Argentina presents an overwhelming range of landscapes and we visit three of the most distinctive based at legendary estancias. Historically cattle country, immense ranches or estancias, have been operated by families for generations. Now tourism has become another venture for the descendents of original settlers. You will experience the gracious service of Argentines, ride with the gauchos, navigate the seas, trek into the mountains, walk on a glacier, and explore vast stretches of incredibly diverse habitats for flora and fauna.

Buenos Aires, a world class city, demands time for the richness of culture found here. Two days will not nearly suffice, but will provide a glimpse of a most exciting city.

EXPECTATIONS OF PARTICIPANTS

This tour will include onsite visits to private gardens, National Parks and local farms. Please keep in mind that the very nature of an eco-tour will put us in out-of-the-way places. This means walking trails might be rough or steep, and there is always a chance of encountering insects.

You are travelling into a developing country. Conditions are not the same as in the United States. We stay in the private farms (Estancias), accommodations will be wonderfully pleasant, but often rustic, and rooms will not have air-conditioning. Please leave your country with the attitude that you are travelling to Argentina to experience another culture, another climate, and to see how people in another country live. The food is incredible, the culture is captivating and the scenery is beyond belief.

We will dine in different places during the trip. Although Argentines are very accommodating, there are limits to meeting special dietary needs. Special foods and/or special preparations may not be available at each or any stop.You will thoroughly enjoy this trip, and find all locations we visit absolutely delightful. Please always remember you are in a different country.
