The Best of Argentina

17-day rail and flight journey across Argentina's landscapes

Railbookers operates this 17-day, 16-night independent rail package that travels through Argentina, starting and ending in Buenos Aires while also visiting Puerto Madryn, Ushuaia, El Calafate, Iguazu Falls, Salta, Purmamarca, and Cafayate. The trip combines flights, private transfers, and train journeys, with the historic Train to the Clouds in Salta named as its specific rail experience. Along the route, the itinerary takes in the wildlife-rich shores of Puerto Madryn, the remote landscape of Ushuaia at the southern tip of the continent, and the glaciers of El Calafate, as well as Iguazu Falls. As an independent package, travelers move between the pre-booked flights, transfers, and train segments rather than following a tour guide. It suits travelers who want a long, wide-ranging look at Argentina and are comfortable with a trip that mixes flying with its train journeys.

What to know before you look closer

  • Railbookers describes this trip as combining flights, private transfers, and train journeys; the only specific rail experience named in the evidence is the Train to the Clouds in Salta, so much of the distance between stops such as Ushuaia and El Calafate is likely covered by flights rather than rail.
  • The operator publishes no day-by-day itinerary for this package, and the destination list shows Buenos Aires visited three separate times without saying how many nights are spent at each stop; confirm the full schedule before booking.
  • The evidence lists no current departure dates for this package.
