A Note from our Founder
I fell in love with Argentina in 2019, and it's one of those places I've never quite stopped thinking about.
There's something about this country that gets under your skin. Maybe it's the late dinners that stretch even later, the music spilling out into the streets, the impossibly good glass of Malbec, or the way Buenos Aires can feel like Paris one minute and unmistakably South American the next. Argentina has this confidence about it, romantic, soulful, a little dramatic, and completely intoxicating.
But what I love most is just how many versions of Argentina there are.
There's the cosmopolitan energy of Buenos Aires, where beautiful architecture, incredible restaurants, neighborhood cafés, art, tango, and nightlife all seem to exist on top of one another. There's Mendoza, where everything slows down among vineyards and long lunches, with the Andes looming so ridiculously beautifully in the distance they almost don't look real. And then there's Bariloche, where Argentina becomes wild and quiet, deep blue lakes, forests, mountains, and that crisp Patagonian air that makes you want to stay outside just a little longer.
And then, because apparently Argentina needed one more way to completely show off, there is Iguazú Falls. 😂
To me, Argentina is the perfect introduction to South America because it gives you so much of what makes this part of the world extraordinary: the warmth, the passion, the food, the wine, the culture, the landscapes, and that wonderful feeling that life is meant to be enjoyed a little more slowly and a lot more fully.
This is the kind of country that makes you curious about what else is down here. You come for Argentina...and leave with a very long list of places in South America you suddenly NEED to see.
And I cannot wait for this to be the beginning of that love affair for so many of you.

About the Tour
The Argentina Galavant
From private tango salons and the homes of Argentine gauchos to vineyard lunches beneath the Andes and boat rides through the wild beauty of Patagonia, this is Argentina in a way few travelers ever get to experience.
Over eleven incredible days, we’ll go beyond simply seeing Argentina and be welcomed into it. We’ll step behind closed doors in Buenos Aires for intimate tango experiences, spend a day in the countryside immersed in gaucho traditions, and trade the city for Mendoza, where days unfold over private vineyard experiences, long wine-soaked lunches, artisan encounters, and the Andes rising dramatically behind it all. Then, we’ll fly south to Bariloche, where crisp fall days unfold among forests, mountains and impossibly blue lakes.
Along the way, we’ll stay at some of Argentina’s most spectacular five-star hotels, from the elegant Palacio Duhau – Park Hyatt Buenos Aires to vineyard-surrounded Entre Cielos and the legendary Llao Llao Resort in Patagonia. This is a Galavant built around the kind of moments we love most: beautiful places, incredible food and wine, fascinating locals, and experiences that feel personal rather than packaged.
For those joining the optional Iguazú Falls extension, Argentina has one final showstopper. We’ll stay at the Gran Meliá Iguazú, the only hotel inside Iguazú National Park, and experience one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World from BOTH Argentina and Brazil, including a private boat ride that brings us right into the mist of the falls.
Our Galavant through Argentina is designed to leave you completely smitten with South America, with its people, its flavors, its passion, its landscapes, and that wonderful feeling that there is still so much more here to discover.

What the Gals are Saying….
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I expected beautiful destinations, but I came home with so much more. From exploring the history of Istanbul and walking across the rooftops of the Grand Bazaar, to sunrise hot air balloon rides in Cappadocia, every experience was unforgettable. What made this trip so special wasn’t just the itinerary; it was the thought and care behind every detail and the friendships formed along the way. You created an experience that allowed us to slow down, embrace the culture, and truly enjoy every moment. Thank you for creating memories I’ll cherish for a lifetime. I can’t wait to travel with The Galavant Society again!
— Ashley B.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A Galavant trip is a luxury travel experience led by incredible women for women who truly want to appreciate the world's most incredible places and make lifelong friendships along the way. As a wife and hard-working mom of two kids, this was the first vacation that I have ever had where I could just sit back and enjoy every scenic view, savor every bite of food, and be fully present in every engaging conversation with another "gal". The friendships I made on this trip are truly priceless and I will cherish this trip for the rest of my life.
— Tiffany S.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I am a pretty regular solo traveler, so I have a good degree of comfort planning my own thing. But I will say Alle and Linda (and Brea!) really put together an amazing itinerary that showcased the best of India and brought along an awesome group of women. Their trips hit all the highlights you'd want to see, plus some hidden gems and unique opportunities you're probably not going to find on your own. I also love that they work hard to find a local guide who is historically/culturally knowledgeable and also fun! Loved my time in India :-)

