Upon arrival in Buenos Aires, your guide will be waiting to transfer you to your hotel. Settle in and get ready for an evening of entertainment.

Today, visit the highlights of Buenos Aires, including the Obelisk, 9 de Julio Avenue, the Colon Theater, the French Embassy, Plaza de Mayo, Plaza San Martin and the financial district. Learn the history and essence of Tango in the traditional neighborhoods of La Boca, Monserrat and San Telmo (home of the famous Sunday antique market). Stroll through the elegant neighborhoods of Recoleta and trendy Palermo. Finally, visit Puerto Madero, the modern part of the city.  Puerto Madero was Buenos Aire’s former port and has transformed into a neighborhood with luxurious skyscrapers, a yacht club and first-class restaurants.

Get ready for an exciting cooking class and learn how to cook like an Argentine. Whip up Locro, carbon, pies, the famous Neapolitan Milanese, along with delicious regional desserts. After the cooking class, sit down and dive into your meal paired with the best Argentine wines.

In the morning, transfer to the Buenos Aires Airport (AEP). Then, board your flight from Buenos Aires to Mendoza, the heart of Argentina’s wine region.

Mendoza is synonymous with wine. With 365 days of sunshine, this desert land is a wine producing haven. While in the area, make sure to swirl, smell and sip on Malbec, Argentina’s crown jewel. This Argentine red blend is exuberant with fruity flavors that top any French version. If you have some time, head to the Uco Valley, Mendoza’s most fertile wine region. During your visit, choose from a variety of excellent Argentine wines to bring back home to taste test with your friends and family.

Spend two free days at your leisure. Horseback ride through the vineyards, enjoy plenty of wine tastings or simply relax at the hotel.

We recommend dining at Siete Fuegos “Seven Fires”, where internationally acclaimed chef Francis Mallmann cooks regional beef dishes by open-flame, an old style cooking method inspired by the gauchos. Specialties include the 9 hour slow grilled rib eye, salt encrusted salmon and seasonal grilled fruit. Pair your meal with some award-winning wines from Mendoza.

Enjoy your final moments in Mendoza. Take a quick flight over the Andes Mountains to Santiago de Chile.  Or during the summer months, take a bus over the Andes to experience the fascinating landscape of the Andes.

Santiago de Chile is an energetic city ready for visitors to explore. Hike to the top of San Cristobal Hill, wander around the Plaza de Armas (main square) and check out the number of neighborhoods that surround the city, that sparkle with their own unique flavor.
