Itinerary
Day 1
Day 1
Buenos Aires
Twice-founded and once the wealthiest city in Latin America, Buenos Aires seduces with the world-class acoustics of the Teatro Colón, the ritual theatre of a wood-fire asado at a San Telmo parrilla, and the cobblestoned milongas where tango was born and where it burns still. Cross the estuary to UNESCO-listed Colonia del Sacramento or head south toward the glaciers of Patagonia. As South America's premier cruise hub for Antarctic expeditions and round-the-continent voyages, the city is most inviting from November through March.
Day 2
Day 2
Puerto Madryn
Puerto Madryn, gateway to Patagonia's UNESCO-listed Península Valdés, offers marine wildlife encounters rivaling the Galápagos—southern right whales breaching meters from shore, elephant seal colonies, orca beach-hunting, and Magellanic penguin rookeries. Welsh-heritage afternoon teas and Patagonian lamb roasted on iron crosses over open fires define this windswept coastal city's unique cultural blend. Celebrity Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, and Viking anchor in Golfo Nuevo to access one of the planet's greatest wildlife destinations.