Trip Itinerary
Buenos
Aires
DAY ONE – Welcome to Buenos Aires! Our team will be waiting to whisk you to Palacio Duhau – Park Hyatt Buenos Aires, our elegant home in the heart of Recoleta. Settle in, freshen up, and soak in your first taste of the city before we gather for an intimate Welcome Dinner filled with gourmet bites, Argentine wines, and plenty of toasts to the adventure ahead.
DAY TWO – Today, we dive into the flavors, creativity, and colorful neighborhoods that give Buenos Aires its unmistakable soul. We’ll roll up our sleeves for a private Argentine cooking experience, mastering classics like handmade empanadas, before exploring elegant boulevards, vibrant street art, and some of the city’s most fascinating neighborhoods. We’ll end with an exclusive look inside Argentina’s contemporary art and design scene, meeting the creativity of Buenos Aires up close.
DAY THREE – Buenos Aires has tango in its soul, and today we’ll experience it firsthand. We’ll wander the colorful streets of La Boca before stepping inside a traditional conventillo for an exclusive tango lesson in the very setting where this iconic dance took shape. From there, we’ll explore historic neighborhoods and celebrated landmarks, with the option to dress up for dinner and a sensational tango show for the ultimate Buenos Aires night.
DAY FOUR – We’re trading city streets for the Argentine countryside today, where we’ll be welcomed into a private estancia by its owners for a glimpse into authentic gaucho life. Settle in for a traditional asado lunch with local wines, folklore performances, a natural horsemanship demonstration, and even a folk dance lesson, all surrounded by the peaceful beauty and warm hospitality of the Pampas.
Buenos Aires
Mendoza
DAY FIVE – Goodbye Buenos Aires, hello Mendoza! We’ll fly west to Argentina’s legendary wine country and settle into Entre Cielos, our dreamy retreat among the vines. That evening, an expert winemaker will lead us through a private wine blending masterclass, where we’ll create our own signature blends and put them to the test in a friendly tasting challenge. Then, we’ll gather beneath the grapevines for an unforgettable open-fire dinner paired with incredible Argentine wines, the dreamiest welcome to Mendoza.
DAY SIX – Today is pure Mendoza magic. We’ll escape high into the foothills of the Andes for a day at an intimate, high-altitude vineyard surrounded by jaw-dropping mountain views. Choose your own adventure with a horseback ride or scenic guided trek, then gather for a traditional gaucho lunch among the vines. We’ll finish with a private jewelry workshop alongside a local artisan, creating our own keepsake to forever remember this very special day.
DAY SEVEN – Mendoza, your way. Spend the day relaxing at our dreamy wine-country retreat, join a cooking class, or go wine tasting...because when in Mendoza, right? That evening, we’ll reunite underground in a historic wine cellar, where candlelight, incredible Argentine wines, an intimate dinner, and live acoustic music set the scene for one seriously unforgettable final night in wine country.
Mendoza
Bariloche
DAY EIGHT– We’re trading wine country for the wild beauty of Patagonia! After flying south to Bariloche, we’ll stretch our legs with a gentle walk through the Patagonian forest, surrounded by crisp fall air and spectacular scenery, before our first taste of traditional mate with local treats. Then, it’s off to the iconic Llao Llao Resort, our jaw-dropping home among the mountains and lakes.
DAY NINE – Patagonia, your way. We’ve intentionally left today completely open so you can experience this spectacular corner of the world however you choose. Hit the trails, escape to a nearby island, indulge at Llao Llao’s iconic spa, or simply soak up those lake and mountain views. Adventure or absolute relaxation, today is entirely yours.
DAY TEN – This is the ultimate Patagonia day, Galavant Society style. We’ll start with a hands-on natural cosmetics workshop and leisurely countryside lunch before taking to the lake for a private sunset cruise with cocktails, music, and jaw-dropping views. As night falls, we’ll gather around a roaring Patagonian bonfire for our Farewell Dinner, complete with incredible local food, live music, and one magical final night under the stars.
DAY ELEVEN – We’re heading back to Buenos Aires for one final night, an easy travel day designed to make your journey home (or onward to Iguazú!) as seamless as possible. Once we’re settled back into the Palacio Duhau – Park Hyatt, the afternoon is completely yours to revisit a favorite neighborhood, squeeze in some last-minute shopping, or simply enjoy one more leisurely afternoon in this fabulous city.
DAY TWELVE – All good things must come to an end! After breakfast, we’ll say our goodbyes and head to the airport for flights home or, for the Gals joining our Iguazú Falls Extension, one more adventure awaits. 🇦🇷✨

DAY TWELVE – The adventure continues! We’ll fly north to Iguazú and settle into the incredible Gran Meliá Iguazú, the only hotel located inside Iguazú National Park.

