Overview & Highlights
A luxurious break in a trio of the continent's most sumptuous properties, also offering activities and excursions. Iconic Alvear Palace in Buenos Aires, elegant Estancia La Bamba in the Argentine pampas and south Brazil's beachside Punta dos Ganchos..
- Guided city tour of Buenos Aires with visit to Teatro Colón
- Tango show with dinner, Buenos Aires
- Activities at the estancia
This is a luxurious holiday where you will discover some of the most attractive places on South America’s Atlantic seaboard while based at three of our favourite, top-of-the-range properties. The Alvear Palace is a traditional hotel with an illustrious history: presidents and rock stars have wallowed in its ornate, classic ambiance and excellent facilities. The service is very attentive; depending on your chosen room grade you may enjoy the services of a personal butler.
Move on from cosmopolitan Buenos Aires to the simple rural appeal of Argentina’s pampas. Here you will stay at a sumptuously restored colonial estancia, where you can ride with the gauchos and take afternoon tea around the pool. For a top notch beach stay head into Brazil and the Hotel Ponta dos Ganchos, the epitome of excellence with discreet, understated attention, remotely situated on a lovely stretch of unspoilt coastline.

What our clients say
97% of our clients rated their experience with us as Excellent or Good.
All the walks are memorable for me. I also enjoyed the warm weather, friendly smiling Colombian people (contrary to the negative and scare mongering stories about Colombia I heard in UK).
