Our journey begins in the Chilean capital, Santiago and we explore Valparaiso and the wine valleys before a spectacular drive takes us up and over the Andes (below the foot of 6,962 m Aconcagua). We discover the Malbecs and colonial architecture of Mendoza, then fly to Salta and Jujuy provinces, close to the Bolivian border, to see traditional Quechua Indian culture and walk in extraordinary scenery.

 

After visiting an 18C estancia, complete with horses, gauchos and a classic Argentinian asado (grill) we conclude with a stay in an historic 5 star hotel in Buenos Aires and visiting an authentic tango milonga.
