The classic itinerary for this tour of Argentina is usually planned for 9–12 days to allow for a relaxed pace of travel. A sample itinerary includes: arrival in Buenos Aires, city tour and free time; flight to Trelew/Puerto Madryn to explore the Valdés Peninsula and its marine wildlife; connection to El Calafate to visit Los Glaciares National Park and the Perito Moreno Glacier (walkways and optional boat trip); flight to Puerto Iguazú to explore the walkways and the Devil's Throat; return to Buenos Aires and departure.

The trip is possible year-round, but Patagonia (El Calafate) and the Valdés Peninsula are best viewed from September to April. Southern right whale sightings are usually between June and December; penguins, from September to March. Iguazu Falls is a year-round waterfall, with the highest flow between November and March; summers are hot and humid. We recommend dressing in layers: a waterproof/windproof jacket, fleece, hat, and gloves for Patagonia; hiking boots with good traction; sunscreen, insect repellent, and a raincoat for Iguazu; and a reusable water bottle. Buenos Aires has a mild climate. Bring your ID, cash/credit card, and a small day pack for excursions.
This is a multi-destination tour of low to moderate difficulty: walks along boardwalks in Iguazu Falls and at Perito Moreno Glacier, with sections of stairs and gentle slopes.

Families with children, couples, and senior travelers usually enjoy it without problems. Optional activities such as mini-trekking on ice require a good level of fitness and may have age/pregnancy restrictions.
