  • Explore the history of the city with our favourite resident guide

Let the beauty of this sultry city sink in with two days to explore the music, cuisine and art that makes Buenos Aires such an exciting destination.

Stay in the residential neighbourhood of Palermo Soho at the Legado Mitico, one of our favourite boutique hotels tucked away in these leafy streets. From Palermo, you are within easy reach of many independent cafes, shops and restaurants. During your stay, we will arrange for our local guide to meet you at the hotel and take you on a half-day exploration of Buenos Aires. Start in Palermo and wind through to the Recoleta Cemetery, the old dockyards of Puerto Madero and the antique quarters of San Telmo and La Boca.

A private tango lesson might not be high on everyone’s list, but we can guarantee it will be full of fun and laughter – it’s an experience our clients rave about. After you’ve learnt some of the moves, join the locals at a traditional milonga, held in a community hall where everyone dances together and the vibe is welcoming and inclusive.

The service and food are exceptional, and the river trails and mountain hikes are a stunning introduction to Patagonian life.

Eolo is conveniently located halfway between the city of El Calafate and Los Glaciares National Park. Surrounded by 10,000 acres of private land with mountain views from every aspect, this is a haven and one of our favourite luxury lodges in Patagonia.

We will include a full day with a private trekking guide to take you ice trekking and to a stunning viewpoint of the Perito Moreno Glacier, one of the largest glaciers in the Patagonian Ice Field.
