8-Day Introduction to the Sumptuous Flavors of Argentinian Food and Wine

Our family had a fantastic trip to Argentina, traveling from Buenos Aires to Patagonia to Iguazú Falls. Zicasso’s travel specialist did a great job making the trip seamless and easy for us—from making itinerary suggestions, as we shared our hopes for the trip, to finding us tour guides for our private tours, to making dinner reservations when we had difficulty reaching a restaurant. He ensured reliable transportation for us from place to place and was always available if we had a question or issue.

I would highly recommend Argentina and our travel specialist for anyone who has a love of travel and hasn’t visited Argentina yet.

Our trip was fabulous. Based on my general input of where we wanted to go and our time frames, Zicasso’s travel specialist crafted an itinerary that we thoroughly enjoyed.

The boutique hotels he arranged for us in Iguazú, Buenos Aires, El Chalten, Calafate, Puerto Natales, and Santiago were very nice and in walkable areas, with many nearby restaurants and stores.

The transfers to and from airports to hotels made us feel like VIPs, especially the first-class van ride from Calafate to Puerto Natales. Guides all had good command of English and were very knowledgeable and helpful, particularly in helping us get through immigration as we travelled between countries. A special shout-out to our guide in Buenos Aires and our guide in Santiago for going above and beyond.

Before, during, and after our three weeks in South America, our travel specialist stayed in touch via WhatsApp. He even met with us twice in person during the time we were in Buenos Aires. I highly recommend the tour company.

We enjoyed the trip very much. We had planned to visit every place of interest to us in Patagonia on this trip, so it was quite a complex trip to arrange. Zicasso’s travel specialist did a great job overall. We had private guides and private cars for everything, so we could enjoy the experiences at our own pace and focus on the things that interested us.

We started in Buenos Aires, but our main focus was natural beauty. We spent a very interesting day and a half in the city, though. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the local history and the sites we visited. Next we went to Iguazú Falls, which was a spectacular experience. Our guide there was the only one who didn't seem as deep or as organized as all the others, but that was a minor issue. Although it is wickedly expensive, I would highly recommend that travelers stay in the one and only lodge inside the Iguazú Falls national park. We got a lot more out of our time there because we were right there at the park.

Next we went to the Lake District and spent memorable days on the water there; amazing scenery! We also saw condors during one of our day-long boat rides on the lake.

Next, we went to Calafate. Although we are not trekkers, the visits to the two main glaciers were unforgettable. The travel specialist had us in the VIP cabin for the day-long boat trip and we had a very knowledgeable guide for the visit to the Perito Moreno glacier.

We did the four-day cruise through Tierra del Fuego next, which I highly recommend, ending in Chile, where we spent two days at the Torres del Paine National Park, one by road in the park with a very knowledgeable private guide, and the second on a full-day lake tour with a marvelous lunch at a scenic ranch, with a close-up view to a glacier.

Zicasso’s travel specialist did an excellent job planning our vacation. Every detail was taken care of, down to airport transfers with English-speaking drivers.

The excursions we were on were in quality locations, with meaning and historical significance. We had a little bit of downtime to explore Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro.

Overall, we are really happy visiting Argentina and Brazil, and satisfied that he planned our vacation.

My trip to Argentina was exceptional, thanks to Zicasso putting me in touch with the travel specialists. The planning, organizing, and execution of each day was delightful, and the service was impeccable. I intend to seek out the guidance of Zicasso in future global adventures. I am most appreciative of this glorious vacation in Argentina.

Another great Zicasso trip! The travel company was fantastic and the travel agent was equally so.
