ARGENTINA
Argentina's classics.
The 10 1-day tours worth your time in Argentina. The prices, the operators behind them, and what each day actually involves.
Full-day Salta trip to Purmamarca and Salinas Grandes, with 7 Color Hill and Cuesta del Lipán views. Guided, long, worth it.
“Good day trip program with all combinations of salt flat and mountains.”
Full-day Andes tour from Mendoza along Route 7 with Potrerillos, Uspallata, Puente del Inca, and Aconcagua-area viewpoints for $75.
“We really enjoyed our trip. Guide was very nice, well prepared and shared all of the information with great passion. Pick up and drop off option worked perfectly. Condition of the bus was very good and driver drove well and safely which was important due to specifics of some of the roads in the mountians.…”
Spend a full day at Santa Susana Ranch with downtown pickup, empanadas and wine, parrillada barbecue lunch, and gaucho plus tango shows.
“Was a great day start to finish. Our guide, Eileen, and our driver were excellent. Very enjoyable. They accommodated a vegetarian on the trip - even in the meat loving experience of the gauchos.”
A long Salta day trip to the Calchaquí Valleys, with big rock views, guided stops, and a Cafayate vineyard tasting in under 12 hours.
“Angie was an incredible guide, we thoroughly enjoyed this trip!”
Don Silvano gaucho ranch day trip from Buenos Aires with empanadas, horseback riding, asado barbecue, folklore dancing, and mate tea.
“A soul destroying experience!!! This was not a trip to anything resembling a gaucho ranch. It was a hotel with grounds, some chickens, peacocks and 20 or so horses. And the experience was commercial garbage for the most part. You arrive at the ranch and are given a ticket if you want to 'ride' the…”
A long, scenic day from Salta to Cachi and the Calchaquí Valleys, with Los Cardones cactus views, key stops, and hotel pickup for a great price.
“Explicación de la guía Cecilia Bellos paisajes. Excelente el conductor bajó con niebla. Cachi es inolvidable”
A 16-hour day trip from Puerto Natales to Perito Moreno Glacier in Los Glaciares National Park, with round-trip transport and a guide.
“Little bit long time at the bus, but Cecila was really excellent. And Glacier Perito Moreno is really amazing. So trip was perfect!”
Mendoza day trip to Potrerillos Dam, Uspallata, Puente del Inca, Aconcagua viewpoints and Las Cuevas, with Cristo Redentor in summer.
“paisaje maravilloso!”
A 12-hour bus day trip from Salta to Cachi via Cuesta del Obispo, Los Cardones, and the Calchaquí Valleys, with a bilingual guide.
“Gostei do grupo, incrível! a guia Gabriela muito acessível e conhecedora. fiquei desiludida porque não paramos na recta de Tintin nem na ida nem na volta. sempre chovendo quando fomos pela costa del obispo para lá mas quando voltamos já não chovia tanto, podíamos ter parado também. no geral valeu o dinheiro.”
Ride into the Andes with gauchos from Mendoza, sip mate, eat ranch asado at 2700m, and enjoy a small-group horse day trip.
“A most enjoyable day, horses were great, guides were pleasant. Lunch and wine was a bonus and the fire warmed us all.”
