The Argentina Trip
Overview
For the love of tango rhythms, sizzling Asado bbq, and stunning views — add bustling nightlife, otherworldly salt flats, and endless Malbec. That’s our Argentina trip.
As the second-largest country in South America, Argentina is known for tango, Malbec wine, stunning desert landscapes, and some of the best food you’ll ever eat. This trip is made for solo travelers in their 20s and 30s who want to meet new people and explore without the stress. Just show up, and we’ll handle the rest.
Because Argentina is in the Southern Hemisphere, the seasons are flipped, so when it’s cold back home, it might be warm and sunny here. Don’t worry though, we’ve timed the trip for the best weather and picked destinations that are great year-round.
You’ll kick things off in Buenos Aires, a city that blends European charm with Latin soul. Think leafy parks, late-night dance halls, cozy cafés, and streets made for wandering. Then we’re heading north to the mountains and desert, where red rock valleys, salt flats, and Andean culture bring a whole new vibe.
Come hungry for adventure, connection, and handmade empanadas.
