More Details
Winelands Road Trip
Take a unhurried drive through the valleys surrounding Mendoza, heading for the hills to go hiking in the Andes under the watchful eye of Aconcagua, the highest mountain in South America. Perhaps hire a classic Citroen 3CV, a vehicle unique to Argentina, to cruise the countryside.
Sip Malbec in a Plunge Pool
Stay in an idyllic wine country adobe-style house in the foothills of the Andes, unwinding in a private plunge pool with a glass of local Malbec in hand. Saunter through the vineyards, tuck in to seasonal locally-inspired dishes and venture out to explore the landscape on horseback or on bicycles.
Blend Your Own Wine & Grape Safaris
Become winemakers for the day during a blending workshop at one of the award-winning vineyards in the valley, completing the process by labelling your own blend of wine. Perhaps create some extra bottles to bring home as mementos and uncork on special future anniversaries.
Dine on a Private Island
Staying in a stunning rainforest-fringed bungalow on one of Brazil’s most spectacular beaches, step away from your plunge pool to take a cooking lesson with the resort chef, dine on a private island, hike forest trails or try paragliding over the ocean. Spend time on the beaches of southern Brazil, sipping cocktails from your private balcony and watching as the sun sets over the Atlantic; Ponta dos Ganchos is one of the only places in Brazil where this is possible. For a no expense spared trip, stay in the luxury suite that has hosted guests like Beyonce and Paul McCartney.

When to travel
Argentina in January

Summer is the best time of year for all the outdoor experiences that the country has to offer.
Argentina in March
March brings the end of summer across the country. If you are planning to visit Patagonia, it is best to start here in early March as it is still accessible.
Argentina in April
April starts the autumn in Argentina. As the temperatures lower, crowds thin across the country. This can be a great time to avoid large numbers of visitors and to experience the autumnal colours across the countryside.
Argentina in May
As the country moves further into late autumn, temperatures continue to drop. However, cooler temperatures can make for a pleasant visit to Iguazu Falls, Mendoza and the desert avoiding the crowds.
Argentina in June
June begins the winter season across the country. Although Patagonia becomes more challenging to access, this can be a good time to visit other more popular destinations further north without the crowds. This is also the best time to view the southern right whales off the Valdes Peninsula.
Argentina in July
July and August are the depths of winter for the country. This brings much cooler temperatures and snow in some regions. Although perhaps not an ideal time to see the highlights, this can be a good time to visit Buenos Aires in an off-peak time with cooler temperatures.

Argentina in September
September officially welcomes spring across Argentina. This is a great time to experience the northern region without the peak season prices or crowds.
Argentina in October
As the country moves further into spring, the countryside starts to bloom with wildflowers. This is a great time of year to get involved with outdoor activities while temperatures are still cool and the crowds are quieter.
Argentina in November
November is a great time of year to visit as summer begins yet beating the peak season crowds that come in December. Patagonia is in full bloom and the vineyards of Mendoza are surrounded by the stunning snow-capped Andes.
Argentina in December
December in Argentina brings the start of the peak season. Temperatures are warm, although due to the size of the country these can vary so it is advisable to bring layers. Weather is at its most desirable for outdoor activities and sightseeing. Following from the spring rains, the falls of Iguazu are at their most impressive during December.
