day 1 UK - Buenos Aires
Today you will depart the UK on your overnight flight to Buenos Aires.


Days 2-3 The Pampas
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.


Days 4-6 Mendoza
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.
Speak to your consultant about our wine tasting tour options.


Days 7-9 Córdoba
Today you’ll fly to Córdoba, your next Heartlands destination in the Central Sierras. The city boasts some of the finest colonial architecture including the carefully preserved Jesuit Block & Estancias of Córdoba in the centre of town. The next three nights will be spent at Estancia Los Potreros, where family and friendship blend with culture and tradition to deliver a memorable and heart-warming countryside experience to treasure.


Days 10-12 Iberá Wetlands
Leave the dramatic landscapes of the Central Sierras behind and fly north, home to one of the largest freshwater reservoirs on the continent. The Iberá Wetlands is the largest protected area in Argentina, with 1.3 million hectares of pristine wilderness and home to 30% of Argentina’s biodiversity. You’ll stay in the luxury Puerto Valle Hotel de Esteros, a traditional corrientes estancia built in 1868. With a host of excellent excursions included, you’ll experience the intricacies and balance of the wetlands and its prolific wildlife, including the capybara, black caiman, maned wolf, monkeys and more. There is also outstanding birdwatching here so get those binoculars ready!


Days 13-16 Buenos Aires - UK
For your final two nights, the enigmatic and characterful city of Buenos Aires plays host. One of South America’s best loved cities, it’s home to over 50 museums, stunning architecture, lively nightlife, atmospheric markets and so much more. Stay at Legado Mitico, a boutique hotel bursting with Argentine history and culture, artfully curated to reflect the heart of Argentina.
Spend a night at a Tango show to soak up the passion and spectacle of the country’s best loved dance. The gastronomic scene is world-class and not to be missed so we’ve lined up our favourite Argentine restaurant to host your last night in style!
You will then head to Buenos Aires Airport for your onward flight.
