The Walk in the Park
The Walk in the Park is a perfect package for visitors with limited vacation time. An eight day trip beginning and ending in Esquel with six full days of activities that allows you to leave your office at the end of a winter Friday, catch an overnight flight, be taking Mate
Nothing in Argentina is more Argentine than “el mate”. It is a foundation block of the very culture and lifeblood of our nation. Far more than a simple beverage to be shared amongst friends, mate is a staple of the identity of the Argentine people. It is tempting for northern hemisphere types to try and characterize mate as being something in the nature of tea, or coffee, a beverage to be enjoyed between meals or for a quick pick me up in the middle of the day. But mate in Argentina, far from being a simple liquid infusion, is as much about relationships as it is about caffeine, constituting a national tradition which is so deeply rooted in all strata of society that everywhere one goes in this land they will encounter “equipo de mate,” and offers to partake. Custom dictates that the server drink the first mate, checking to make sure that the temperature of the water and consistency of the yerba is correct, then refills it before handing it to the next person who will drink. Each member of a group drinks from the same mate, which is refilled and passed by the server from person to person. To share a mate is to share a conversation, to exchange ideas, and experience “community” in the very passage of time. It is an experience not to be missed, and one that many travelers to Argentina choose to take home and adopt in their own lands. CLICK TO CLOSE in the summer Patagonia sun by Saturday afternoon, and still be back at your desk the next Monday morning after an incredible adventure having used up only one week of vacation time.

The Grand Explore
What’s your rush? The Grand Explore is our most relaxed and open package - a fifteen day trip with thirteen full days for activities and exploring, or for just sitting around the fire with a local Malbec while the AsadoArgentina is famous the world over for the quality of its meats, and there is no better way to experience this than with a traditional asado feast. The unique flavor of well bred, naturally fed free range stock from the pampas combined with the unique process of slow roasting over woodfire charcoal have made the asado an Argentine staple for locals and tourists alike.
A Sunday without asado in Patagonia is a rare thing indeed, for as the gaucho poet Martín Fierro once said, "every beast that walks goes to the grill.” Inevitably the feast is accompanied by good red wine, homemade chimichurri, and a selection of fresh baked breads. CLICK TO CLOSE cooks slowly to perfection. This trip provides ample time to explore a wide variety of destinations and still experience plenty of local culture and cuisine. The Grand Explore can be planned to begin and end in either Bariloche or Esquel.
