Highlights:
This unique escape works equally well as a honeymoon/special anniversary or as a get together of two or three couples with similar interests. Those interests would include fine dining, elegant accommodations, a variety of activities and a sense of uniqueness.
You will visit Buenos Aires and be enveloped in its sophisticated lifestyle. A fast catamaran takes you across the River Plate to Uruguay and a resort on the banks of the river where you enjoy winery visits, horseback riding, cooking classes and a chance to relax in the spa. Finish up on the beach at Jose Ignacio which could be considered the Hamptons of South America (less crowded and more authentic).

Customizable Itinerary - 12 Days (from $6,531 per person)
Day 1: Depart USA

Upon arrival you are met by your guide and escorted to your car which will take you to your hotel. The rest of the day is yours to relax or stroll through the interesting neighborhood. We will be happy to make dinner recommendations.
Day 3: Enjoying the Sights and Delights of Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires is an elegant and cosmopolitan city with European flavor and a friendly atmosphere. You will get to see quite a bit of it today accompanied by your personal guide. You will start with the monumental highlights like the main square, Plaza de Mayo with its neo-classical Cathedral, colonial town hall and the Presidential Palace, the “Casa Rosada” which Juan and Eva Peron once inhabited. You then continue to the old neighborhood of San Telmo with its narrow cobblestone streets; La Boca with its multicolor tin houses, the elegant Barrio Norte neighborhood, and Palermo with its wonderful parks and gardens, monuments and magnificent mansions. You have the rest of the afternoon free for some shopping or a visit to one of the many art galleries. In the evening your guide will be waiting to take you back to San Telmo where you have dinner. After dinner you cross the cobblestone street into the most authentic tango venue in Buenos Aires. Here you will enjoy VIP seating for an authentic Tango performance, one of the best in the city.
Breakfast and Dinner
Day 4: A Carne Asado on the Pampas
After breakfast you will meet your guide who will take you to your car for a trip to the famous Argentine pampas, home to the gauchos. Your destination is San Antonio de Areco, a “gaucho” town about 80 miles from Buenos Aires. You are taken to a private estancia where a lunch of Argentine barbecue beef has been prepared which you enjoy with fine wines enjoying views of the endless plains. If you are inclined you can ride some of the estancia’s horses or take a ride in a sulky before returning to the city. This will be a large meal so we have left this evening open for you to decide how much you want for dinner.
Breakfast and Lunch
Day 5: A Fast Cruise to Uruguay
In the morning you are driven to the port where you board a high speed catamaran for the two hour trip across the River Plate (yes, it is that wide) to Colonia in Uruguay. You are met and taken to a more modest and tranquil part of the river and your elegant country resort. After you settle in you can elect to relax by the pool, take a cooking lesson or get a massage or treatment at the spa.
Breakfast and Dinner
Day 6: The Wines of Uruguay
Today you will visit a noted Uruguayan vineyard. Uruguayan wines have less tannin than their French counterparts offering a lighter but memorable taste.

In the afternoon you have the option of riding through scenic woodlands close to your resort.
Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
