CONTACT US ABOUT THIS TRIPYour Signature Luxury Journey begins with a stay in Buenos Aires.
Explore Recoleta on foot and go off the beaten path. You will be introduced to the history, architecture, traditions, and unique features of this historic Buenos Aires neighborhood. Visit Recoleta Cemetery and hear fascinating tales about Evita Perón, the misfortune of Rufina Cambaceres, Tiburcia Dominquez’s miserly husband, and Admiral Brown. Stop by Pilar Basilica to admire its stunning architecture, then learn about the history of Recoleta Cemetery itself at the Recoleta Cultural Center and Old Monastery.
Visit El Ateneo which is as splendid as its name and exudes Buenos Aires’ nostalgic elegance. See Bourdelle’s Monument to Alvear, then continue to the Palais de Glace, where the Argentine tango came of age. Learn about the history of tango before visiting the BA Design Center and Terraces, the National Library, and the National Fine Arts Museum.
The city combines the atmosphere of an old European town with the features of a Latin American capitol. Acquire a deep understanding of its characteristics, its history, its architecture, its culture, and its best stories. See the Metropolitan Cathedral, Palace of Congress, Plaza de Mayo, and Casa Rosada (Pink House). It was from the balcony here that Eva Perón famously addressed the throngs of impassioned supporters packed into the plaza.
Enjoy the magical atmosphere of historic La Boca, the first Buenos Aires port and now a neighborhood with a unique beat, colorful, overlaid façades, and the artsy Caminito. This street is among the most famous in the country. Go off the beaten track to see the coolest street and graffiti art that provide a visually stunning introduction to the vibrant world of urban art in Buenos Aires and its compelling history. The route will introduce you to artworks of many different artists and will give insight on how the scene is evolving in different spaces and in local urban art galleries.
Head to Teatro Colón, one of the most important opera houses in the world due to its acoustic excellence and beautiful architecture and enjoy a guided visit.
Café Tortini makes for a great stop, where you can enjoy lunch on your own. This quintessential Porteño café was founded in 1858 and has remained the meeting place for famous artists and scholars throughout its 154 years. High profile visitors include Albert Einstein and Carlos Gardel, a French Argentine singer, songwriter, composer and actor, and the most prominent figure in the history of tango.
Head out for an immersive foodie experience in one of Buenos Aire’s most traditional neighborhoods.
San Telmo is characterized by cafes and restaurants, tango parlors, art galleries and antique shops lining its old cobbled streets and is a must-visit for anybody coming to Argentina. San Telmo is a hive of activity and it is alive with musicians and street performers dancing tango at all hours of the day. Enjoy a culinary journey as you visit enchanting gems of small coffee houses and food parlors that serve some of the most delicious food. Learn about local cuisine and culture as you wander from one establishment to another sampling local favorites, including fabulous Malbec wine and delicious empanadas.
Enjoy a stylish tango experience! Rojo Tango is one of the city’s best tango escapes. For all its diversity, the elusive spirit of Argentina as a country is present everywhere in Buenos Aires. The national dance, the tango, is perhaps the best expression of that spirit — practiced in dance halls, parks, open plazas, and ballrooms. It is a dance of intimate separation and common rhythm, combining both an elegant reserve and an exuberant passion. The Rojo Tango show promises passion, madness and glamor expressed through the beauty and history of tango.
Fly to Cordoba and proceed to Santa Catalina to start your 3-night culture and nature exploration with Estancia El Colibri.
With the Sierras de Córdoba in the background, the Estancia El Colibri – a member of Relais & Châteaux – synthesizes the Argentinean dream of Stéphanie and Raoul Fenestraz. This charming hotel is primarily inspired by the Argentinean estancias of the beginning of the prior century, but the call of the great outdoors is omnipresent. Horseback riding, polo lessons, birding, trekking, biking, or lazing by the pool precede delicious culinary experiences, with the asado – the renowned Argentinean barbecue – as a final flourish.
Enjoy visits and tastings at the most boutique and personalized wineries in the area. Horseback through vineyards or choose from other adventures such as hiking, biking, zip lining and white water rafting.
Cavas Wine Lodge is the first Lodge of its kind in South America, blessed by the natural beauty of Mendoza, an idyllic wine growing region at the foot of the Andes. The lodge is one of the most luxurious accommodations from which to explore the Argentinean wine region.
Iguazú Falls are often heralded as the most beautiful falls in the world. The unbelievable and spectacular falls are a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site. Upon seeing Iguazú for the first time, first Lady Eleanor Roosevelt reportedly exclaimed “Poor Niagara!” Vastly larger than North America’s Niagara Falls, the Iguazu Falls are made up of 275 separate cataracts that stretch for 2.5 miles, plunging 269 feet into the Iguassu River.
Awasi brings you the Iguazú Falls as you have never experienced them. Located just 15 minutes from the world’s largest waterfalls and situated on the banks of the River Iguazú, each villa will be assigned with a private guide and a four-wheel drive, allowing guests to explore at their own pace, visiting where they want, when they want, and for however long they want.
Choose between private full-day excursions or two half-day excursions that best suit your interests. Excursions include: visits to the Argentine and Brazilian side of the falls; explorations to the Atlantic rainforest; Guarani tribal village; Bird Park; or an excursion to see the 18th century Jesuit ruins.
Fly to Buenos Aires, proceed to your departure flight from Argentina.
