Argentine Contrasts: Tango and Malbec

Buenos Aires & Mendoza, Argentina 7 days / 6 nights
Premium

This circuit is a dialogue between two of Argentina's souls. It begins in Buenos Aires, a city that seduces with its European-inspired elegance, the passion of its milongas, and a history that can be felt on every corner of its emblematic neighborhoods.

Then, a flight transports us to a completely different scene: Mendoza, an oasis at the foot of the imposing Andes Mountains. Here, the pace slows down, marked by the sun, the flavors of the land, and the culture of wine. A journey that perfectly balances urban intensity with the calm of nature.

Highlights

Tour of the most renowned neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, from Recoleta to La Boca.
A night of gastronomy and passion with a dinner and tango show.
A free day in Buenos Aires to explore at your own pace.
Excursion to the Pre-Andean range, visiting the Potrerillos dam.
Visit to an olive oil mill to learn about the process.
Wine experience at a renowned winery with a paired lunch.

Booking & policies

Are the prices shown net or retail?

Rates are net (wholesale) and reserved for travel agencies and tour operators, who sign in to see them and add their own margin. Public visitors see an indicative retail “from” price; the net rate is never shown outside the agency portal.

How is a booking confirmed?

Most bookings are confirmed immediately and the voucher is emailed within minutes. When a service shows “In process”, RUMBO LIBRE is confirming final availability with the receptive operator at destination — usually within 24 to 48 business hours.

What is the cancellation policy?

Cancellations follow Clause 7 of the Terms: more than 30 days before the service, no penalty and a full refund; 15 to 30 days, 25%; 8 to 14 days, 50%; 3 to 7 days, 75%; less than 72 hours before commencement or a no-show, 100%. Certain destinations — Patagonia, the Amazon region and high-demand dates in peak season — apply stricter terms, stated in the quotation. The schedule above is indicative: the conditions that apply to each booking are those confirmed in the quotation, and may be stricter in high season, on public holidays or where a supplier applies its own policy.

Can dates or passenger names be changed after confirmation?

Amendment requests must reach RUMBO LIBRE at least 72 business hours before the service begins. Changes are managed with the receptive operator subject to availability, and any resulting rate difference applies. For private services, a name change may require re-issuing the booking at the current rate.
