Some trips start or finish in Buenos Aires, whilst on Highlights of South America you pass through on your way to Peru, but you'll get to take in the highlights of Buenos Aires on whichever tour package you choose!

The tap water is generally safe to drink in larger towns and cities, such as Buenos Aires. However, it has a high mineral content which your stomach may not be used to, so it can cause stomach upsets. In more remote areas, the tap water is not considered safe to drink.

To be safe, we recommend sticking to filtered or bottled water, which is readily available in shops, hotels, restaurants, and elsewhere in the country.

On our Argentina group tours, we are able to match up solo travelers with another traveler of the same sex, so you don't need to pay a single supplement. Please contact us if you would like to take up the room share option. If there is not a solo traveler of the same sex for you to share with, you will be given a single room to yourself at no extra cost.

If you are a solo traveler who would prefer the privacy of your own room then you can choose to pay the single supplement, the price of which is listed on each tour page.
