Buenos Aires, Argentina – 26 September to 1 October

With classic colonial architecture, a thriving arts scene and terrace wine bars, Buenos Aires embraces the best of European and Latin American culture.

A highlight of this six-day trip will be the opportunity to immerse yourself in the vocal and passionate Argentinean crowd when the All Blacks battle the Pumas as part of the Investec Rugby Championship.

You can also enjoy Argentina’s capital through a range of unique cultural experiences such as tango and gaucho shows, which feature skilled horsemen who have been immortalised in South American art, city tours and a visit to La Boca – a neighbourhood famous for its colourful streetscapes.

If that doesn’t get you excited, you can head over the river to Uruguay and visit the Unesco World Heritage site of Colonia del Sacramento – one of the country’s oldest towns.

The package includes return economy class airfares ex Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch or Queenstown, along with airport transfers and five nights’ accommodation at the Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires.
