Real Stories of Unforgettable Adventures

Journey stories from those who embraced the adventure of exploring Argentina and Chile.

My partner and I contacted Argentina On The Go to organize our 16 day trip to Patagonia, and it was our first time using a travel agency. Fabrizio planned everything perfectly according to our wishes and was always responsive to our needs and questions. We had a smooth, stress-free trip with everything going exactly as planned. We especially appreciated our destination host, Luciana, who checked in with us during the journey.

AOTG organized a wonderful two week tour for my wife and I of Mendoza, Salta and Iguacu Falls, with a special focus on wine. It couldn't have been better. Camila planned the perfect itinerary, and Luciana, the 'destination hostess,' quickly solved the problem of the road closure due to a mud slide near Salta. Recommended without reservations.

The trip was fantastic and exceeded our expectations. One of the things I appreciated most was the presence of the destination host: knowing that I could count on a person to contact at any time during the trip was truly reassuring. It is a service that makes a difference, because it allows you to experience the trip with greater peace of mind and to have immediate support in case of doubts or needs. An added value that I highly recommend!

Argentina On The Go organized a 12-day tour for us through Buenos Aires, Calafate, and Iguazú, and we were truly delighted with the experience. The service was very close and pleasant, and everything was attended to in detail by Lucía and Filomena.

Camilia our scheduler was fantastic! Quick follow up, great suggestions, answered every question, held your hand every step of the way. Would make changes where you wanted. Bariloche was wonderful for hiking, exploring, mountains and water. El Calafate the glaciers were highlight of the trip. Amazing. The Iquau falls were spectacular. Must go Brazilian side awesome on that side. Salta even more amazing. The 7 colored rocks and 14 colored rocks at Humahuaca in the Jujuy Province was breathtaking.
