Argentina’s immense size – it’s the second largest country in South America – means you’ll most likely have to pick and choose what to see and do, as most destinations warrant at least 3 days.
Long Weekend Explore Buenos Aires. Consider a day trip to gaucho ranch or the cities of Tigre or Uruguay’s Colonia de Sacramento.
One Week Spend 3 days in Buenos Aires, allow 2 days to visit spectacular Iguazu Falls, then jet south to El Calafate to view the Perito Moreno glacier. If time allows, opt for a horseback ride along Lago Argentino (www.cabalgataenpatagonia.com).
Two Weeks Add to the above with a stop in the Lake District, followed by either a visit to Puerto Madryn or Mendoza; alternately, head to the northwest to experience the splendor of Jujuy and Salta provinces.
