What people love about Active Tours in Argentina
Female traveling alone from Salta>Ushuaia. All but 2 hostels (Ushuaia, Mendoza) were excellent, all the buses were incredibly comfortable (considering all night and long), and all the day tours were wonderful. I utterly enjoyed the trip. The help that I received from the tour company was great and they were very accommodating. I can only recommend this tour.

What our customers ask about Adventure Tours & Trips in Argentina
When is the best time to go on an Adventure tour in Argentina?
Argentina's adventure seasons differ across its regions. Patagonia's prime time runs from October to March with temperatures reaching 68°F (20°C), perfect for exploring El Calafate and El Chalten. The northern regions of Salta and Iguazu Falls are best visited from April to November when rainfall is minimal. Lake District adventures in Bariloche shine from December to March. Recent travelers report excellent conditions during these periods with one noting "the kayaking at Lake Gutierrez was a highlight with pristine glacial waters and wooded coastline."
What are the must-see adventure highlights in Argentina?
Argentina's landscape offers distinct adventure zones. The Perito Moreno Glacier welcomes trekkers in El Calafate while Mount Fitz Roy presents challenging trails in El Chalten. Nahuel Huapi Lake draws kayakers to Bariloche and Iguazu Falls combines boat rides with jungle exploration. The Salta region features rugged off-road routes. A recent visitor noted: "The highlight was definitely the mini-trekking on Perito Moreno Glacier - walking on ancient ice with professional guides was an unforgettable experience." Los Acebos in Ushuaia provides convenient access to many of these locations.
What wildlife might I encounter during Adventure tours in Argentina?
Each region of Argentina presents unique wildlife viewing opportunities. Patagonia's plains reveal guanacos Andean condors and flamingos while Iguazu's rainforest houses toucans coatis and numerous bird species. A traveler's account from Tierra del Fuego shares: "We saw Magellanic penguins fur seals and even spotted whales during our boat ride through the Beagle Channel." The Amerian Portal Del Iguazu Hotel positions visitors well for wildlife observation.
How many days should I plan for an Adventure tour in Argentina?
Tour lengths vary based on location and activities. Most travelers choose 5-12 day itineraries to explore multiple regions. The North Argentina Adventure takes 16 nights covering Buenos Aires Iguazu Falls and Salta. Mendoza's adventure circuit needs 5 days for rafting hiking and wine country exploration. Quick 4-day adventures focus on single regions like Buenos Aires or Salta. Guest feedback suggests: "The 12-day Classic Argentina tour was perfect to experience both cultural highlights and adventure activities."
What unique adventures are available in northern Argentina?
Northern Argentina specializes in distinctive experiences. The region features 4x4 tours through Salta's valleys treks in Quebrada de Humahuaca and explorations of Salinas Grandes salt flats. Traditional estancias offer horseback riding opportunities. A recent visitor shared: "The self-drive adventure through Salta's landscapes was incredible especially the journey to Hornocal Hills though you need to be careful on dirt roads." Hotel Munay in Humahuaca serves as a convenient base for northern excursions.
What fitness level is required for Argentina Adventure tours?
Activities in Argentina suit various fitness levels. While Perito Moreno Glacier walks need moderate stamina Mount Plata climbs demand extensive preparation and altitude experience. A senior traveler reported: "The Terra del Fuego hike could have been more strenuous - I am an avid hiker even at 70 years of age and found it quite manageable." Most tours expect participants to handle 4-6 hours of daily walking on diverse terrain.
