Argentina Travel: Two Weeks To See The Highlights
Two weeks in Argentina may seem like a long time but after researching what this amazing country has to offer its visitor's one quickly realizes that two weeks just isn't enough time to see it all. Unfortunately, sometimes two weeks is all the time we have to enjoy a vacation abroad. Daily lives often can't afford much more of a break than that. I've outlined a suggested Argentina travel itinerary that includes main highlights that you don't want to miss, and a way to squeeze it all into two weeks.
Fly into Buenos Aires, the gateway to Argentina and the lively and animated cultural and political capital. Plan a full day to do a city tour and see a tango show in the evening. There are many different options for a city tour, there are walking tours, biking tours, classic tours, etc. It is definitely suggested that you do one of these to familiarize yourself with this amazing city and its important history. A tango show is a great way to end your first full day in Argentina.
From Buenos Aires you will fly directly to Puerto Iguazu, home to the famous Iguazu Falls. Iguazu Falls is a series of 275 waterfalls along a short stretch of the Iguazu River. It is probably the most amazing waterfalls on the planet and deserves a visit if at all possible. You'll want to make sure you've got plenty of life in your camera because it's to see a lot of action capturing this place.
Leaving Iguazu on the fifth day fly to Puerto Madryn where the main attraction is a visit to the Valdez Peninsula, the adventure capital of the region, offering mountain biking, horseback riding, kayaking, and sand-boarding. Visit Caleta Valdes to see a rockery covered in sea elephants and Punta Delgada to see the popular hang-out spot for sea lions. Whale-watching cruises are available certain times of the year from June to December.
On the eighth day fly to Tierra del Fuego, the most southern inhabited lands on the planet, and Ushuaia, the largest city on the island. Here you will be in the heart of Andean-Patagonian forest. The rough and wild wilderness leaves a lasting impression. From Ushuaia you can fly to El Calafate and visit Perito Moreno Glacier, probably the most famous glacier in the world. It is the most important of all 13 glaciers found in Glaciers National Park and with its immense size, nature offers a unique experience of infinite peace and tranquility. The silence of the lands is interrupted every so often by huge chunks of ice cracking off the glacier and splashing into the lake below.
From El Calafate fly to Bariloche, possibly the most famous ski and snowboard resort city in all of South America. If you are not going to ski for the day or it is the wrong season, take a tour of the region that will take you to some of the most beautiful overlook spots and points of interest such as Playa Bonita and Llao Llao Peninsula.
From Bariloche you can fly back to Buenos Aires for your return flight or transfer on to your next South America travel destination.
