Active Argentina Adventure Tours: Biking and Hiking in Patagonia, the Lake District and more!

Everything seems larger than life on an Argentina Adventure Tour.

Spreading across the Andes in Argentina’s Patagonia region is a continental ice cap so big that it is called the “third pole.” Forty-seven major glaciers start here, such as Perito Moreno, one of the world’s few that are still advancing. This rugged, groaning wall is almost a hundred square miles thick and more than two hundred feet high. Visit Argentina, and you’ll be able to feel one of the largest and most active glaciers in the world under your cramponed feet as you explore Perito Moreno’s surface.

Another Argentina attraction in Patagonia is the La Leona Petrified Forest, where trees that once watched dinosaurs roam will tower far above your wanderings. Or take a photogenic hike to the base of the stunning massif Monte Fitz Roy, which beckons world-class climbers. Watch as its sheer granite face changes color with every nuance of light. To experience the gaucho lifestyle on your Argentina tour, ride the pampas on strong horses in the shadow of knife-edged peaks and shimmering glacial lakes. Learn to sip yerba mate, the local beverage, like Patagonian cowboys.

Arrive on the shores of the Quetrihué Peninsula, and you’ll stand among arrayán trees that are more than three hundred years old. Embark on an epic bike journey through Argentina’s national parks — such as Los Arrayanes National Park and Lanín National Park — and pedal amid emerald lakes and snow-covered mountains. Meet the challenge of a ten-thousand-foot pass as you bike up to the arid Andean altiplano, studded with giant candelabra-like cacti.

Or spend your Argentina adventure tour time immersing your senses in the passion and drama of tango performances and sampling the extraordinary wines of the Cafayate Valley. Digest Argentine history at the picturesque San Antonio de Areco, a town where gaucho traditions dating from the eighteenth century are still in practice, and colonial Salta, founded in 1582.

Argentina is life at its largest. You’ll feel awed to be even a small part of things here, which is very big for a world traveler.
