Top Argentina Nature Parks

Immerse yourself in 'gaucho' cowboy life on a traditional 'estancia' ranch, without the pressure of planning your own itinerary, on this full-day group tour from Buenos Aires. Visit San Antonio de Areco, and explore its highlights before settling into a ranch for horseback riding, a cultural gaucho show, and a traditional meal. Well-suited for travelers wanting to see this side of Argentina but with the benefits a package experience offers.

Ride alongside the Rio Mendoza during a 1.5-hour tour on horseback. This midday excursion gives you a glimpse of southern Maipu you might otherwise miss, including rolling vineyards, olive groves, and leafy country lanes. Follow up with a gourmet “asado” (Argentine barbecue) at Divina Marga restaurant and wine cellar. Passengers are limited to eight to ensure a small-group experience, including the convenience of minivan transport from your hotel.

Travel to Tierra del Fuego National Park aboard the heritage End of the World train for a scenic and historical trip to Argentina’s only coastal national park. The rail line follows the route of the original convict train that ran in Ushuaia from 1910 to 1947. Learn about the history of the region as you take in a remote landscape dotted with rivers, waterfalls, forest and mountains. Have the option to remain for the day or longer when you reach the National Park station, or return on the same day.

Get more out of your time in Mendoza by setting off on a horseback riding adventure near the Andes Mountains. Opting for a horseback riding tour allows you to cover more ground than a hiking tour and explore mountainous off-road trails with ease. During the tour, stay energized with a range of tasty treats—including pastries, an “asado” barbecue, dessert, and local wine.
