Argentina

Argentina unfolded as a land of dramatic contrasts, stretching from windswept Patagonian peaks to subtropical jungle. In the south, we based ourselves in El Chaltén, the hiking capital of Patagonia, where jagged granite spires dominated the skyline. We spent our days exploring its iconic trails and circuits, trekking beneath Mount Fitz Roy as shifting clouds and light transformed the landscape hour by hour.

Nearby in El Calafate, the scenery turned icy and immense. We stood before vast glaciers, their towering blue walls creaking and cracking as they slowly advanced. Watching massive chunks of ice calve into the water below was a humbling reminder of the scale and power of Patagonia’s frozen wilderness.

From the far south, we traveled north to the energy and elegance of Buenos Aires. The rhythm of tango filled the streets, and café-lined avenues pulsed with life before we continued on to one of the continent’s greatest natural wonders. At Iguazú Falls, roaring cascades thundered through dense jungle, sending mist high into the air as hundreds of waterfalls plunged into the river below.

Argentina captivated us at every latitude, blending raw nature, vibrant culture, and unforgettable landscapes into a journey that spanned an entire continent.
