Hiking the saw-toothed Perito Moreno Glacier, the thunderous roar of Iguazú Falls, wine-tasting at Mendoza’s many vineyards... On a tailor-made holiday to Argentina with Audley, you’ll see the highlights — and much more — your way. We’ll design your ideal trip with you, paying close attention to your interests, your travel style and your budget. Our Argentina specialists know the country inside out and can lead you to experiences you won’t find in a guidebook. Road-trip through red-sandstone gorges and desolate deserts of northern Argentina on Ruta 40. Fragrant orange trees waft over the red-brick Jesuit ruins of San Ignacio Mini. Sip mate, the drink of the gauchos, on the veranda of an estancia overlooking yerba plantations. Float through the caiman-rich waters of the Iberá wetlands. Attend a traditional asado (barbecue) in the backstreets of Buenos Aires’ barrios. The slinky movements of tango dancers. The faint beat of a gaucho tearing through the faraway pampas. Magellanic penguins huddling noisily in cliffside burrows. What excites you? Travel at your own pace, in your own style, with the confidence that we’ll show you the best options, wherever you go.

Homestays & Local Immersion Tour Selection Trips
- Do your research and ask questions. Homestays can be a wonderful insight into local life, but occasionally hotels are falsely advertised as "home stays".
- Be a courteous guest. Tidy up after yourself, and look out for house rules, such as taking your shoes off before entering. Your host should enjoy having you as much as you enjoy staying there!
- Stretch beyond your comfort zone! You may encounter squat toilets, cold showers and strange new foods, but it's all part of the experience. And who knows, you may find you have a taste for boiled frog or fried crickets.
- Spend time with your hosts. A homestay is more than simply renting a room - it is a chance to get involved with a family's way of life. And don't forget that the reason many people agree to host is to learn about your culture, too.