DAY THIRTEEN – Today, we experience Iguazú Falls from the Argentine side, venturing deep into the lush rainforest by train and along elevated walkways that bring us breathtakingly close to the cascades. We’ll spend the day surrounded by tropical wildlife, thundering water, and mist as we take in the sheer power and scale of one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.
DAY FOURTEEN - We’re crossing the border into Brazil, so go ahead and check another country off your list! We’ll experience an entirely different perspective of Iguazú, with panoramic walkways revealing the jaw-dropping scale of the falls. Then it’s time to get a little wet as we board a private boat safari into the heart of the action, surrounded by thundering water and mist for one seriously epic final day.
DAY FIFTEEN – And just like that, our Argentina adventure comes to an end! After breakfast, we’ll whisk you to the airport for your onward flight, whether that means heading home, returning to Buenos Aires, or continuing your adventures in Brazil.

Buenos
Aires
ARRIVE EARLY — Want to slip into Galavant mode a little early? Arrive in Buenos Aires a day or two ahead to shake off the jet lag, explore at your own pace, or simply enjoy a little extra five-star fabulousness before we begin. We can arrange your additional nights and private airport transfer, so all you have to do is arrive, settle in, and start enjoying Argentina.
EXTEND YOUR GALAVANT — Not quite ready to head home? We don't blame you. Add another night in Buenos Aires, explore another corner of Argentina, or turn this Galavant into an even bigger South American adventure. Our Private Galavant planning team can create a personalized pre- or post-trip itinerary just for you, because you've already come this far...why not make the most of it?
Buenos Aires
A Few Considerations:
✨ You love a destination with contrasts
Argentina keeps changing on you, and that’s part of the magic. We’ll go from cosmopolitan Buenos Aires to Mendoza wine country and wild Patagonia, with tropical Iguazú for those joining the extension. If you love a trip where every stop feels completely different, this one delivers.
✨ Food & wine are part of the adventure
Come hungry…and ready for Malbec. From asado and empanadas to vineyard lunches, wine blending, and dinners that deserve their own moment, food and wine are woven throughout this Galavant. You don’t need to be an expert, but you should definitely enjoy indulging.
✨ You’re flexible in transit
Argentina is BIG, and seeing this much of it means a few internal flights, airport transfers, and travel days. We’ve designed the flow thoughtfully, but you should be comfortable packing up and moving along. Trust us, what’s waiting on the other side is worth it.
✨ You like your nature with a side of luxury
This is Patagonia, but it’s not a hiking trip. We’ll get outside and soak up the scenery, but we also believe nature pairs beautifully with five-star hotels, fabulous meals, and spa time. Your free day is yours to hike, explore, or stay firmly in your robe.
✨ You appreciate time to make it your own
We love an incredible itinerary, but we don’t believe every minute needs to be scheduled. You’ll have free time in both Mendoza and Patagonia to follow your curiosity, book an optional experience, hit the spa, or simply enjoy our fabulous hotels and do absolutely nothing.
✨ You’re ready to get a little wild at Iguazú
For our extension Gals, Iguazú brings out our adventurous side. Expect rainforest trails, wildlife, mist, humidity, and a private boat ride that gets VERY close to those thundering falls. You will probably get wet. You will definitely make memories. And yes, it’s worth it.
If you have any questions about the above, we’re happy to chat! Just email us at hello@thegalavantsociety.com
Accommodations
BUENOS AIRES
Palacio Duhau Park Hyatt
Old-world glamour meets modern Buenos Aires at this iconic five-star retreat in Recoleta, one of the city’s most elegant and coveted neighborhoods. Set within a magnificent Belle Époque palace surrounded by lush gardens, Palacio Duhau puts us exactly where we want to be, steps from beautiful architecture, fabulous restaurants, boutiques, cafés, and some of Buenos Aires’ most famous sights.
And that location is exactly why we chose it. When you have free time, you can simply step outside and experience the city rather than feeling tucked away at a resort. Back at the hotel, there’s a serene spa, gorgeous gardens, incredible dining, and plenty of places for a glass of Argentine wine. Five-star fabulousness with Buenos Aires right outside our door? Sold.
MENDOZA
Entre Cielos Wine Hotel & Spa
If we’re coming all the way to Mendoza, we want to stay among the vines, and that’s exactly why we chose Entre Cielos. Set across 20 acres in the heart of Luján de Cuyo, this intimate wine-country retreat is surrounded by Malbec vineyards with the snowcapped Andes rising in the distance. Here, the vineyards aren’t somewhere we visit for the day, they’re the backdrop to our entire stay.
And when you’re not sipping your way through wine country? The hotel is home to Latin America’s first and only authentic traditional hammam, plus an outdoor pool, beautiful gardens, wine experiences, and plenty of quiet corners made for doing absolutely nothing. It’s Mendoza exactly how we want to experience it: immersive, indulgent, and fabulously unhurried.
BARILOCHE
Llao Llao Resort & Spa
If Patagonia had a grand dame, Llao Llao would be her. Set on a spectacular peninsula surrounded by lakes, mountains, and ancient forests, this legendary resort is one of Argentina’s most iconic stays, the kind of place where the setting alone makes your jaw drop. Alpine architecture, sweeping views, crackling fireplaces, and that crisp Patagonian air make it feel straight out of a storybook.
And this is a hotel you’ll actually have time to enjoy. Spend our free day at the spa, cozy up fireside, explore the surrounding trails, or simply claim a spot overlooking the lake and soak it all in. It’s grand without feeling stuffy, luxurious without losing its sense of place, and exactly where we want to experience the magic of Patagonia.
IGUAZÚ - EXTENSION
Gran Meliá Iguazú
There are hotels near bucket-list wonders...and then there’s Gran Meliá Iguazú. The only hotel located inside Iguazú National Park, this five-star retreat puts us quite literally on the doorstep of one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, surrounded by lush subtropical rainforest with the thunder of the falls just beyond.
And the real showstopper? That infinity pool overlooking Iguazú Falls. After a day exploring the cascades, come back for a swim, a cocktail, a spa moment, or simply sit and take in a view you traveled all this way to see. This isn’t just where we’re sleeping during our extension; staying here is part of the Iguazú experience itself.

