"We had a memorable adventure through Argentina with the help of Exploration Journeys"
"The best part was that Fred possesses a deep knowledge of Argentina and all the tours, so he provided us with a lot of good insights."
"Fred, the Exploration Journeys rep and host, was always prompt with his responses to our many inquiries before AND during our trip."
TRIP REVIEW OF KENNY MOK AND WILLIAM BORING
"We had a memorable adventure through Argentina with the help of Exploration Journeys. We live in Northern California and hesitated about having an online tour company based in Argentina to help us with our vacation. But after several email exchanges, we found Exploration Journeys to be a trustworthy and bona fide company.Fred, the Exploration Journeys rep and host, was always prompt with his responses to our many inquiries before AND during our trip. Even though he was not with us in person, he was always available either by phone or via email. We told him places where we'd like to visit, and he helped arranged for all the domestic flights within Argentina.
Pickups and transfers to airports are set up, in addition to printed e-boarding passes. Fred would alert us immediately if there were any changes or delays with our domestic flights. Not only would he have a Plan B, but he would also have a Plan C.
The best part was that Fred possesses a deep knowledge of Argentina and all the tours, so he provided us with a lot of good insights.
Argentina is a vast country with lots of varied climates and terrains. Unlike the rest of Latin America, Argentina is very European, with a mix of Italians and Spanish cultures. We started out in Buenos Aires, then headed to the Andes Mountains in Mendoza, then flew down to Tierra del Fuego and Patagonia. Buenos Aires is a cosmopolitan city and is quite safe, compared to most major cities in the U.S. People are very tolerant of Americans with limited Spanish skills. Tierra del Fuego and Patagonia are the places that one must go in his/her lifetime. the experience is indescribable. Mendoza is a must if you like Malbec.
As far as food is concerned, aside from the famous parilla, trying the alfajores that are made fresh from the bakeries is a must. Once you've tasted freshly made alfajores, you won't go back to the boxed varieties! And bring home some Malbec and dulce de leche!"

Savoring First-class Wines in Mendoza’s Central Region (private tour) Over the past 20 years, there has been a revolution in the Argentine wine industry, driven partly by the success of one grape that, in many countries, is used only for mixing – the rich, velvety Malbec. Dense and dark, with full-body richness that few other grapes can mimic, the Argentine Malbec varietal has become all the rage in the United States, and is increasing in popularity among other countries as well. 94% of restaurants in the top ten wine markets in the US feature Malbec on their wine lists, according to a 2010 survey on Wine Spectator magazine. Enjoy an exclusive wine tasting experience as you take in the taste of first-class Argentine wines, and visit some of the most prestigious wineries in Mendoza. Located at the foothills of the Andes mountain range, in the shadow of Mount Aconcagua, the vineyards in Mendoza are planted at some of the highest altitudes in the world; with the average site located anywhere between 2000 and 3600 feet (600 to 1100 meters) above sea level This allows winemakers to plant at exactly the right altitude for each grape variety to ripen perfectly. Argentina is the fifth wine producer in the world, and with over a thousand active wineries accounting for more than 70% of Argentina’s wine production, Mendoza is considered the heart of the Argentine winemaking industry.
