Summary

Focusing on the wildlife of Argentina this tour takes in several different environments including rainforest, wetlands, glaciers and Patagonian coastline.

Argentina is a highly varied country and that’s reflected in the range of Argentina wildlife tours included in this trip. See penguins in Ushuaia, whales in Puerto Madryn, birds in the Misiones rainforest, monkeys, otters and capybara in the Ibera Wetlands and a lot more Argentina animals along the way! Stay in some excellent lodges well placed for appreciating the wildlife and landscapes.

In addition to all the Argentina fauna and flora, take in two of the country’s top geographical attractions – Iguazu Falls and Perito Moreno Glacier.

This customizable nature tour of Argentina is just an example of what is possible, it can be tailor-made to fit your particular interests.

This itinerary takes in several different regions and so the climate and seasons vary. Most of the trip can be done year round and most wildlife is present year round, however whales and penguins are usually only present as follows:

Whales in Puerto Piramides – June to December (best September and October)
Penguins in Punta Tombo – September to March (best October to March)
Penguins in Ushuaia – mid October to March

The Ibera Wetlands get very hot from January to March. In contrast, Patagonia gets cold from June to August. If you can travel at any time of year, mid October to December is a particularly good time for this trip.

Arrive into Buenos Aires, Ezeiza airport. Most flights from North America and Europe arrive in the morning. You’ll be met at the airport and rather than head into the bustle of Buenos Aires like most visitors, you’ll head the opposite direction into the countryside and the elegant Estancia Villa Maria about 50 minutes away.
