Argentina journeys across Patagonia and the north experiences
Follow vineyards, Triassic basins, volcanic Puna, salt and coloured valleys along the western half of northern Argentina.
A way into Argentina
Argentina's western road follows the Andes without holding one constant altitude. Vineyards sit beneath snow peaks; pale fossil basins turn red; volcanic plateau rises above 3,000 metres.
The most remote landscapes are not casual rental-car detours. Local drivers, acclimatisation and current road information are part of travelling them well.
The Andes arrive by degrees: first as Mendoza's distant wall, then as red canyon, white pumice, salt and a road where altitude changes the body.
AlexJourney designerDesigner's note
I use Mendoza, San Juan and La Rioja to approach the Puna rather than flying into thin air. Remote days belong to local 4x4 drivers who know what the road has become.

I design high-desert journeys from Mendoza's irrigated shade to ancient basins and the thin air of the Puna.
Mendoza reveals how dry country is made habitable.
Ischigualasto and Talampaya slow the geological story.
Catamarca and Jujuy require altitude and road judgement.

Best time
The northwest is generally driest outside summer rain, with clear mountain light and cold high-altitude nights. Iguazú and Iberá remain warm, and their water levels still answer to rainfall upstream.
Theme FAQ
Epic Northern Argentina carries it through the complete Buenos Aires circle.
Yes. We can give more time to vineyards, archaeology, high-altitude landscapes or living Andean culture while keeping the gradual ascent that protects your body.
