DISCOVERING ARGENTINA
The following tours have been designed to
take in as many of the country's highlights
as possible. In a country the size of Argentina
long-distance travel is a reality, so internal
flights have been recommended on longer
tours in order to keep travel time between
major stops to a minimum. On the following
pages, to start there is a two-day tour of
Buenos Aires. Next comes a seven-day tour
of South Argentina, with extra suggestions
to extend the trip to ten days if desired.
Finally, there is a 14-day itinerary taking in
some of North Argentina's most magnificent
natural highlights. Each itinerary can be
followed individually, or combined with
another tour. Pick, combine, or faithfully
follow - the choice is yours. Booking ahead
for major sights is recommended.
Glaciar Perito Moreno
The mighty 2.5-mile
(4-km) face of Perito
Moreno, the star sight
of Parque Nacional Los
Glaciares, is best viewed
by boat or from the
dizzying catwalks on
Peninsula Magellanes.
