Argentina

A land of passion, flavour, and awe-inspiring landscapes


Salt flats, steak and soul-stirring moments

From the sultry tango halls of Buenos Aires to the towering glaciers of Patagonia, Argentina is a country of dramatic contrasts.

One minute you’re feasting on sizzling steaks and sipping world-class malbecs in stylish city restaurants; the next, you’re standing spellbound before the thundering beauty of Iguazú Falls, where nature calls the shots in spectacular style.

Stand in awe of the vast salt flats of Jujuy Province, sip and swirl your way through the vineyards of Cafayate, hit the open road along legendary Route 40, or saddle up with gauchos across the sprawling pampas. And if you’re a football fan? Time your visit for a local match – the atmosphere is electric, spine-tingling, unforgettable.

Whether it’s the culture, cuisine or cinematic scenery that’s calling you, every moment in Argentina is wrapped in passion. This isn’t a country that does things halfway.

Talk to our Argentina specialists and plan your perfect escape today.

Flight time

The flight from Auckland to Argentina takes roughly 15.5 hours with a stopover. Despite the longish travel time, the vibrant culture and stunning landscapes make it worth the trip.

Calendar Icon

Best time to go

Spring (September–November) and Autumn (March–June) are ideal for exploring Argentina’s cities with fewer crowds. For hiking Patagonia or enjoying summer festivals, visit between December and February, when the south is at its warmest.

Time difference

Argentina is between 15 and 16 hours behind New Zealand, depending on Daylight Saving at our end, so it's a bit of a difference.

Having spent the last 30 years in the Travel Industry I can safely say "I love my job" !!

Getting to put together dream holidays is very rewarding and it's great to see so many more Kiwis getting out to see this amazing world of ours...

I love to tailor holidays that are uniquely personal to you. Every person has different needs, wants and "must do's" for their holiday. Nothing is cookie cutter in the world of travel so being able to put together an itinerary that is bespoke and personal is rewarding for myself and for you, the traveller.

My favourite destinations would be Europe (especially France and Italy), South East Asia (especially Vietnam and Thailand) and of course our Island neighbours. I have been to Fiji numerous times and every time I just love it.
But there are so many places I have yet to travel to and I look forward to sharing my travel stories along the way.

I look forward to working with you..

I have been in and out of the industry since the 80's I have lived in Australia, Canada, Italy and of course NZ.

I have travelled to some great places but there is still a huge number of countries on my wish list.

There is nothing better than being able to help someone when they are going to a new place...recommend a hotel, restaurant or activity and then have them return to say how much they enjoyed it all.
