What people love about Christmas & New Year Tours in Argentina
- Patagonia Adventure Tour (15 Nights)
This tour is breath taking. We saw whales in Puerto Madryn, Penguins in Ushuaia and lots of guanacos in the couth. I loved Torres del Paine and could easily go back there. Ushuaia is a hidden gem. I really felt that I was at the end of the world. I highly recommend this your. It is the most scenery I have ever seen, the transportation worked all the way and I had some great guides. I could take this tour again!
- 5-Day Trip to Ushuaia & El Calafate
The brochure for the trip was deceptive and lacked detail regarding the duration of the activities and what was to be seen and although it said no flights were included it wasn’t clear that somebody taking this trip would have to purchase three seperate tickets which we’re almost half the cost of the tout
- El Calafate All Glaciers – 4 Nights
This was an Amazing tour. We visited these wonderful glaciers and were blown out by the beauty.
