What makes Argentina a must visit destination?
This extraordinary South American nation captivates every traveller with its breathtaking diversity of landscapes, passionate culture, world class cuisine, and warm hearted people who welcome foreign visitors with genuine enthusiasm and pride. From the sophisticated Parisian boulevards and vibrant tango halls of Buenos Aires to the dramatic granite towers of Patagonia, the thundering spectacle of Iguazu Falls, and the endless vine covered valleys of Mendoza this destination delivers an endlessly varied and deeply satisfying travel experience. The country's rich European immigrant heritage blended with indigenous traditions creates a uniquely compelling cultural tapestry. Royal Air Trip crafts itineraries capturing the very best this magnificent destination offers.
What is the best time to visit Argentina?
The best time to visit depends entirely on which regions you plan to explore during your trip. Buenos Aires and the northern regions are most enjoyable during spring from September to November and autumn from March to May when temperatures are pleasantly mild and outdoor sightseeing is extremely comfortable. Patagonia is best visited between November and March during the southern hemisphere summer when trekking conditions in Torres del Paine and Los Glaciares National Park are at their most accessible and spectacular. Wine lovers should visit Mendoza during the famous harvest festival in March when the vineyards are bursting with ripe grapes and celebrations fill every corner of the region. Royal Air Trip helps you plan the perfect timing for your dream South American journey.
What unique experiences can I only have in Argentina?
This remarkable destination offers some of the most extraordinary and genuinely one of a kind travel experiences found anywhere in South America that leave visitors with memories they treasure for a lifetime. Watching a live tango performance in a traditional milonga in the La Boca neighbourhood of Buenos Aires where this passionate and deeply sensual dance was born over a century ago is a profoundly moving cultural experience unlike anything else in the world. Standing at the edge of the Perito Moreno Glacier one of the few advancing glaciers on earth and hearing the thunderous crack of enormous ice blocks calving into the turquoise lake below is an experience of pure natural drama. Royal Air Trip includes these extraordinary experiences in all our itineraries.
What is the food and wine culture like?
The culinary culture of this passionate nation is one of the richest and most celebrated in all of South America reflecting centuries of Italian, Spanish, and indigenous influences that together create a deeply satisfying and wonderfully diverse gastronomic tradition. Asado the beloved national barbecue tradition where enormous cuts of beef, lamb, and chorizo are slow grilled over wood embers for hours is more than just a meal here it is a deeply social and almost sacred cultural ritual shared with family and friends that every visitor absolutely must experience. Empanadas stuffed with spiced meat, cheese, or vegetables are the perfect street food snack found everywhere. The Malbec wines from Mendoza are world renowned for their exceptional depth and quality. Royal Air Trip incorporates authentic dining experiences into all our itineraries.
What should I know about the local culture before visiting?
This vibrant and passionate nation has a wonderfully expressive and warmly social culture shaped by centuries of European immigration, indigenous heritage, and a deep love of football, tango, literature, and the great outdoors that together create one of the most engaging and memorable cultural experiences in all of South America. Mealtimes are taken very seriously and dinner rarely begins before 9pm even on weeknights reflecting the deeply social and unhurried approach to eating that defines local life. Greeting people with a kiss on the cheek is the standard social custom even when meeting someone for the first time and refusing this gesture can be considered unexpectedly cold. Football is an absolute religion and if your visit coincides with a local match attending one is an unforgettable and electric cultural experience. Royal Air Trip briefs all clients on local customs ensuring a respectful and deeply enriching cultural experience.
