Argentina rewards a week that swings between extremes: the European-flavored capital, the subtropical falls on the Brazilian border, and the high-desert vineyards under the Andes. The two internal flights are long but the payoff is three genuinely different Argentinas, from tango streets to jungle catwalks to snow-capped wine country. See the full itinerary.

The capital deserves three days because its character lives in distinct neighborhoods rather than a single sight: the antique-market streets of San Telmo, the mausoleum city of Recoleta, and the leafy parks and museums of Palermo. This stop leans on the cemetery, the grand theater and bookstore, and the green belt, keeping it complementary to the headline tango-and-La-Boca circuit.
The Argentine side holds roughly two-thirds of the falls, so two days lets you walk the long upper and lower circuits and take the train out to the Devil's Throat platform without cramming. The jungle around Puerto Iguazú adds wildlife refuges and the triple-border viewpoint for the extra time.
Mendoza is Argentina's wine capital, and two days balances the leafy, plaza-lined city with a day out among the vineyards and the high Andes beyond. The oasis city sits at the foot of Aconcagua, so the same base serves both bodega tastings and mountain drives.
