Embark on thrilling Argentina vacations packed with unforgettable adventures and breathtaking landscapes.

Imagine embarking on an exciting journey through Argentina, a land that promises a tapestry of adventures and vivid experiences. From the strumming rhythms of tango in the spirited streets of Buenos Aires to the whispering winds of the Patagonian glaciers, Argentina adventure travel invites you to explore its diverse landscapes and vibrant culture. This blog post will take you through the essential highlights of Argentina adventure tours and the irresistible allure of...

The Alluring Buenos Aires

No trip to Argentina is complete without experiencing Buenos Aires, the heart of Argentine culture. Known for its blend of European elegance and South American spirit, the city is a dynamic hub of art, music, and gastronomy. Wander through the colourful alleys of La Boca, where the vibrant murals tell the story of Argentina's rich cultural heritage. As you stroll along El Caminito, you're likely to encounter impromptu tango performances – a dance that encapsulates the passion of the city itself.

The Spectacular Andean Heights

Venture into the rugged terrains of the Andes, where adventure awaits at every corner. Nestled within this majestic mountain range is the Aconcagua, the highest peak outside of Asia. Climbing Aconcagua is a dream for seasoned mountaineers, but the scenic trails around it offer breathtaking views for trekkers of all levels. For those seeking an adrenaline rush, consider joining a guided mountain biking tour down the exhilarating slopes of Mendoza's pre-Andes hills. Argentina adventure tours offer the perfect blend of natural splendour and thrilling escapades.

Patagonia: A Wilderness Wonderland

If it's untamed wilderness that you seek, then Patagonia will not disappoint. This region is a haven for adventurers yearning to explore the vast solitude of nature. Experience the dramatic landscapes of Los Glaciares National Park, where the Perito Moreno Glacier offers a spectacle of creaking ice and sapphire blue hues. Hiking enthusiasts can traverse the trails leading to Mount Fitz Roy, a sight that will reward them with stunning panoramic vistas.

Iguazú Falls: Nature's Masterpiece

No less spectacular are the thunderous Iguazú Falls, a UNESCO World Heritage site that straddles the border between Argentina and Brazil. Here, over 270 waterfalls converge amidst the lush rainforest, creating a symphony of cascading water and mist. Exploring this natural marvel is a must on any Argentina adventure travel itinerary, where the power of nature can be felt firsthand from the viewing decks and walkways.

The Enchanting Wetlands of Iberá

A lesser-known gem, the Iberá Wetlands is one of the world’s most important freshwater habitats. This vast network of marshlands and lagoons is teeming with wildlife. Spot capybaras, caimans, and a spectacular array of birds as you navigate through this ecological wonder. Guided eco-tours offer insights into the conservation efforts that protect this fragile environment, perfect for nature lovers and wildlife photographers.

Culinary Adventures Across Regions

Argentina’s adventures extend to its rich culinary landscape. Indulge in a gastronomic journey through regions famed for their unique flavours. Sample the exquisite wine varieties of Mendoza, where vineyards stretch as far as the eye can see. Pair this with traditional Argentine barbecues, or asado, renowned for their succulent, flame-grilled meats. Each province brings its culinary flair to the table, making dining as much an exploration as the excursions themselves.

Designing Your Ideal Adventure

The allure of Argentina travel packages lies in their ability to tailor experiences to fit your adventure cravings. Whether it's bespoke tours through bustling cities, extensive treks through untouched landscapes, or cultural discoveries in quaint towns, there is an itinerary that caters to every traveller's dream. Expertly crafted Argentina adventure tours ensure a seamless experience, combining the thrill of exploration with comfort and local insights.

In exploring the remarkable diversity of Argentina, each journey, be it in the rhythm of city life or the stillness of the Patagonian wilderness, promises to be most memorable. Let yourself be drawn into the enchantment of Argentina, a country where every path leads to a new discovery.

The best time to visit Argentina depends on the region you want to see, but Spring (September-November) and Autumn (March-May) are generally ideal for visiting Buenos Aires, Mendoza, and Iguazú Falls, offering pleasant weather and beautiful scenery. For Patagonia, the summer months (December-March) are best for hiking and accessible trails, though you can visit other times of year with appropriate clothing.

Our trip to South Africa was a dream come true thanks to Gina our travel consultant. Right from our first meeting almost two years ago the planning and execution were beyond perfect. The itinerary was carefully chosen and provided us with a full range of experiences that were incredible . Logistically everything worked like clockwork( flights and ground transportation ) and even with the storm and the re routing the local company , Thompson travel , Mike, did an excellent job and did disappoint We had quite the adventure. The accommodation chosen for us by Gina were all different and very unique ! A new adventure every night Both safaris were excellent yet so different. We have to say we will hold a special place in our hearts for our last stay at the Garonga , the staff were incredible and it felt like a family. We saw is all, smelled it all , ate and drank it ( we both gained 5 lbs ) all and learned so much. South Africa is an amazing country with beautiful souls. Every penny spent and every mile travelled was well worth every penny.We will be talking about this for years. Thank you Gina and your colleagues behind the scenes at Goway travel for making our dreams come true! Deirdre Keane

I found this agency when trying to find a trip to New Zealand and Australia. I never heard of them before, so I had to do some research to make sure they were legit. This trip was going to be seemingly more in cost, so I needed to feel everything was going to go as planned and I was not going to be scammed. I had Natasa Jaric as my Specialist. Her and I worked on an itinerary that suited my needs. She is very friendly and knowledgeable. I had back to back tours for three weeks straight, as well as transfers and hopper flights. This was what I wanted, as this was my " One and Done" for this region. My transportation, hotels, tours and flights went as planned. Of course, Mother Nature dictates some plans and one activity was cancelled. I am getting a refund through the agency. Please book with confidence! This company is reputable and delivers on the itinerary. I had the opportunity to review each part of my itinerary with Natasa prior to leaving to make sure all looked correct. My trip was unforgettable!!! Thank you Goway Travel for making this trip so effortless and smooth.Consumer

