What’s better than a trip to beautiful Argentina? A trip to Argentina with a bunch of other queer folks! From Iguazu to Buenos Aires, you’ll be having a fantastic time with a new group of friends. On this eight night gay Argentina trip, we have a range of amazing activities planned, including visiting one of the 7 Natural wonders of the world, Plaza de Mayo, a queer tango class full of culture, and attending and being on a float at Buenos Aires Pride, one of the largest pride parades in the world. It will be an amazing trip full of community, culture, and pride.
You’ll arrive at the EZE airport in the morning and be greeted by our local tour coordinator. In the afternoon you’ll get a connect to AEP airport and board a flight to Iguazu. You’ll dine on a delicious welcome dinner at Iguazu Hotel in the evening, and then rest up for the exciting days ahead.
Today we set off to explore the Argentine side of one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World. We’ll walk through the superior circuit and visit Garganta del Diablo during the morning. This area has one of the most distinctive and extraordinary terrains. The water falls so intensely here that vapor clouds and rainbows are common occurrences. Beautiful birds that are unique to the area, vencejos, fly around the falls. With over 160 falls filling beautiful scenery, you’ll definitely understand why this is named one of the 7 Natural Wonders.
After a quick break for lunch, we set off to get intimate with the falls at the Gran Aventura Boat ride, where we’ll take Zodiacs up to the bottom of the falls: prepare to get soaked!
In the morning we’ll take a tour of the Brazilian side of these breathtaking waterfalls. While looking over panoramic views of the falls from this perspective, you’ll get a more rounded, 360 view of this monumental site.
We’ll then have a stunning buffet lunch at Belmond Iguazu. This lunch is a 3 course meal that you’ll enjoy while looking out into the Brazilian rainforest. The sounds of the falls and the melodic birds will surround you as you dine on delectable options, including fusion dishes and barbeque.
After lunch, we’ll fly out of Cataratas del Iguazú International Airport, and arrive at the Buenos Aires Hotel in the evening.
Today, we’ll travel through the colonial city center and the immigrant quarters of Buenos Aires while you discover the story of how Argentina became one of the queer-friendliest countries in the world. Together we’ll explore Plaza de Mayo, San Telmo, La Boca, and Puerto Madero. The Plaza de Mayo is a center of history, rebellion, and hope. La Boca is famous for its colorful neighborhood, being the home for renowned sports team, Boca Juniors, and its rich tango history. Puerto Madero has wondrous skyscrapers, upscale restaurants, hot clubs, and a booming shopping district. You’ll be sure to have an enriching experience full of culture and life.
The North of the city also has a lot to offer, including the upscale, northern neighborhoods of Buenos Aires: Recoleta, Retiro and Palermo. We’ll start with a visit to the dark gem of Buenos Aires: the Recoleta Cemetery, before checking out the immense manors built by the elites of Argentina’s gilded age.
Activist and philanthropist, Eva Perón, is buried in the Recoleta Cemetery, and there are always flowers on her grave as respect and honor towards her life. It’s a fascinating history and part of Buenos Aires culture that you’ll get to learn about while in the area.
Retiro is a peaceful neighborhood with art galleries, museums, shopping, and beautiful architecture.
Palermo is a very hip city. Trees and artwork line the streets. There’s also a strong amount of gay nightlife to explore and have a great time in.
Let’s set sail to the islands of Tigre, a natural haven an hour away from the city where thousands of islands are crossed by lazy rivers and canals. We’ll take a private boat to navigate for an hour in beautiful landscapes before arriving at a cabin where we’ll eat some picada while we cook an asado, the traditional barbecue of Argentina.
It will be the perfect opportunity to unwind in a gorgeous area, catch up with your new friends and take in all the beauty and adventure we’ve had so far. You’ll be able to swim in the magnificent water and eat a delicious meal together.
Join us for a private lesson of tango dancing. Tango is very important to the culture in Buenos Aires. Beginning in the streets, the tango was popular among sex workers and the lower and working class. It was sexual, lustful, and seductive. When dictatorships and prohibition were at large in Argentina, the dance went underground. It later re-emerged in the 1980’s and gained popularity throughout the world.
In this new generation, traditional gender roles are bent to give birth to the Queer Tango scene. We will learn fluid and changing roles for dancing at a Cuir Tango Studio. Our teacher and two assistants will help us get our footing before heading out to the milonga, the traditional tango dancehall. Excitement, culture, and energy will be felt throughout the room. And if you’d rather not partake, you’re more than welcome to watch and support those dancing!
Tickets to the milonga, wine, and round transportation are included.
It’s time for Buenos Aires Pride! You’ll be free to go to the rally and party the night out. Buenos Aires Pride is one of the largest pride parades in the world, and as part of our trip, you’ll have the opportunity to be on the Fiesta Rose Girls float. This parade is truly a march and celebration for the people. There are little to no big corporations as the community runs and partakes in the parade. People line the streets, with street vendors and support all around. You’ll feel the strong sense of community and belonging as we make our way through the crowds.
We’ll also go to Fiesta Rose Girls, which is one of the largest parties for queer women in the world. With around 1500 queer women at a high production valued event with alcohol, a DJ, and dancers, this is a night you won’t want to miss.
Free Day! You’re welcome to take the time to explore on your own, with those you came with, or any new friends you made before heading back home! We’ll be transferring out to EZE airport in the evening.
