Day by day

Day 1 : Buenos Aires, Argentina

Arrive and check in to your hotel in Argentina’s dynamic capital, Buenos Aires. A city of contrasts, Buenos Aires blends Latin and European influences, with tree-lined avenues, colonial-era architecture, and vibrant nightlife. Wander through its diverse neighborhoods, known as barrios, each exuding a distinct charm. Stroll the cobblestone streets of historic San Telmo, where Belle Époque buildings and the rhythmic beats of tango create an enchanting atmosphere.

Day 2 : Ushuaia, Argentina

After breakfast, depart for Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world. Nestled between the Beagle Channel and the Andes, it serves as a launching point for Antarctic explorations. Ushuaia is also the gateway to the legendary Tierra del Fuego, or “Land of Fire,” so named by early Spanish explorers who saw the perpetual fires of the indigenous Yámana people. This remote and largely untouched region is composed of the vast Tierra del Fuego island and numerous Chilean and Argentine islets.
