Buenos Aires-Argentina
A city that has everything, Buenos Aires invites you to be part of it. Our Visit Pack will give you the chance to see the most important tourist places (such as Plaza de Mayo, Casa Rosada and the Congress), and to feel the magic of Tango, in the places that saw its development, and, if you wish, to learn how to dance it.

PANORAMIC CITY TOUR

This tour transmits the excitement of a Buenos Aires full of things to do. We will see our city symbol: the Obelisco (Obelisk), and we will visit the most important squares (Plaza de Mayo, Plaza San Martín, Plaza Alvear, Plaza del Congreso), and avenues (Av. Corrientes, Av. de Mayo, Av. 9 de Julio, among others). We will not only see historic neighborhoods like La Boca, San Telmo, but also fancy ones, like Palermo and Recoleta.

We will also visit Puerto Madero, the parks known as Lezama and Tres de Febrero, as well as the Ecologic Reserve, commercial and financial areas and, at last but not least, football stadiums.

Departures SPANISH/ENGLISH: daily at 8:50 am and 1:50 pm. Returns: 12:45 am and 5:45 pm
Departures Italian: Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays at 1:50 pm. Return: 5:45 pm.
Departures French: Thursdays and Saturdays at 1:50 pm. Return: 5:45 pm.
GRAN FIESTA GAUCHA

San Antonio de Areco’s buildings show a typical colonial architectonic style. Along its streets, we will find the farmer’s daily life, with gauchos and with the kind quietness of the town. This is why Areco is the source of Argentine tradition. We will visit the Gauchesco Museum Ricardo Güiraldes (except on Tuesdays), eat a traditional asados (barbecues) in an estancia and enjoy some typical activities of the Argentine gaucho: dances, games and folkloric abilities. We will return to Buenos Aires during the afternoon, after tasting some homemade pastelitos (small sweet fried pies).

Departures: Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays at 9 am.
Return: 6 pm.

Villa La Angostura-Patagonia
Surrounded by lakes and woods, Villa La Angostura is an extraordinary landscape that combines with the warmth and beauty of the mountain architecture. Our Visit Pack allows you to know this city and Villa Traful, where you will be able to appreciate striking views of the Patagonic lakes and their mountainous frame, still as a peaceful postcard.

This beautiful mountain city is located in the south of the province of Neuquén, right in the Nahuel Huapi National Park. Here is the entrance to the Arrayanes National Park, the only place in the world where you will find a pure myrtles wood, in its arboreal form.
It is a place of captivating beauty, with plenty of places barely touched by men, that let you enjoy the tranquility and silence.
This city has a perfect location for the lovers of sporting fishing, skiing, and adventure tourism: with the possibility of taking part in activities such as trekking, mountaineering, mountain byke, kayac, etc. The strategic location of this village and its refined tourist infrastructure as regards lodging and gastronomy turns La Angostura, into a dreamy place.
VILLA TRAFUL

Villa Traful is sixty three kilometers away down Seven Lakes’ Road. Near the town, we get to Puerto Arrayán that has an amazing beach. Along Lake Traful, we will pass by charming streams, until we get to the villa, where we will have time to have something to eat and drink. Then, we will visit the lookout point known as Pared del Viento (the wind wall), from where we can see this beautiful lake. Further on, we will arrive at Confluencia, place where Limay and Traful rivers used to meet. We will also visit Valle Encantado and the Amphitheater, where we can see varied rock formations, caused by wind erosion. On our way back to Villa La Angostura, we will drive along National route 237, bordering Limay River, in order to take route 231.

From the hotel, we have to cross the town (called El Cruce) towards Seven Lakes’ road. We keep driving to cross Río Correntoso Bridge, and border the wild and beautiful north bank of Ultima Esperanza River. We will stop at a natural lookout point to admire Lake Espejo. We go back to El Cruce, in order to take the road that will lead us to Laguna Verde, where we will find the Municipal Reserve Selva Triste, surrounded by a shady forest composed of coigues, arrayanes, radales and other species. The emerald green water is home to many schools of puyenes, Patagonic pejerreyes and aquatic birds. We will then stop at La Asunción Chapel, designed by Alejandro Bustillo and built in 1936 with rocks and logs. It is one of the first four constructions in commemoration of Nahuel Huapi National Park creation. Our tour continuous at “El Messidor” residence and the port area, where we will see from the sandy cost line the dazzling spot that forms Isla Victoria, Bahias Mansa, Brava, Cumelen and Craft, and the imposing Quetrihue Peninsula.
We will leave the hotel towards Villa La Angostura. On our way, we will see both bays with its docks, and Itsmo Quetrihue, the entrance to Arrayanes National Park.

Then we drive along Seven Lakes’ Road and we cross the shortest river in the world: river Correntoso, and we keep bordering the beautiful north shore of Lake Nahuel Huapi and its branch Ultima Esperanza. Driving along Seven Lakes’ road, we will find the unique landscape of Lakes Espejo and Correntoso, arriving at Ruca Malen River the water takes an intense emerald color. We will get to Quintupuray, a unique place for its beauty and location: over the shore of Lake Correntoso. We will have enough time to enjoy the landscape, the varied activities practiced during the different seasons and a typical snack with products made by the Quintupurays.
