How difficult are the activities in my Argentina itinerary?

Abril 13, 2023

When embarking on travel, particularly outdoor and adventure trips, understanding the nature of your activities can pose a challenge. Determining the level of difficulty during a hike or assessing the required experience and fitness can be perplexing. But don’t panic! This guide provides the clarification you’re looking for to settle any doubts.

Easy activities

If you’re not the adventurous type or just want to take it easy for a few days in Argentina, there are plenty of laid-back activities to choose from. An ‘easy’ activity typically involves 1-2 hours of leisurely walking with gentle inclines or a similar level of intensity. If you can cover a couple of miles and handle 3-4 flights of stairs, you’re good to go. These activities often include stops to explore points of interest or indulge in some local food. Discover the hidden treasures of Buenos Aires through a guided walking or bike city tour, where you’ll immerse yourself in the local culture, art, and cuisine. Alternatively, spend some time in the northern highlands, delving into their traditions and cultures.

Choosing the more relaxed option doesn’t have to mean to missing out on the beautiful sights. Numerous locations are reachable by transport, providing an excellent alternative for travelers with injuries or disabilities. Feel free to inquire with your sales representative about substituting a kayaking adventure at the Perito Moreno glacier for a boat trip or switching a hike in El Chalten park for a road trip.

Moderate activities

Engaging in moderate activities will elevate your heart rate slightly and provide a deeper connection with nature. These experiences typically extend over 3-4 hours and require a moderate level of fitness. To fully enjoy a moderate hike, ensure you can walk at least 3 miles and climb 5-6 flights of stairs comfortably. Expect some incline on these treks as you immerse yourself in the natural surroundings.

Besides its incredible wildlife and the spectacular boardwalks around the falls, you can also enjoy some incredible outdoor activities in Iguazú. Try biking along the Yaguarate route or kayaking at nearby La Lorenza Nature Reserve.

Difficult activities

For those seeking adventure and possessing more experience, get ready for the adrenaline rush of tackling some of the world’s most coveted hikes and routes. These are full-day excursions demanding a significant level of fitness – you should comfortably manage walking 8 miles and climbing up to 10 flights of stairs. If you’re up for the challenge, the rewards are undoubtedly worth the effort!

Among the most iconic treks in Patagonia falls into this category. The Laguna Torres trek is definitely not for the faint-hearted. In addition to the considerable length of the route (17.5 km/10.9 mi) and the challenging climb, hikers frequently encounter strong winds and unpredictable weather, putting both physical endurance and mental resilience to the test. Nevertheless, the sense of accomplishment and the breathtaking views at the summit make this trek one of the most sought-after and popular in Argentina.

Another great place to enjoy some spectacular hikes is in Argentina’s lake region. Here you can discover hidden treasures, like Esquel and Los Alerces National Park or the picturesque Bariloche. But if you’re looking for something a little off the beaten path, head to Los Huemules Reserve to hike La Torta Hill to enjoy an unforgettable 360-degree view of the Andes mountains at the top.
