Mountaineers from all around the world dream of climbing in the Andes and reaching the summit of Aconcagua, the highest peak on Earth outside the Himalayas.

Buenos Aires’ European feel

Although a 10-13 hour flight separates Buenos Aires from major European capitals, you will probably feel quite at home in this large metropolis, where a lot of people speak English.

Beautiful, rugged Patagonia

There are few places on Earth as stunning as Patagonia. Deep blue lakes, enormous glaciers and endless peaks make for truly unforgettable scenery. You could explore Patagonia for months!

More Info

Located in southern South America, Argentina is a large and diverse country, with many different landscapes and climates. The high mountains of the Andes are in stark contrast with the endless plains in the center of the country. The remoteness of Patagonia seems a world away from busy Buenos Aires. Famous for its high-quality red meat, make sure you fit an asado (bbq) into your visit. A short stay in Mendoza, well-known for its Malbec, could also be a good option for wine lovers.

Good to Know

What’s the weather like?

It gets colder as you move south. Expect scorchingly hot summers in the north and an agreeable temperature in Patagonia (although nights can get cold). During the winter, below zero temperatures are common in Patagonia.

How to get there?

You will probably fly into Buenos Aires. If you are planning on visiting Patagonia, you will probably want to fly to Bariloche, Calafate or Ushuaia, depending on what your goals are. For Aconcagua, fly into Mendoza.
