Our Gold category trips include the best tours in each destination (usually done on private basis or in small groups), guaranteeing an exclusive first‑class and in-depth travel experience.
Additionally, airport transfers are provided on a private basis in all destinations, except in Peninsula Valdes.
Our Silver category trips have different and fewer tours than our Gold category trips, sometimes with different durations of stay in some destinations.

TRIP REVIEW OF MAUREEN & FRANK FERNANDEZ AND FAMILY
"Over Christmas vacation, Fred and Argentina Exploration Journeys planned the most seamless family trip for my family of five.We all live great distances from each other, and what better way to reconnect than to experience a completely new culture. We did it all in 12 days!
We galloped horses with the gauchos through the pampas, trekked on the glaciers, rode inflatable zodiacs to see the Magellan Penguins and tangoed in Buenos Aires. There was a lot of moving around in an effort to see everything in a short period of time and Fred's help made it all possible.
My family thanks you for your most professional planning and all the magical family memories we now hold dear."
