Culture Tour Of Argentina

The concept of what a cultural tour should entail is something that can differ from one person to another. Some people want to learn about the past civilizations that influenced the current population of a country. Other travellers want to get a personal experience of how the native people are living today.

Still others want to focus on a particular aspect of the country's culture such as the cuisine, music, dancing or art that are indigenous to the place. Whether you want to focus on just one of these things or all of them, you can find plenty to do in both Peru and Argentina through a Peru travel agent.

Cultural Tours in Argentina

One thing that is almost certain is that when you think of Argentina you think of three certain things. That is, the food, the wine and the tango. Whether you have an interest in understanding more about all three or are keen in knowing one in particular, there are many tours to choose from. They are all integral parts of the Argentine culture.

Buenos Aires is the capital city, a likely stop-off at the very least but if you're keen on learning about the history of tango then a lot of time needs to be spent here. The dance was born here and this is where you can get the best instruction and see the best dancers perform. Tours may include private instruction, group instruction, tickets to shows and more. It can be really helpful for single travellers to join a group for this type of tour as partners are typically provided for everyone to better learn.

WIne tours are popular in this country too, and while Mendoza has a great concentration of top wineries, there are many places across Argentina that are worth considering for a tasting. Of course, this is something that you can arrange on your own. However, it can be worth it to book a tour through an agency that specializes in this. Travelling as an individual or without a tour isn't always a great idea, not least because agencies tend to use their relationship with owners to get you VIP treatment.

These tours are frequently paired with food so that you can taste the best that the cuisine has to offer and also experience how the wines add to the flavor and, of course, how the food changes the experience of the wine. Malbec is the wine that many think of when it comes to Argentina, but don't forget the Chardonnay, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon offerings either.

Another wine producing area worth visiting is Salta. Red wine and Argentina are two things that tend to hand in hand but this isn't all that's on offer, the internationally acclaimed Torrotes white wine can also be sampled here. In both places, there are stunning landscapes to appreciate but, in Salta, you can also go on the "Train to the Clouds", one of the 3 highest trains in the world, offering you a vista you cannot get otherwise. When we think of stunning landscapes, many people couple a trip to Argentina with Machu Picchu luxury tours.

For a really special way to visit the wine regions of Argentina, you can go by horseback. These are great for a day where it's possible to canter from one winery to another quickly and effectively thanks to the close proximity. Other tours, however, last for several days. On these, you can enjoy even more of the region's natural beauty, spend the nights on various ranches along the way and get to learn about the life of the gauchos, the Argentine cowboys.
