BEST TOURS

​

The city of Buenos Aires ,capital of Argentina, from 1880 on began to have constructions of romantic and neoclassical styles, based on European cities. Many streets have undergone restructuring. Currently, the center is undergoing a process of reformulation, always looking for more streets on which cars are not allowed. Tree-lined parks, giant avenues, ancient squares, historic buildings and grandiose monuments are some of the city's attractions. Everything takes on a special meaning in this place, perfect to discover on a walking tour.

Make time on the first day of your trip to go to Plaza de Mayo, the heart of the capital, the scene of numerous demonstrations and protests. From the square you will be close to the Casa Rosada, seat of the presidency, and the  Metropolitan Cathedral . A walk along the Caminito, this little street is very friendly; taking pictures there is a must and if you want to buy souvenirs you will find them.

It may seem strange, but the Recoleta Cemetery is among the main tourist attractions in the city. The highlight of the visit is the tomb of Evita Perón, much loved by her countrymen. In contrast to the cemetery, to see all the liveliness of the city, nothing better than visiting Avenida 9 de Julho, known for being the widest in the world, and the imposing Obelisk, at the intersection with Av. Corrientes, the "Broadway". of the city, and the Teatro Colón, very luxurious and one of the prides of Buenos Aires.  

On Sundays, visit San Telmo and its amazing fair, famous for its antiques, and much more. Also in San Telmo you can be photographed with a replica of Mafalda, the comic book character. For shopping, include a tour of the Galerias Pacífico, a shopping center that, in addition to bringing together great stores, has a beautiful interior decoration.
For an outdoor walk, be sure to visit the Japanese Garden, Calle Florida, a visit to Puerto Madero, Planetarium, Chinatown and Lujan Zoo. Another amazing tour can be done at Rosedal, a park in Palermo that is very colorful in spring. If you like cultural tours, the tips are to visit the National Museum of Fine Arts, the Museum of Latin American Arts and the El Ateneo Grand Splendid bookstore, where a theater used to be. If your taste is sports, we suggest visiting the neighborhood of La Boca and visiting La Bombonera, the Boca Juniors stadium and Estadio del River.

​

Leaving the capital, we head to the extreme south of Argentina, right there, in Patagonia, the place that brings together mountains, glaciers, lakes and natural parks and that offers the chance to enjoy unparalleled experiences, both in winter and in summer. In El Calafate, visit the Perito Moreno glacier. More than seeing, it's walking on the glacier. The same opportunity arises on the El Chaltén glacier, located in the homonymous city and much sought after by trekking lovers. There, regardless of what you are going to do, go walking along the numerous existing trails.  

Separated from the rest of the country by the Andes Mountains, Ushuaia invites you to board the End of the World Train and, then, to broaden your focus of vision on Patagonia. From the large windows, the landscape slowly unfolds until it reaches the Tierra del Fuego National Park.  

​

The landscape is of vineyards as far as the eye can see. In the background, the snow-covered Cordón del Plata frames the scene. In the air, the intoxicating smell is of an authentic Argentine cut of meat being roasted amidst the grapes. In her hands, the glass is of the best malbec vintage. Oblivious to this tranquility, mountaineers and adventurers travel through the Andes in search of adrenaline. Does the enchanting scenery seem unattainable? Know that this is the reality of those who visit the province - Mendoza, Argentina.  

Mendoza invites the visitor to sit back, relax and enjoy the best of the world of wines. And who could say that one day that entire desert would become one of the five largest producers - and consumers - of the drink in the world? Knowing that, of the total production, only 20% is exported would be reason enough to try the drink in loco. After all, the best wines, when they arrive in Brazil, are sold at astronomical prices.

Mendoza has much more to offer than just bottles of wonderful vintages of Malbec and Torrontés. Starting with the opportunity to visit several bodegas (as wineries are called) and see the entire wine production process up close: from planting to tasting. Along 100km of road, more than 1200 wineries are capable of taking any abstainer seriously.

Wines would not be complete without delicious dishes. And this is one of the main focuses of those looking for Mendoza: gastronomic tourism. Save a lot of your time for dream lunches and dinners, as they can last more than three hours.  

If, after so much abundance, you still have strength, Mendoza is an excellent opportunity to practice adventure sports. The tourism modality also attracts a large number of travelers. The quest is for long trails, ice climbing, thrills with whitewater rafting, paragliding flights and snow adventures. All with the protection of the “stone sentinel”, also called Aconcagua, the highest point in the Americas.

​

Landscapes worthy of movie scenes. Crystal clear lakes accompanied by a rugged geography, full of green hills in summer and white snow in winter. Barilocheis just like that, a place with privileged nature, good structure and a huge variety of tours to explore its beauties. Allied to the natural images are the charm of German and Austrian colonization, not-so-exorbitant prices and excellent cuisine.

Cerro Catedral, the largest snow sports center in South America, is an obligatory stop. There are several places to play in the snow, such as Piedras Blancas - ideal for skiing - and Cerro Bayo - which is located in Villa La Angostura and has an impressive view. Cable car rides end up being a constant in the daily life of the tourist who visits the place; among them, we highlight Cerro Otto (where the Confeitaria Giratória is located) and Cerro Campanario (considered the place with the best view in the city).
