Honeymoon in Argentina
Honeymoon trips are not just any other trip, for they celebrate the beginning of a new stage in life: the formalization of a life together. And, like every unique and memorable experience, this deserves a top destination. Argentina and the options of this program will surely cater for that.
Cosmopolitan and magical Buenos Aires, a unique city in Latin America, is the starting point of this trip. Each of the other destinations is planned to enhance the romanticism: Ushuaia, the “end of the world’s” city – in the southernmost tip of the American continent – is followed by the breathtaking Perito Moreno Glacier in Los Glaciares National Park, in Patagonia. The wine and the gourmet cuisine in Mendoza are part of the paradise at the foothills of the Andes, which herald the marvelous and lush Iguazú Falls, in the heart of the subtropical rainforest.
