2-Week Argentina Tour Packages
What if you had two weeks to explore Argentina's remarkable diversity? Buenos Aires for tango and steak culture, Mendoza's wine region sitting beneath the Andes, Patagonia's glaciers and mountains, possibly Iguazú Falls with its thundering water. The country's huge, so two weeks means choosing regions carefully or accepting you'll move around a lot. Either way, Argentina delivers every time.

14 Days in Argentina, incl. Buenos Aires and Patagonia
The 14-day route covers 6 destinations: 3 days in Buenos Aires, 2 at Iguazu Falls, 2 in Mendoza's wine region, 3 in Bariloche's Lake District, and 3 at El Calafate's Perito Moreno glacier. Includes 13 nights' accommodation and daily breakfasts for around $2,300.
- Days 1-3
Buenos Aires:
Give yourself time to adjust to the local schedule in the capital. Visit Plaza de Mayo early on day 2 before crowds gather. The iconic pink Casa Rosada opens at 10 AM. San Telmo's antique market is best on Sunday mornings but watch your belongings as pickpockets are common. Skip the tourist tango shows and experience the real thing at a local milonga in Almagro neighborhood after 11 PM.
- Days 4-5
Iguazu Falls:
Take a 2-hour morning flight to Puerto Iguazu. Start with the Brazilian side for the best wide-angle views but get your visa beforehand. On the Argentine side, catch the first 8 AM train to Devil's Throat to avoid the crowds. Bring a waterproof bag for your camera since the mist reaches everywhere on the upper walkways.
- Days 6-7
Mendoza:
Stay in Chacras de Coria, a quiet suburb 20 minutes from Mendoza city with good winery access. Book your winery visits early. Popular spots like Catena Zapata need advance reservations. Plan tastings between 10 AM and 2 PM to avoid peak afternoon heat. Biking through the Maipu wine region is fun but stick to marked wine routes for safety.
- Days 8-10
Bariloche:
A 2-hour flight brings you to the Lake District. Take the Cerro Campanario chair lift first thing for the best morning photos of the lakes. The Circuito Chico offers a perfect mix of lake views and forest walks. For authentic local chocolate, skip the tourist shops and visit Mamuschka instead.
- Days 11-13
El Calafate & Perito Moreno:
Fly 3 hours south to Patagonia. Pack layers for Perito Moreno Glacier since temperatures change quickly. Book the glacier mini-trek at least a month ahead. A recent visitor shared: "The sound of the glacier calving is incredible - like thunder. Stay on the walkways until at least 4 PM to increase your chances of seeing it."
- Day 14
Departure:
Choose afternoon flights from El Calafate to avoid morning fog delays. The small airport gets busy with tour groups so arrive 2 hours before international flights.
Discover Patagonia
This 14-day trip takes you through Argentina from Buenos Aires to Patagonia's famous landscapes, including Los Glaciares National Park and Torres del Paine. Trek to Laguna de los Tres for views of Mount Fitz Roy's granite peaks, hike to the Cagliero Glacier in Los Huemules Natural Reserve, and watch the thunderous calving of Perito Moreno Glacier. You'll finish in Ushuaia, the world's southernmost city, with walks through Tierra del Fuego National Park to Lapataia Bay.
14 Day Patagonia Itinerary, incl. Buenos Aires and Torres del Paine
An extended 14-day Argentina adventure spans 11 cities, from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia. Visit 3 national parks, including Torres del Paine and Los Glaciares, with activities ranging from glacier walks to wildlife spotting. Includes 13 nights in hotels and internal flights.
- Days 1-2
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Spend your first morning exploring the vibrant La Boca neighborhood and historic San Telmo district. "Taking a traditional coffee break at a local cafecito while watching tango dancers in the streets of La Boca was the perfect introduction to Buenos Aires culture." Plan for a tango show on your second evening around 8:30 PM which includes dinner.
- Days 3-4
Ushuaia & Tierra del Fuego
Take a morning flight to the world's southernmost city to make the most of your time. Book a Beagle Channel boat trip to see penguins at least 3 months ahead since spots fill quickly. Spend the next day in Tierra del Fuego National Park doing three moderate hikes that total about 4km. "Flying into Ushuaia was overwhelming - it truly feels like the end of the world."
- Day 5
Crossing to Chile
You'll spend most of this day traveling across the Magellan Strait by ferry into Chile. The water can be rough so bring motion sickness medication if needed. You'll reach Punta Arenas by evening. Important: You can't bring fruits or nuts across the border.
- Days 6-8
Torres del Paine National Park
This is Chilean Patagonia at its finest. Take the 5-hour morning bus from Punta Arenas to Torres del Paine. The 8km Lake Sarmiento circuit is perfect for wildlife viewing without much climbing. More advanced hikers should book the Torres Base hike (22km round trip) ahead of time. "Be prepared for extreme wind - bring layers and good hiking boots with ankle support."
- Days 9-10
El Calafate & Perito Moreno Glacier
Head back to Argentina to see the impressive Perito Moreno Glacier. If you want to do the ice trek (age limit 65), book it early. "The thundering sounds of ice calving off the glacier face were unforgettable. Book the early morning boat trip for the best light and fewer crowds."
- Days 11-12
El Chalten & Mount Fitz Roy
It's a 3-hour drive to El Chalten, Argentina's hiking paradise. The Fitz Roy Base Camp hike is challenging with 26km round trip and 950m elevation gain. Start early at 7 AM to have enough daylight. You can find shorter trails from town if you prefer.
- Days 13-14
Return to Buenos Aires
Fly back to Buenos Aires for your final explorations. Visit Recoleta Cemetery in the afternoon for the best photo lighting. Book a restaurant in trendy Palermo for your last dinner since popular spots fill up quickly.

- End of the Earth
This tour was amazing. Hiking through the Andes in Patagonia was challenging but worth every step once you see the towering mountains and the countless glaciers. When not hiking, visiting the towns and experiencing the people and the culture was exciting. I can't say enough about our CEO,"Natcho". He was very accommodating and made sure each participant had the holiday they wanted. He was very knowledgeable in all of the geology, history and wildlife of the area. He definitely made this trip unforgettable. I highly recommend this adventure to novice and pro hikers.
