Why Argentina
Argentina is the most diverse and exciting country in South America from the indigenous culture of the North West to the sub-tropical region of Iguassu Falls and the magic of unforgettable Patagonia! All of this combined with Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina which is South America's most sophisticated, stylish and elegant city.
This cosmopolitan capital with European refinement has wide avenues, glorious buildings and spectacular monuments. It is truly a jewel in the kaleidoscope of contrasting cities that make up this vast continent. Buenos Aires has fabulous shopping, superb food, great wines as well as a colurful history and rich cultue.
Get to know Buenos Aires through its various themes:
A two hour flight from Buenos Aires is Iguazu Falls. Home to abundant wildlife and flora, near the town of Misionesis the renowned Iguazu Falls. Adjacent to the border of Brazil and Paraguay this magnificent natural wonder is a highlight of any visit to the South American continent. Trails, stairways, bridges and catwalks make it possible to admire the Falls an imposing 2700 metres wide (shaped like a horseshoe) and over 275 inlets and waterfalls located in the heart of the Iguazu National Park.

Uruguay / Colonia
A quick 45 minutes by fast hydrofoil across the rive Plate you will find Colonia which has a truly different culture and rhythm to Buenos Aires.
World Heritage listed by UNESCO, Colonia del Sacramento was founded by the Portuguese in the 17thCentury. The old village in the Centre of town remains untouched from the time of the Portuguese. With its church, its coble stone roads, the ruins of its once surrounding wall, its small, local bars, where local people like to spend their afternoon. Colonia is a step back in time.
Urguay was in the 1950's a sophisticated nation. It shared the world football stage with its larger neighbour, Argentina and the legendary Carlos Gardel, the creator of the evocative tango, was a native of its capital city, Montevideo.
Experience Colonia with a full day or an overnight stay at the Four Seasons Carmelo Resort.
