This morning, after breakfast, embark on a city tour of Buenos Aires and discover the charm and magic of this vibrant metropolis. Begin at Plaza de Mayo, a key site in Argentina's political history, surrounded by iconic buildings. Here, you'll learn about the area's significance before heading to San Telmo, one of the city's oldest neighbourhoods, known for its cobblestone streets, antique shops and picturesque architecture. Next, explore the colourful neighbourhood of La Boca, famous for its tango culture and vibrant Caminito Street. You’ll also visit important landmarks such as La Casa Rosada (the Presidential Palace, known as The Pink House), the Cabildo (the colonial town hall), and the Neoclassical Metropolitan Cathedral, where Argentina’s founding father, Jose de San Martín, is laid to rest. Finally, admire the celebrated Recoleta Cemetery, a true labyrinth of ornate mausoleums. Stop at Eva "Evita" Peron’s grave, one of the country’s most recognisable icons.

After the city tour, return to your hotel and enjoy the afternoon at leisure.

In the evening, you will be picked up from the hotel and transferred to Café de los Angelitos for a three-course dinner and tango show. The show has explored the history of tango from the 1920s to Piazzolla, with a touch of modernity.

No city on the planet has a more southerly latitude. As a result, the sun shines for 18 hours during summer, providing ample opportunity to view the mix of glaciers, forests and sea, all framed by Mount Martial to the west and Mounts Olivia and Cinco Hermanos to the east. There’s a magnificent wealth of history and culture to discover in Ushuaia. The town was formerly a missionary base, penal colony, and naval base but has increasingly become a significant tourist destination with many attractions, including restaurants, sightseeing, and casinos. You could explore Tierra del Fuego National Park on a day hike through the wilderness or along the coast and glacial lakes. The End of the World Museum offers a beautiful glimpse into the history and culture that shaped this city and includes collections of artefacts and pieces from the first expeditions and the indigenous people who once inhabited the region. Savour authentic Argentinian specialties with the freshest seafood, like king crab, seabass, ceviche, grilled octopus, or the ever-popular, slow-cooked Fuegian lamb, and delicious regional wines.

Tierra del Fuego, Land of Fire, is the most isolated place in the Americas, and Cape Horn is its southernmost point. These craggy cliffs and windswept shores are stark, rugged beauty personified, creating a dramatic setting for the collision between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

Gerlache Strait, Antarctica:
Several geographical anomalies around this channel make these waters among the most plankton-rich in the world. You'll likely see a profusion of whales feeding in the rich ecosystem, a sight you'll remember.

Paradise Bay, Antarctica:
This name aptly reflects the stunning beauty you'll find here, just as the clear waters beautifully reflect the spectacular mountains, such as Rojas Peak, Bryde Peak, and the Petzval Glacier. Within these waters, we may see Minke whales feeding and Gentoo penguins curiously observing us from the rocky shores.

Schollart Channel, Antarctica:
Journey to the far reaches of the world with a Schollart Channel cruise. Experience the spectacular wildlife that inhabits the great white South Pole and breathe in the exhilarating air. With Anvers Island to the southwest and Brabant Island to the northeast, take in the mesmerising sights of massive ice flows, humpback whales, waddling penguins, leopard seals and more in their natural and somewhat extreme element. You will surely leave with unforgettable memories and pictures as you cruise through the Schollart Channel near Antarctica.

This tiny island in the Weddell Sea of Antarctica plays a role in one of seafaring history's most legendary exploits. When the brave crew of the Endurance, led by intrepid explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, was trapped in the ice during a 1914 polar expedition, they took refuge on this island until help arrived. And, even though they spent the entire winter waiting for rescue, not a single crew member was lost.

Located in the Southern Ocean near the outer reaches of the South Shetland Islands, Elephant Island has claims from not only Argentina and Chile, but also the United Kingdom. Brazil also has two shelters here that contain up to six researchers that work during the summer months.

Check out the island's wildlife on your Antarctica cruise. The island is covered with elephant seals, hence the name Elephant Island. At Cape Lookout, a bluff on the southern coast where various penguins (chinstrap, gentoo, and macaroni) call home. Other birds of note include sheathbills, cape petrels, and stormy petrels; it's also a great place to spot the elephant seals and Antarctic fur seals. The truly adventurous can explore the moss colonies, which are thought to be thousands of years old. The moss bank is not terribly far from where the Shackleton party was marooned, and is considered one of the oldest living things in the world. Your cruise to Antarctica will truly be an experience of a lifetime.
