CONTACT US ABOUT THIS TRIPYour Luxury Wildlife Journey begins 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’s 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.
Head off the beaten track on a unique biking tour that takes you pedaling through the hidden southern neighborhoods of Buenos Aires to find the city’s most impressive street art. Far more than urban art, this tour also examines the cutting-edge design district, vibrant neighborhoods and contextualizing it all with historical and cultural background. Riding through La Boca will get you familiar with different graffiti styles, and witness examples of elaborate urban art along the way by artist collectives such as Red Sudakas and Triangulo Dorado. Back on our bikes, we venture towards Barracas, where we can marvel at the elaborate mosaic walls in Pasaje Lanin, and later let our eyes wander along the mural depicting the meeting of Styles Street Art Convention which represents several collaborations between artists. Admire works by other artists, including Pol Corona, Mart, Pum, Martin Ron, and many more.
Península Valdés is a Patagonian nature reserve on the coast of Argentina. The Estancia Rincón Chico is an exclusive property located in the southeast corner of the Península Valdés with 16 kilometers of coastline along the Patagonian Sea. This is one of the richest marine areas on Earth, harboring populations of right whales, elephant seals, sea lions, orcas, dolphins, penguins, and numerous species of birds and fish. For this reason, the site was declared “World Heritage Site” in 1999 and “Biosphere Reserve” in 2014 by UNESCO.
Enjoy wildlife watching explorations, guided by bilingual biologists and naturalists, located right on the various beaches on the property. Enjoy off-the-beaten-path hiking trails of varying length and difficulty that wind across the steppe and cliffs. These trails lead to superb wildlife viewing spots and opportunities to enjoy horseback riding, mountain biking, interpretation of native flora, bird watching, visits to the ex-livestock facilities of the property, and walks in the dunes fields.
En route to Puerto Madryn make a stop in Puerto Piramides. Embark on a boat ride for a fascinating opportunity to get up close encounters with southern right whales.
