Essential Argentina

Independent Argentina package: Buenos Aires, El Calafate, Iguazu Falls, Mendoza

Railbookers operates Essential Argentina, a 13-day, 12-night independent package based in Buenos Aires with excursions to El Calafate, Iguazu Falls and Mendoza. The trip covers Argentina's cosmopolitan capital, the glaciers around El Calafate, Iguazu Falls's natural wonders, and the vineyards of Mendoza wine country, using a mix of train travel, flights and private transfers rather than rail alone given the distances involved. As an independent package, Railbookers arranges the transport and travelers set their own schedule between stops rather than following a guided group leader. The operator has not published a day-by-day itinerary, so specific overnight stays and included activities are best confirmed directly with Railbookers. It suits independent travelers drawn to Argentina's mix of city life, glacier scenery, and wine country, who do not need a fixed group schedule.
