Argentina tours with flights from Romania
Tour with flight, accommodation, transfer, meals and activities included.
Tango in Buenos Aires, the Iguazú Falls and Patagonia's glaciers — Argentina from end to end on one organised tour.
Argentina is vast, stretching from subtropical forest in the north to glaciers in the far south. A tour takes care of the distances for you: you see the colourful neighbourhoods of Buenos Aires and, depending on the route, waterfalls, glaciers or vineyards, with travel, hotels and visits arranged in advance.
It suits travellers who want dramatic landscapes, grilled beef and Malbec at a well-planned pace.
What you will see on the tour
Buenos Aires
A capital of wide avenues and characterful neighbourhoods: the colourful houses of La Boca and the Caminito, the Sunday antiques fair in San Telmo and Recoleta Cemetery, where Eva Perón is buried. In the evening, tango takes over the milongas and theatres.
The Iguazú Falls
Hundreds of waterfalls on the border with Brazil, deep in the rainforest, within a UNESCO-listed national park. Walkways lead right above the Devil's Throat (Garganta del Diablo), where the roar of the water carries a long way.
Perito Moreno Glacier
In Los Glaciares National Park, near El Calafate, the glacier's ice front towers above Lake Argentino. From the walkways opposite you can watch, and hear, blocks of ice break away and crash into the water.
The vineyards of Mendoza
At the foot of the Andes, Mendoza is Malbec country. Wineries welcome visitors for tastings, and on clear days you can see the snow-capped peaks from among the vines.
Everything you need to know before you go
When to go
The seasons are the reverse of Europe's. For Patagonia, the best time is November to March, the southern summer. Buenos Aires is pleasant in spring and autumn (October–November, March–April), and Iguazú can be visited year-round, with hot, humid summers.
What you see along the way
Tours usually start in Buenos Aires and continue to one or more regions: the Iguazú Falls in the north-east, the glaciers around El Calafate and Ushuaia in Patagonia, the vineyards of Mendoza or the colourful valleys of the north-west around Salta.
Good to know
Distances are huge — Buenos Aires to El Calafate is several hours by plane — so the pace of the tour matters. In Patagonia the weather changes quickly, even in summer: pack layers, a waterproof jacket and sunglasses.
Local food
Asado (Argentine barbecue), bife de chorizo and empanadas are everywhere. Try dulce de leche in alfajores, Patagonian lamb roasted over embers and a glass of Malbec. Mate, yerba tea sipped from a gourd, is the locals' daily ritual.
Frequently asked questions
- What does a tour of Argentina include?
- Tours include flights, accommodation, transfers and the meals and activities listed in the programme, plus TravelTheme assistance. The exact route, number of days, meals and visits included are set out in each tour's offer.
- How many days does a tour last and what does the route look like?
- It varies from tour to tour. Most routes combine Buenos Aires with at least one far-flung region, such as Iguazú or Patagonia, because the distances between them are large. The exact number of days and the day-by-day itinerary are in each tour's offer.
- When is the best time for a tour of Argentina?
- Spring and the southern summer, from October to March, are the best months for a tour that includes Patagonia. March and April bring autumn colours and fewer crowds. The southern winter (June–August) is cold in the south, and some parts of Patagonia become hard to reach.
- What documents do I need for Argentina?
- Romanian citizens do not need a visa for a tourist trip to Argentina, but they do need a valid passport. If your flight connects outside the European Union, check that country's transit rules as well. Check the current requirements before you travel.
- What currency is used in Argentina?
- The local currency is the Argentine peso (ARS). Exchange rates change frequently, so it is worth checking the best way to pay before you go. Cards are accepted in cities and hotels, and cash is handy for taxis, markets and tips.
