Highlights:
This proposed program could be considered a tasting menu, offering a selection of the best experiences throughout the country combined with carefully curated properties from which you can explore each area. Starting in a 35 room boutique hotel on one of Buenos Aires’ very best streets in an elegant neighborhood, you then depart for the rugged beauty of Patagonia, exploring the wild, but still providing a spa at the end of the day.
Head inland to the Lake Region and stay at a rustic but refined lodge overlooking a “movie set” lake. Finish up visiting some of Mendoza’s best wineries and dining at a variety of restaurants including one that cooks over seven fires at various degrees of heat. Ideal for an anniversary or Honeymoon but could also be good with one or two other couples as long as they are very special friends.