Goway gave us a magical holiday in Southeast Asia. From the organization of the transportation, guides and drivers, hotels and tours, everything ran like clockwork with quality accommodations, experienced guides and drivers and amazing excursions. We had a wedding in Bali Indonesia that was the stimulus for visiting 7 countries Cebu Philippines, Hanoi, Hue and Hoi An Vietnam, Siem Reap Cambodia, Bangkok Thailand, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, Bali, Indonesia and Taipei, Taiwan. We had marvelous tour guides and drivers. All of them spoke excellent English, had years of experience, were very knowledgeable and passionate about their country and its heritage, very friendly, funny, patient , flexible and accommodating. In Bali we were able to add another tour when we changed hotels and the guide was able to accommodate our friends from Canada to go with us. The drivers were excellent considering the traffic volumes and what we would consider complex driving movements by cars, trucks, bicycles, vespas, tuk tuks and motorcycles. The hotels we were placed in were five stars, with exceptional breakfast which showcased the country's food. We were always able to find ethnic food from that area that we could try. I would highly recommend the Sofitel Legend Metropole in Hanoi. The hotel even has a bunker from the Vietnam War that you can tour if you are staying there. Also the Komaneka at Bisma in Ubud Indonesia was a beautiful property and we were treated like royalty by being placed in a villa with our own swimming pool. All the hotels except one had universal outlets. For any of the Temples whether Buddha or Hindu, churches or Mosques, you need covered shoulders, covered knees and covered toes. Some like Indonesia provide sarongs as part of the entrance fee. For tours the I highly recommend the following: The overnight Ginger Cruise of Halong Bay. The suites were like what you see in the movies of Chinese junket's. You visit a secluded fishing village, the scenery is amazing, the food was excellent and we were taught how to make spring rolls and went squid fishing. The half day cooking class in Cambodia was an amazing experience. We were taken out to a village farm with a multi-generational Cambodian family. The farm had power but no running water. Water was gathered from the river or rainfall. We went to other farms around the village to look at the crops of herbs and vegetables, including rice that were used in the dinner. Also visited the village market for fruits, meats and fish. You were taught how to prepare the foods with the women of the farm while the men set up tables, chairs and lighting for the evening meal. The whole family plus our guide and driver ate the prepared meal under the stars. It was totally awesome. Also don't miss the cooking class at the Blue Elephant in Bangkok. This was a class of 12 students, again with a market tour to select ingredients for what we would be cooking. We prepared four courses which were first demonstrated then we went into a kitchen with stations where each of us prepared that course. Afterwards we sat down to eat the meal that we had prepared. For a different authentic experience The Dark Foodie Tour in Siem Reap by Vespa was one of the highlights of the tour. This tour you spend time with the Cambodian people in the night market, bars and restaurants and even a local fair. You are driven around the city like the locals on Vespa's. You will see lots of temples but two you don't want to miss is Angkor Wat in Cambodia and Wat Suthat in Thailand. Both are astounding and if you get a chance circle back to view the Wat Suthat at night where the lights on the temple show off its beauty. Chris Lawson

We recently enjoyed a tour around Australia arranged by Natasa Jarik at Goway Travel. The trip lasted 10 days, too short to do justice to all of Australia, but enough to give us a taste of a fascinating country. The trip was excellent, exactly what we were looking for. The complicated logistics all worked out smoothly and perfectly. Everything was on time and as advertised. The individual tours were excellent, the guides were absolutely first rate, the accommodations all worked out well (especially the central location of Swissotel in Sydney), and we thoroughly enjoyed the trip. One of the really enjoyable days was day 1, when we arrived early in the morning after a long plane flight from the US and spent the day walking through the parks and gardens and around the harbor in Sydney, visiting a couple of museums, and having a wonderful dinner at a little restaurant around the corner from our hotel. Sydney is a beautiful city! We missed spotting a cassowary in the rain forest, but we saw lots of roos and koalas and emus and dingoes and wombats and crocodiles and wallabies at Kangaroo Island and the Daintree rain forest, snorkeled at the Great Barrier Reef, and enjoyed a very interesting tour around Sydney. The arrangements were handled efficiently and easily. Thank you, Natasa, for arranging a perfect tour for us!Mike Cherry

This is an excellent tour agency that provides an excellent, all inclusive safari experience in South Africa, especially in the renown Kruger National Park. The agency will provide a very detailed, day-by-day itinerary of the trip, which, for the most part, describes exactly the order of activities that a customer will experience from start to end of the reserved trip. Our safari trip included a hotel pick-up in Cape Town in the beginning of the safari trip and drop-off at the end of the trip. Flights to and from either Johannesburg or Mpumalanga airport are included. We reserved a 3-day safari trip which included an afternoon safari the first day, a full day safari the 2nd day, and a morning safari the 3rd day. The lodge where we stayed was very clean with modern and convenient accommodations, including WIFI and breakfast. The guides are well trained and very knowledgeable about all animals we came across during our trip, and were also very courteous, polite and easy to engage in conversation. They made our safari trip exciting but safe! I would highly recommend this safari tour agency. Christos Patriotis

I had an amazing trip. It was more than I could have expected. I got to see everything I wished to see while I was abroad. All the guides were lovely and provided me with excellent knowledge on their cities/tours. Especially in China where it was their holiday week and they all took time away from their families to make me around their cities. The tour company in Japan made sure I got to every tour destination and knew what the plan was for each day. This is the second time I have used Goway for traveling and it has exceeded my expectations. katieahotmail.com
