One Country, Five Worlds

A private, fourteen-day tour of Argentina, from Buenos Aires to the glaciers of Patagonia — built entirely around you. Begin in Buenos Aires with Recoleta, a sixteen-course asado, and tango in a house standing since 1769. Fly south to Ushuaia, where the continent ends and the Beagle Channel begins. Then Patagonia itself: Mount Fitz Roy above El Chaltén, the blue wall of Perito Moreno, an estancia dinner on the open steppe. It closes in Bariloche, among lakes and forest, at the table of a chef who cooks over iron and plays guitar when the plates are cleared. Private guides throughout, no fixed departures. What follows is the complete journey — yours to take in full, or in the parts that call to you.

A Journey Built in Five Parts
Take All of It, or Only What You Choose

This is the full fourteen-day program: Buenos Aires, Ushuaia, El Chaltén, El Calafate, and Bariloche. But it’s private and modular, not a fixed departure. Short on time? Choose only the parts that draw you — the glaciers and tango, or Patagonia alone — and we build the trip around them. The whole is the invitation. The shape is yours.

Days 1-4

Buenos Aires — A City Unlike Any Other in the Americas

You’re met at the airport and taken into Recoleta — jacaranda-lined avenues, French mansions, and a cemetery of extraordinary mausoleums, walked with a local guide. That evening: a sixteen-course asado in a private house, four wines from four regions, and a lesson in closing an empanada. A private city tour takes in San Telmo, Puerto Madero, and Palermo, then tango at El Viejo Almacén. The third day is yours — polo, or the boats of the Paraná Delta.

Ushuaia — Where the Continent Runs Out

A morning flight carries you to the far south, to a city wedged between mountains and the Beagle Channel. The first afternoon is spent on the water, sailing the channel Darwin sailed. The next day follows the King Crab Route to Almanza — crab from the channel to the table the same morning — then a RIB boat to a penguin colony. The last day climbs by 4×4 to a chain of private mountain lakes. This is the end of the road.

El Chaltén — Under Mount Fitz Roy

You fly north to El Calafate and set out along Route 40 — endless steppe, turquoise lakes, and peaks that grow as the road climbs. Lunch is at a traditional estancia along the way. As you near El Chaltén, Mount Fitz Roy rises on the horizon, one of the most dramatic silhouettes on earth. The next day is spent walking: your guide sets the route and distance to suit you, from short trails to half-day hikes beneath the peaks.

El Calafate — Fossils, Ridges, and Ice

The drive south pauses at the La Leona Petrified Forest, where stone trunks lie as they fell millions of years ago. That afternoon, a 4×4 climbs the Cerro Huyliche ridge — condors overhead, marine fossils a thousand meters up — before an estancia dinner. The next day belongs to Perito Moreno: a wall of ice kilometers wide that calves into the lake with a crack you feel in your chest. Meet it from the walkways, from a boat, or on the ice.

Bariloche — Lakes, Forests, and a Last Fire

A flight north brings blue lakes, pine-forested slopes, and the Andes in every direction. The Circuito Chico takes in the best of it, stopping at a craft brewery above Lago Moreno for empanadas and a tasting, and a chocolate workshop where you make your own. The next day you sail Lake Nahuel Huapi to the Arrayanes Forest, where cinnamon-colored trunks twist into a canopy found nowhere else. The final evening: cooking over iron with a Patagonian chef, then his guitar.

Authentic Gratitude from SilverOpus Travelers

our values

Our Promise to You Rests on Four Pillars

Respect

Simply fundamental. All that we do must, first and foremost, ensure that our clients, our partners, our staff and all those who live in our destinations feel entirely respected. The land must be respected. Nature must be respected. The people must be respected. All people. Honesty, fairness, care and much more are joined in a foundation of respect for all.

Authenticity

We study our destinations to understand what characterizes its beauty and relevance. Then, we fill our programs with what is most authentic about those destinations. We showcase nature, cuisine, hospitality and cultural experiences which are most valued by locals, not what is determined by the travel industry as most sellable. It is our way to stay true to authenticity, to enrich our programs with it.

Exclusivity

Our tribe is at the heart of what we do, every day. So, we don’t attempt to appeal to all. Instead, we put our efforts into creating excellence for those who love seeing the world like our tribe does. This philosophy restricts our audience to an exclusive set of travelers, and we don’t fight that. We embrace it and give them our everything.

Happiness

We are very serious about our work, but we can’t forget why we travel. And we travel because it makes us happy, joyous. Happiness from the scenery we see, the foods we taste, the people we meet and even from the hiccups that become fun stories, later on. So, we never forget that our work, serious as it is, is here to make you happy.
