Argentina tours & holidays

Travel guide

As the world leader in travel experiences since 1947, we connect you to the real Argentina in a way like no other. Argentina is a giant of South America, stretching from the Tropic of Capricorn to the fringes of Antarctica. It’s filled with a myriad of landscapes from snowy mountains and icy glaciers, to steamy jungles and sun-drenched vineyards. It’s also a land of passionate culture, where Europe meets Latin America, from the vibrant tango halls of Buenos Aires to the gauchos riding horseback through the Pampas. When you take an Argentina holiday with Trafalgar, we’ll reveal the contrasting wonders of the country. Board an eco-train to see Iguazu Falls, the world’s largest waterfall system, or venture south to discover the Perito Moreno Glacier, one of Patagonia’s largest glaciers. Ride the Campanario Hill chairlift for sweeping views of Bariloche’s mountains, or cruise across Ushuaia Bay to spot Magellanic penguins. Wherever you go, you’ll be met with incredible cuisine and hospitality. Take the lead from the friendly Argentinians and indulge in feasts of Argentinian steak and Malbec wine. Travel with us and unlock the infinite possibilities thanks to our exclusive Trafalgar Highlights.

What to pack for Argentina

Formal wear

Although there is no written dress code, you may want to dress up for a tango show or a night at the Teatro Colón, one of the world’s best opera houses.

Versatile shoes

Argentina has a myriad of terrains and you’ll need shoes that can take you dancing across a tango hall, and hiking through rugged mountain trails.

Sunglasses

The sun is extremely strong in Argentina, and you’ll need sunglasses (and sunscreen) to protect yourself, even in winter when the gleaming snow can be blinding.

Wind and waterproof coat

Patagonia is famed for its chilly climate and strong winds, so you’ll need to pack a sturdy coat, scarf, hat and gloves to stay warm.

Adaptor plug

In Argentina, the standard voltage is 120 V and the power plugs and sockets are of type C and I. The standard frequency is 50 Hz.

Pack for sustainable travel

Consider your environmental impact when you next take a trip and go single-use-plastic-free by packing a reusable water bottle, a steel straw, your own shopping bags and refillable toiletry bottles.

Other things to know before you go

Depending on your nationality, you'll need a valid passport and may also need visas to enter. Please check this on our Frequently Asked Questions page, well in advance of your trip departure date. Some countries also require passports to have 3-6 months left on them before the given expiry date, so be sure to double check this before booking your travels.
