Drive through white-washed villages, cacti-scattered plains and rainbow coloured hills on a road trip across Argentina’s altiplano, staying in friendly local refugios. It’s a beautiful and varied road trip into a wilderness peppered with salt lakes, Inca ruins and traditional clay houses. You’ll spend three days exploring the remote pockets of the high plains, filled with Inca folklore and fascinating scenery. Explore rocky isolated canyons, hike to the surreal Seven Coloured Hills, meet the locals and cross the Tropic of Capricorns, all with the freedom of your own four wheels. It’s a real outback adventure.

Drive through rusty rock canyons, cycle between sun-kissed grapevines, gaze up at giant cacti and drink a drop (or two) of local wine in the altiplano. Staying in traditional posadas, you’ll explore vineyards, tucked-away villages and surreal valleys with rocks that shift colours in the sunshine. This is a three-day road trip that will take you through the beautiful and bizarre scenery of Argentina’s high plains, scattered with mammoth cacti, tiny communities and remote canyons surrounded with striped rocks. You’ll make your way by road to lively Cafayate, known for its local wines and bodegas, where you’ll hop on a bike and cycle from vineyard to vineyard.

Feel the spray of roaring Iguazu Falls, make a brief hop over the the Brazilian side and explore to the surrounding rainforest, where raccoon-like coatis play. A cluster of hun-dreds of cascades set within the UNESCO World Heritage National Park, Iguazu Falls will leave you deafened and utterly speechless. This is a tropical getaway into a world of frothy waterfalls criss-crossed by rainbows in Argentina’s rainforest. It’s somewhere marked with a touch of magic. You’ll visit both the Argentinean and Brazilian side of the Falls and get a close up encounter with the local coatis – small raccoon-like creatures.
