Let our South American expert Heather tailor make a tour for you, after living in South America for 7 years, visiting Argentina several times, Heather knows the country inside out! Memorable moments have been sinking waist-deep into the snow in Ushuaia, spending a week trekking in the El Calefate region, stocking up on delicious facturas (pastries) and coffee in Buenos Aires, and feeling very small looking up at the Perito Moreno Glacier. On a tailor made tour you can enjoy the flexibility to go exactly where you want, when you want, travelling independently and not as part of a group. We can create a tour for a few days as part of our Round the World trip or an in-depth explorations of the highlights of Argentina.
