About this trip
Ten days across Chile and Argentina, moving from the Pacific coast to the Andes and on to Buenos Aires. You get a proper mix of city, mountain and pampas along the way.
Start in the hillside port city of Valparaíso, then head south to Pucón for a dose of adventure sport in the shadow of its volcano. Cross into Argentina at lakeside Bariloche, with a stop at a working gaucho ranch, before finishing in the energy of Buenos Aires.
It's a guided small-group trip rated easy, with private rooms throughout, so you're not roughing it between the landscapes and cities.

Worth it if you get a strong CEO and tolerate variable accommodation standards. Think twice if you need reliable English-language support or pristine hotels.
- CEO Valentina transformed the trip—horseback ranch days, local wine bars, and curated experiences made it genuinely memorable.
- Group chemistry from day one and mix of cities (Valparaiso, Buenos Aires) with wild landscapes (Pucon, Bariloche) felt well-balanced.
- Hotel standards inconsistent: mold reported, filthy public buses, and 12-hour overland stretches without proper creature comforts.
- Language barrier real—Santiago museum tour in Spanish only, CEO unavailable. Last 16 hours of trip had no guide support in worst case.
