SMALL GROUP ADVENTURES IN ARGENTINA

Looking for that sweet spot between independent backpacking and a package holiday?

Travelling as part of a Small Group tour has its perks.   There are local expert tour leaders to take the hassle out of travel arrangements and show you the sights, plus a group of like-minded travellers to share the fun with.  All you have to do is turn up with a smile and a passport

Groups are small, normally 8-16 people, meaning the trips aren’t disruptive to the places visited, and a smaller number creates a good group dynamic; you’ll get to know a range of people from different backgrounds with a shared interest in travel.

Got the urge for adventure, but no-one to do it with? Over half of the travellers on Small Group trips are travelling solo.

With the Patagonian Andes as its glacial backbone, Argentina is a land of extreme wilderness, while its vast pampas are still home to roaming gauchos – the original South American cowboys. Had enough of the wild? The birthplace of the tango and the world's fifth-largest wine producer has enough high culture to satisfy the most discerning palate, plus a nightlife that'll keep you partying til dawn.

• Visit the striking Iguazu Falls, one of the seven natural wonders, a UNESCO world heritage site.
• From turquoise-blue lakes to mountainous panoramas, take a wild, special trip through Patagonia and beyond the usual routes. 
• Take a walk to remember through the heart of Los Glaciares National Park with its colossal glaciers, to the jagged peaks of the mighty Fitz Roy Massif, and feel the ice crunch under your feet as you take on the Perito Moreno glacier.
• Leave the main routes behind and explore colourful mountains, barren salt plains and lunar landscapes, of the northwest
• Savour the local wines and traditional delicacies such as empanadas, llama stew and, of course, Argentinian steak.
• Groove to Latin American rhythm at a tango club with dancers, gaucho music and Argentinean folklore.
• Hike to Mount Fitz Roy for a memorable view of Laguna de los Tres.
• Lose yourself in the beauty of Ushuaia Bay and see diverse marine life, such as cormorants and fur seals
• Set foot in the world's southernmost city

Argentina has an impressive variety of destinations which suit adventure.

World Class Adventures has access to the best tour operators and will tailor the holiday around you.

ARGENTINA HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

Vibrant, beautiful and brimming with life, Argentina seduces travellers with its heady blend of natural splendour, vivacious people, Latin passion and dramatic architecture. We can take you from the elegant streets of Buenos Aires to the raw, glacier-pitted landscapes of Patagonia or the lush jungle that envelops Iguazu Falls. There are many highlights to Argentina, but here are a few of our favourites:

• Ride with gauchos, wear actual chaps, drink Mate tea so bitter it makes you gurn, raise and wrestle cattle, and at night sing folk songs about love and loss. 
• See giant guinea pigs (Capybaras(, a squeaking, loveable feature of the Ibera Wetlands, Argentina’s answer to the Pantanal
• Take a drive through the striking multi-coloured valley of the Quebrada de Humahuaca for views of rainbow-striped and wind-shaped rock formation, and hear musicians play in a cave cathedral
• Climb South America's highest peak, Aconcagua
• Drink world-beating wine In Mendoza
• Surprise your senses with a little piece of Switzerland, Germany and Wales in the towns and villages
• Remember a leading lady - first peasant, leader, then legend, at Buenos Aires’s Evita Museum and discover the life of Eva Perón

With 30 years of adventure travel experience, I select operators who suit the way you want to travel. I remain independent, so I can recommend the package that fits your needs and budget. I compare options across the market so that you don’t have to, and give you honest and impartial advice.

Some small group tours are run by the operator I book and some are contracted to a specialist small group operator. Either way, I ask for locally owned accommodation and local guides where the tour allows, and I follow my Animal Welfare Policy on wildlife experiences. When the holiday includes flights, a payment to Sustainable Travel International is part of the price shown, with no opt-out, and I keep a record of each payment. My Traveller’s Pledge and full approach are on my Responsible Travel page.
