Day 1 - Invigorating Start in the Argentinian Heartland

General Roca greets you on your first day with its delightful charm. Let's start off by basking in the city center's warm and inviting atmosphere.

After a heartening lunch in one of the local 'parrillas', we head off for a leisurely stroll alongside the Negro River, presenting us picturesque views that would make an artist sigh. To wrap up the day, sip on a glass of 'Malbec' at a nearby wine bar to kick-start the Argentinian wine adventure.

Day 2 is a love letter to wine enthusiasts and culture vultures. We hit the road to Agrestis, an organic vineyard nearby General Roca. Here you'll find yourself amidst a kaleidoscope of grapevines, bewildered by the art of winemaking. Following a tasting session and a delightful vineyard lunch, we head back to the city for some culture fuel at the Arts Museum. Filled with a diverse collection of Argentinian art, the place is sheer paradise for artists and enthusiasts alike. To call it a day, how about a live performance at the Cultural Center? From flamboyant tango to buoyant folklorico, the center is a hub of vibrant performances that weave the story of Argentina's lively culture.

We begin with an early morning bike ride around the city, followed by a hearty breakfast in a local cafe. The afternoon calls for a leisure picnic at Paso Cordova, a captivating locale by the Negro River boasting panoramic views of the steppe and the river basin. As the sun sets, we head towards the Aragon Theater to catch one of their acclaimed plays. Our incredible 3-day adventure comes to an end with a quiet dinner under the starlit Argentinian sky, bidding adieu with a promise to return.
