ARGENTINA WALKING ITINERARY
Trip Length: 8 days/7 nights
Start/Finish 2008: San Miguel de Tucumán/Buenos Aires
Start/Finish 2009: Miguel de Tucumán/Salta
Argentina’s great northwest is a huge region of stunning vistas
– big skies, enormous canyons and mountain peaks, and an
awe-inspiring array of colours. On our walking trip you will see
it all: vineyards and fruit orchards side by side with deserts,
adobe villages in the foothills of the snow-capped Andes, and
rugged hills lining lush green valleys. And we will make sure
that you just as intimately come to know the people, whose
harmonious mix of native and Hispanic traditions have made the
northwest the heartland of Argentina. Trip Highlights:
- Indulge in gourmet meals and spa treatments at a
spectacular lakeside resort surrounded by rain forests and
high peaks covered with eternal snow
- Arrive by private boat for a visit of the Bosque de
Arrayanes, a forest known for its rare and unusual trees
with cinnamon coloured bark
- With a glass of great local wine in hand, take in
spectacular glacier views from your hotel room at Los Notros,
one of the best views of any hotel in the world
- Strap on crampons to climb Perito Moreno Glacier,
towering 200 feet above crystal-blue waters

Accommodations:
Patios de Cafayate, Cafayate
This charming 30-room boutique hotel is situated on the
property of the El Esteco winery. Manicured grounds hug the
hotel’s colonial architecture, while vineyards drape the
surrounding hills. Temptations include the innovative and modern
“wine spa” and the outdoor pool.
Estancia Colomé, Molinos
Situated in a privileged spot bounded by snowy mountains and
soft valleys, this nine-room boutique property emerges like a
mirage in this deserted area. The Hess Group, which runs the
hotel, makes wine, collects art and manages hotels around the
world. The Estancia Colomé embraces all these activities and
more; the hotel brings environmental and social awareness
together by trading with the local people and working to keep
the land healthy and the hotel sufficient. All while offering
high levels of comfort, exquisite cuisine and a range of
activities for visitors.
La Merced del Alto, Cachi
Stylishly built with local materials, following the design
of indigenous traditional fincas (ranches), La Merced is a
15-room boutique hotel, decorated with local tapestries and
antiques, sofas buried under cushions, and gourmet Andean
cuisine. The outdoor swimming pool and spa overlook the
mountains and surrounding valleys, ensuring a relaxing stay.
Sheraton Hotel, Salta
The Sheraton Hotel is set on a hillside in the quiet Monumento
neighbourhood, about a 20-minute walk from Salta’s historical
centre, and offers views of the city and the Andes from every
room. It also boasts a spa, gorgeous outdoor pool, and all the
conveniences one has come to expect from a modern, international
hotel.
