ArgentinaTravel Agent Expert

Argentina is a large, diverse country located in South America, known for its rich culture, stunning landscapes, and passionate people. It stretches from the southern tip of the continent to the subtropical regions in the north. Famous for its tango music and dance, Argentina is also renowned for its beef, wine, and football (soccer). Major landmarks include the Andes mountains, the Pampas grasslands, and the Iguazu Falls. Buenos Aires, the capital, is a vibrant city blending European influences with Latin American energy.   


The best time to visit Argentina is during spring (October to December) and fall (March to May) when the weather is mild and pleasant, ideal for exploring cities and nature. Summer (December to February) is great for beach trips, while winter (June to August) is perfect for skiing in the Andes.

Another fabulous trip!
Rey has booked several domestic and international trips for me over the years. Each time the experience was fantastic. Rey is not only a knowledgeable and experienced travel agent, he is patient with groups and always provides stellar customer service. The resorts are always fabulous and his recommendations on what to do when we arrive at our destinations make my vacations more enjoyable. I’ve counted on Rey to book fabulous vacations for over 10 years and he always delivers the best. I’ve always enjoyed the individual attention and care Rey provides his clients. He understands the apprehension that comes along with trying new places and is thorough and accommodating as a result. He’s also great at making suggestions on future vacations and I’ve never been disappointed when I follow his suggestions. Rey will remain my travel confidante for many years to come. He’s the best, hands down!

We have worked with Rey for many years and have always enjoyed the experience. Most of our travel has been river cruises in Europe but last year we did a trip to South Africa. Rey is very thoughtful, thorough and responsive.

Rey and the Almeda Travel family have been so good to my family in assisting us in all of our travel needs/goals from beginning to return. Rey has shown nothing but the utmost professionalism, patience,guidance, and quality service that is so difficult to find these days. We have trusted Almeda Travel for the last 5-6 years for our vacations and will continue to do so, I also strongly recommend if you’re looking for an agent/team that is knowledgeable and consumer responsive go with Almeda Travel!