✨ GALAVANT GOLDEN RULES ✨
Our Galavants are designed for independent women who crave cultural immersion, meaningful connection, and stylish stays in dazzling destinations. We value kindness, inclusion, and curiosity and we expect our travelers to do the same.
We’re here to support you every step of the way, with enough space to explore, recharge, and travel in your own fabulous style.
You're a great fit if...
+ You pack an open mind and a positive attitude
+ You lead with kindness and respect (for people and places)
+ You’re flexible when plans shift (because sometimes they do)
+ You’ve taken the time to learn about the destination before arriving
+ You’re excited to make new friends and meaningful connections
+ You appreciate guidance, but don’t need hand-holding
THIS GALAVANT IS FOR YOU IF…
You want to fall completely in love with Argentina, from the passion and energy of Buenos Aires to wine-soaked days beneath the Andes, crisp fall air in Patagonia, and maybe even the thundering magic of Iguazú.
You like your adventures with a healthy dose of fabulous, where tango lessons and gaucho traditions live alongside five-star hotels, long lunches, incredible wine, spa afternoons, and sunsets best enjoyed with a cocktail in hand.
You want to experience a destination, not simply see it, meeting the people who bring it to life, being welcomed into places most travelers never find, and coming home with stories that could never have happened on a cookie-cutter tour.
You believe the very best trips are about what you see AND who you share it with, because Argentina will be incredible, but the laughter over Malbec, nights under Patagonian stars, inside jokes, and friendships you bring home? That’s the real Galavant magic.
What to know
BEFORE YOU GO
-
Our Galavants are crafted for women 21 and up who crave meaningful travel, rich cultural experiences, and genuine connection.

Our travelers typically range from their late 20s to mid 60s, with most falling somewhere between 30 and 55. But truthfully? Age isn’t the defining factor for joining a Galavant, energy is.
