Total Argentina: Capital, Lakes, and Glaciers — photo 1

This 7-night circuit is a journey through the soul of Argentina, designed to reveal its most fascinating contrasts. The experience begins in the cosmopolitan heart of Buenos Aires, a city of passion, history, and stately architecture. From there, the journey delves into the vastness of Patagonia, first in Bariloche, a canvas of crystal-clear lakes and snow-capped mountains, and then in El Calafate, home to the legendary Perito Moreno Glacier, a marvel of constantly moving ice. It is a journey that balances urban energy with the serenity of the purest nature.

A night of tango with dinner in the Argentine capital.
The postcard-perfect landscapes of the Circuito Chico in Bariloche.

Booking & policies

Are the prices shown net or retail?

Rates are net (wholesale) and reserved for travel agencies and tour operators, who sign in to see them and add their own margin. Public visitors see an indicative retail “from” price; the net rate is never shown outside the B2B Portal.

What happens after I book?

When you book, we receive your booking and start working on it: it shows as “In process” and we let you know of every update. Vouchers are sent once payments have been received.

What is the cancellation policy?

Cancellations follow Clause 7 of the Terms: more than 30 days before the service, no penalty and a full refund; 15 to 30 days, 25%; 8 to 14 days, 50%; 3 to 7 days, 75%; less than 72 hours before commencement or a no-show, 100%. Certain destinations — Patagonia, the Amazon region and high-demand dates in peak season — apply stricter terms, stated in the quotation. The schedule above is indicative: the conditions that apply to each booking are those stated in the quotation, and may be stricter in high season, on public holidays or where a service has its own policy.

Can dates or passenger names be changed after booking?

Amendment requests must reach RUMBO LIBRE at least 72 business hours before the service begins. Changes are managed subject to availability, and any resulting rate difference applies. For private services, a name change may require re-issuing the booking at the current rate.
