An Active Family Adventure in Argentina

Try your hand at making Argentina’s most famous street food, the empanada. You’ll learn about the different types of fillings, and perfect your crimping skills too. This cookery class is perfect for families and groups of friends.

Head out on two wheels for an exploration of Palermo and Recoleta by bicycle. Visit Recoleta’s impressive cemetery with its many mausoleums and tombs, including the  tomb of Evita Perón. Discover the boulevards of the old district to get a feel for this part of Buenos Aires. Palermo is one of the richest sites in the island for history and art, see its grand Cathedral, the Palace of the Normans and its superb Palatine Chapel.

Along with your private guide make your way on foot or by a small train along Sendero Verde to the spectacular ‘Devil’s Throat’ which sees the largest flow of water. Next, take the catwalk over the Upper Iguazu River, crossing several islands, to a spectacular lookout point, resting on the side of the gorgeous Devil’s Throat.

This tour is a thrilling exploration of the Lower Iguazú River and Central Falls. Taking a powerful Zodiac boat, you’ll approach the Tres Mosqueteros Falls and the dramatic Devil’s Throat. These ‘up close and personal’ boat rides are the only true way to feel first-hand the immensity of this natural phenomenon. The Zodiac will get as close as possible to the foot of the main drop, allowing you to immerse in the ferocious power created by the feeding streams, culminating in the Central Falls. Be prepared to get thoroughly wet during this adrenaline packed adventure.

You’ll have some free time to walk along the paths and see the spectacular view of Iguassu Falls on the Brazilian side. It takes only 20 minutes to walk from Hotel Das Cataratas to the lookout point of the falls.

Some of the most remote wilderness of Nahuel Huapi National Park can only be accessed by water. Such is the case of the still seldomly visited Tristeza Inlet and Hidden Falls trail. Exploring both in a boat and on foot, this excursion takes you into a glacially carved inlet and the lush Valdivian Forest with plenty of opportunities to watch the local fauna and the most emblematic flora of the western side of the park

Set off with your driver down Route 40 to Nahuel Huapi National Park, along the Rio Manso to reach ‘John’s Ranch’ base camp. After a safety briefing with a qualified guide, don wetsuits and start rafting. Paddle through narrow canyons and grand gorges with occasional rapids, looking out for wildlife. Disembark for a short, steep trail to the waiting support vehicle for lunch and a change of clothes before returning to Bariloche.

Perito Moreno glacier is the park’s most famous and imposing resident, which stretches three miles wide and 200 feet high above Lake Argentino. Explore the Los Glaciares National Park by car and hiking trails, looking out for Andean condors, buff-necked ibis, black-chested buzzard eagles, ashy-headed geese. Gaze at the mighty glacier, Lago Argentino and the imposing Andean Mountains in the background.

Take an unforgettable cruise across Lake Rico, where giant icebergs float, dramatically carved off the face of the Perito Moreno Glacier. This one-hour trip takes you onto the lake, stopping at a safe distance from the glacier, but close enough to feel it looming over you. Continue sailing down its textured façade to view the ice in spectacular style.
