Important: Buenos Aires is a vibrant and welcoming city, and like in any major urban area, we encourage you to stay aware of your surroundings and take basic precautions. Avoid walking alone late at night, keep your valuables secure, and try not to wear flashy jewelry or visibly carry expensive items—just as you would in any big city.
We know that a lot of you are traveling far to get to our celebration, and that you might want to extend your trip to get to know other places. For most of these places, you will need to consider an extra flight (Argentina is a big country!) and the airport you will be looking at for convenient domestic travel is Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP).
Here's a list to get you inspired! Please reach out with any questions.
Patagonia
A vast and awe-inspiring region in southern Argentina, Patagonia offers everything from glaciers and mountains to alpine lakes and lush forests. In the south, El Calafate is home to the iconic Perito Moreno Glacier, while nearby El Chaltén is a hiker’s paradise with trails to Mount Fitz Roy and dramatic Patagonian scenery. Further north, Bariloche sits on the shores of Lake Nahuel Huapi and feels like a mix between Switzerland and Argentina, with its alpine architecture, chocolate shops, and scenic drives like the Circuito Chico. This Lake District region is perfect for kayaking, fly fishing, hiking, and relaxing in cozy lodges with breathtaking views of the Andes.
Mendoza
Set against the backdrop of the Andes, Mendoza is Argentina’s wine capital and a dream destination for food, wine, and nature lovers. The region is known for its world-class Malbec and stunning vineyard landscapes. You can tour renowned wineries like Catena Zapata, Bodega Salentein, and the award-winning Zuccardi Valle de Uco, which has been named the best vineyard in the world multiple times. Enjoy wine tastings with mountain views, dine at top winery restaurants, or bike between vineyards in Luján de Cuyo and Valle de Uco. For the more adventurous, the area also offers rafting, horseback riding, and even visits to Aconcagua Provincial Park, home to the highest peak in the Americas.
Iguazú
Straddling the border of Argentina and Brazil, Iguazú Falls is one of the most spectacular natural wonders in the world, with over 250 waterfalls surrounded by subtropical rainforest. On the Argentine side, walk along the Devil’s Throat walkway for a powerful up-close experience, or take a boat ride beneath the falls for a thrilling splash. The nearby Iguazú National Park is also home to toucans, monkeys, and lush jungle trails, making it a favorite for nature lovers.
Salta & the Northwest
The northwestern region of Argentina is rich in culture, history, and stunning desert scenery. In Salta, stroll through colonial-era streets, visit the MAAM museum (home to the famous Inca child mummies), or take in panoramic views from Cerro San Bernardo. From there, explore the Quebrada de Humahuaca, a UNESCO-listed valley known for its rainbow-colored hills like Purmamarca’s Cerro de los Siete Colores. You can also drive through the surreal Salinas Grandes salt flats or try traditional empanadas and Andean wines in the charming town of Cafayate.
