COME FLY WITH ME ARGENTINA From mighty Iguazu falls in the north to the creeping advance of the majestic Perito Moreno Glacier in the south, Argentina is a vast natural wonderland.

On this trip we will explore these natural marvels, visit Buenos Aires, the Paris of the south, play the best golf in the land, drink the famous Argentinean wines, take in the Tango, travel the famous “Seven Lakes Route� of Bariloche, sail the lakes and walk the glaciers of Los Glaciares National Park and marvel at the beauty of Torres del Paine National Park in Chile.

Consider this: The Iguazu Falls are considered one of the 'wonders of the world'.

According to Lonely Planet arriving in Buenos Aires is like 'jumping aboard a moving train' The Tango is possibly Argentina's greatest contribution to the outside world, a steamy dance that's been described as 'making love in a vertical position' All Argentine Presidents have been members of the Jockey Golf Club Los Glaciares National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site, deriving its name from over 47 major glaciers.
