Family trip through northern Argentina

The Salta area at the foot of the Andes is one of the most spectacular areas of Argentina. The pleasant city of Salta is an absolute jewel of ancient Argentina. Marvel also at the diverse landscapes north and south of the city, with remarkable rock formations and spectacular gorges. Visit the famous wine regions of Cafayate where the white Torrontès wines come from and be surprised by the high plains with colonial towns where time seems to have stood still. A short flight takes you to the tropical north where you can admire the mighty waterfalls of Iguazú . A visit to the wildlife paradise of the Iberá wetlands will conclude your trip.

Tips & Tops Round Trip Extremes of Northern Argentina:

  • The combination of nature, action and relaxation makes this trip great for a summer vacation with children ages 8 and up.
  • Experience Buenos Aires the way it was meant to be experienced! With special architecture excursions, culinary workshops, tango lessons, visits to milongas (authentic dance spots) and special city tours (possibly by bicycle) for children.
  • If you want to extend your round trip by rental car, you can continue from Salta to Mendoza along the flanks of the Andes through National Park Ischigualasto (Valley of the Moon) and National Park Talampaya (red mountains), see also by-rental-car-over-ruta-40.
  • The Salta area also combines well with the Atacama Desert in Chile and the salt flats in Bolivia. Be inspired by our trip Chile, Argentina and Bolivia; desert, high peaks and good wine.
  • Are you interested in Andean gastronomy and the excellent (white) wines around Cafayate? We can organize culinary workshops for you, reserve the most exquisite gastronomic spots for you and recommend a stay in one of the beautiful wineries. Take a look at our trip The North Deluxe for inspiration
  • Touch of adventure? Sail under the immense Iguazu Falls by zodiac, spectacular!
  • Combine Argentina with Brazil, highly recommended in our summer months! Tango and Samba is also suitable as a family trip.
