Argentina Safari Vacations - Natural World Safaris

The largest of the countries in the Southern Cone, South America’s most prosperous region, Argentina has a strong cultural identity and personality. The breathtaking landscapes range from the Andes mountains to the Pampas plains, from the Iguazu Falls to the glaciers in the south offer the perfect backdrop for your Argentina safari holiday. Argentina’s diversity of geography means that your safari experience is perhaps more disjointed in a sense than in some parts of the world, but we believe that variation is all part of the adventure. You may be meandering through the waterways of Iberá looking for caiman one day, and a couple of days later find yourself crunching in crampons across the ice of an ancient glacier or exploring tropical rainforests.

How Much Does Argentina Cost?

For a 8-day safari, expect to budget around $6,000 per person. This will typically include private transfers, first class accommodation with most meals, and a range of private and shared wildlife excursions. For a comprehensive 20-day trip exploring the north and south of the country, staying at several higher-end properties, expect to budget around $14,000 per person.

Where to Stay in Argentina?

True elegance in accommodation is not difficult to find in Argentina, whether it’s Italian-influenced colonial splendour or cutting-edge boutique design. European influence can also be felt in the wilder reaches of the country, with Alpine-type structures standing proud among snow-capped Andean mountains. Across the Pampas, and in the heart of Patagonia, the estancia is king, as befits this land of ranching pioneers. These vary in style from luxuriously genteel homes to traditional wooden homesteads full of sheep skins, but invariably you will find a sense of warmth and friendship.

When to Go to Argentina?

The spring and summer months, October through to March, are the warmest and most accessible for visiting Patagonia, while the Atlantic Ocean means that winter makes coastal Patagonia too bleak to be appealing. The best time here is spring, September to November, when penguins are nesting, whales are calving and elephant seals are giving birth. Read more about when to go to Argentina.
