What's this trip about?

    As South America's second-largest country, Argentina is blessed with a wealth of incredible landscapes, from red-rock desert to vibrant big cities. On this vacation, experience three of Argentina's must-see places! Begin your trip in Mendoza. As Argentina's primary wine producing region, you'll have plenty of opportunity to learn about and taste the local wine. On an included tour, head to several wineries in Maipu or Lujan de Cuyo. See how the scenery transitions from snow-capped mountains and vineyards to striking desert and colonial villages when you fly from Mendoza to Salta. Here in Argentina's northwest province you will find incredible natural wonders mixed in with indigenous culture. Wrap up your vacation in the capital of Buenos Aires, called the "Paris of South America" for its wide leafy boulevards and renowned arts scene. Indulge in a steak the size of your head at a parrilla, be a spectator at a fiery tango show and stroll the streets of this European-like city.
