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 Iguazú Falls
A luxury 14-day tour covering Buenos Aires' cultural sites, Puerto Iguazú's famous falls, Posadas' Jesuit ruins, and Iberá's wildlife sanctuary. Includes 13 nights in luxury accommodations and comprehensive guided experiences at each location.
- Days 1-3
Buenos Aires:
Land at Ezeiza International Airport in the afternoon to skip the worst traffic into the city. Your first few days are perfect for exploring Buenos Aires' unique neighborhoods. Visit Recoleta to see its grand architecture and famous cemetery (bring cash for entry), check out Palermo's vibrant street art, and spend an authentic evening in Boedo learning to make empanadas with locals. Add a tango class in the early evening when classes are less busy. Book your tango lessons 2-3 days ahead since popular studios fill up fast.
- Days 4-7
Iguazú Falls Region:
Catch a morning flight to Puerto Iguazú (2 hours). Start with the Argentine side of the falls, which needs more walking time but gets you closer to the action. Set aside 5-6 hours to walk all three circuits - Lower, Upper and Devil's Throat. Head to Devil's Throat first thing in the morning before the crowds and heat arrive. For the Brazilian side, bring your passport and get there early since viewing platforms get packed by mid-morning. The nearby Bird Park makes a good addition to your Brazilian falls visit. Take a trip to Puerto Bemberg nature reserve, about 45 minutes from Iguazú. You can swim in the clear waters near Yasy Falls during the boat ride. Pack quick-dry clothes and water shoes since the rocks get slippery. The San Ignacio Jesuit ruins take a full day with 7 hours of driving, but their well-preserved 17th-century architecture makes the journey worthwhile.
- Days 8-10
Iberá Wetlands:
Getting to Rincón del Socorro lodge takes 5-7 hours on gravel roads. Start early and bring motion sickness medicine if you need it. You'll be rewarded with access to one of South America's largest wetlands, where you can spot rewilded giant anteaters and pampas deer. Activities change with the weather but usually include boat trips to see caiman and capybaras, horseback riding, and night safaris. Pack bug spray and quick-dry clothes for the humid, insect-rich environment.
- Days 11-14
Buenos Aires:
Back in Buenos Aires, dive deeper into the city's culture. Take the historic district tour in the morning when Plaza de Mayo is quiet. Spend your final days at San Telmo's antique markets (best on Sundays) and La Boca's colorful Caminito street. Stay in the main tourist areas of La Boca for safety. Book afternoon flights out of Buenos Aires to avoid morning traffic stress. The airport drive takes 45-90 minutes depending on traffic.
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.

What people love about 2-week Argentina tours
- Adventures in Patagonia
Excellent experience. The itinerary was an excellent mix of cultural experiences and breathtaking landscapes. Our guide, Luciano, was fantastic, and our local guides added to the experience.
- From Rio de Janeiro to the End of the World
We greatly enjoyed the tour. The local guides were excellent, and we liked the balance of guided tours on some days and free time on other days to do whatever we decided on our own. The only negative comment is that once a flight was scheduled very early (thus having to get up at 3 pm in order to make the flight), and then that same day after we landed and were transferred to our hotel, we had to leave on a tour almost immediately. Also, one hotel turned out to have 2 double beds instead of 1 queen size or king size bed. Other than that, the tour was fantastic!
- Antarctica Classic in Depth
To see Antarctica was an unbelievable experience and being taken to experiences that weren’t planned and extra was really special. The crew were all mostly very nice and the service on board very good. The cabin was great and what I saw I will never forget. The military operation of the landings left a somewhat negative impression but I don’t know how you could do it differently. Maybe not so direct and aggressive. At times there was a mismatch between the crew and the passengers. I witnessed a passenger struggling to board a zodiac and the crew member not helping until told and responding with ‚well you should be fit‘ for such a trip. Really. The landings fitted the military aspect where a more hands on guided approach would be more informative. Also the party aspect of the ship doesn’t really match my idea of an Antarctica expedition but I guess that’s life. But I got more than I wanted out of the trip and you can’t say more than that. Thank you.
