r/ArgentinaTravel

Hello

My partner and I are planning on Argentina (and a bit of Chile) for our honeymoon in March next year. We will have almost three weeks. At the moment we are planning on sticking to a more limited area and not flying down south as we want to minimise the amount of time in airports and balance out the exploring with some relaxing as well as will be knackered after the wedding. We are particularly interested in the wine area as well as some city exploring. Basically I want to eat steak, drink wine, and just absorb being there for three weeks.

This is my vague plan at the moment. Are there any bits that aren’t worth it, or any obvious easy to add places?

Day 1-4 Buenos Aires (then 4 hour ish bus to)
Day 5-6 Rosario (then 4 hour ish bus to)
Day 7-8 Cordoba (then fly to)
Day 9-12 Salta / Cafayate area (then fly to)*
Day 13-18 Mendoza vineyards (then probably fly, maybe drive)
Day 19-21 Santiago / Valparaiso

*or hire a car and make this bit into a road trip down to Mendoza over a few days as it looks beautiful

I think I probably need to shave off one or two days to account for travel time from the uk. Now I’m looking at it, I also wonder whether doing it reverse would also be more relaxing, starting with the bit with less moving around.

Any thoughts or advice would be super welcome!

Hi all, I have three days in Buenos Aires (staying in Palermo Soho area) before heading out to the mountains. While in the city i'm planning to check out the Recoleta cemetery and parque tres de febrero with friends on day 1, visit the historical district on day 2 with a bit of antique shopping in the afternoon and a tango event at night. What are some must see/do things I should consider for day 3?

Hi guys,

We’ve been wanting to go Patagonia in January in campervan, and we only have 14 days.

Do we just do Argentina side for the whole 14 days (like will it be already worth it for the long travel);

Or combine Argentina and Chile? But wouldn’t it be rushed for the latter?
