Travel Review: Luxury Argentina Vacation, Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls, Mendoza, Bariloche, El Calafate, Lujan de Cuyo, tango...

My wife and I entered and left Argentina through Buenos Aires. We enjoyed one day on each end of our trip in BA and toured the city both on foot and in a bus. Additionally we enjoyed a tango show our last night in BA. Next we went to Iguazu and spent one long and enjoyable day in the park seeing this incredible waterfall from every direction including a boat ride into the falls. Then we spent 3 days in Mendoza touring the wineries. We stayed in Finca Adalgisa, a boutique winery and hotel. This was the finest hotel experience I've ever had. We were treated like royalty with the staff always asking us if we needed something. After one long morning touring we arrived back at the hotel between meals and the staff took it upon themselves to make a late lunch (at no charge). One evening we took their cooking class with their head chef Kristina and had a blast learning how to make empanadas. Our tour guide to the wineries was Cecilia. She was terrific and was very knowledgeable about winemaking as she had worked for several years at one the wineries. After 3 days we reluctantly left for Bariloche. Our trip there was shortened because of an overbooking at the Argentine airline. We were able to regroup and still got in our short circuit and boat ride of Nahuel Huapi Lake to Puerto Blest. Our guide in Bariloche was Karen - she was excellent and went over everything from plate tectonics to the unique flora and fauna of the lakes region of Argentina. The final leg of our trip was El Califate. This was the most visually spectacular place I have ever seen. (As I mentioned we're from Seattle and the glaciers in Patagonia are far more impressive than Alaska) I'll try to enclose some pictures. We had a full day boat ride among the glaciers of Lago Argentina. The next day we trekked on Pedro Moreno Glacier and had the experience of a lifetime.
