Argentina for Honeymooners

The variety of landscapes and experiences that Argentina offers makes it a wonderful honeymoon destination. Travelling through its vastly different regions is like visiting various countries in one. There are infinite possible combinations of honeymoon itineraries within Argentina. Here are some ideas to inspire you.

Honeymoon Buenos Aires: Discover the passion and buzz of one of the world’s hottest honeymoon destinations. Sensual tango, Parisian architecture, modern design and boutique hotels are what make Buenos Aires so romantic, cosmopolitan and fashionable. To add to your city experience, sample a bit of gaucho life -riding across the plains and feasting on fine Argentine steak– by staying on an estancia in the Pampas. 

Honeymoon Patagonia: There is no better (or more remote) place to wind down after your wedding than Patagonia. This immense, peaceful and strikingly beautiful area is punctuated with luxury hotels and stylish lodges. From spa resorts at the End of the World to elegant estancias on the Patagonian steppe; from eco-hotels with views of the whales in Puerto Madryn to exclusive retreats in the Lake District. In Patagonia, romance and relaxation come hand in hand.  

Honeymoon Iguazú: Combine tropical luxury and natural gems by visiting the mighty Iguazú Falls (UNESCO site and one of South America’s marvels), and then the undiscovered Esteros del Ibera wetlands. This off-the-beaten-track network of lagoons and marshes is home to crocodiles, capybara, marsh deer, thousands of butterflies and rare birds. Water lilies and exotic plants join together to form floating islands on which the animals roam. Stay on a rustic but romantic lodge with direct access to the marshes.

Honeymoon Mendoza: Explore the vineyards and enjoy the wines and gourmet cuisine of Argentina’s most established Wine Route. Wherever you are in Mendoza, the snow-capped Andes always provide a magnificent backdrop. For active honeymooners, options include white water rafting in the Atuel Canyon or climbing Aconcagua, for the most intrepid. 

Honeymoon Salta: See the different faces of Salta’s indigenous culture. Stay in a boutique hotel in the carefully maintained colonial capital; hire a car and explore the area’s spectacular valleys, mountains, salt flats and deserts; try the world’s highest altitude wines in the Calchaquí Valleys; and work off the local cuisine by cycling, riding, hiking or rafting in the Andes.

Honeymoon Córdoba: Play polo or explore the hills of Cordoba on horseback by day, relax in a romantic estancia and feast on extravagant barbeques by night. Cordoba is ideal for newly weds looking for outdoor activities in stunning surroundings and an authentic estancia experience complete with tradition, grandeur and impeccable service.

Whatever the itinerary, a honeymoon in Argentina promises to be the trip of a lifetime.
