Argentina Pura

A Tailor-Made Argentina Specialist

Argentina Pura designs tailor-made trips within Argentina, with no fixed group departures. Its About page says the company was founded in 2021 by Nicolas Iemolo and that "Argentina Pura SL was established as a licensed travel agency in Spain, so every trip is protected under European consumer law." The regional pages show the license line "Licensed tour operator, CIF B67787275 · C.I.AN 297593-3." The trips themselves are delivered by what the About page calls "an operations team in Argentina that runs the trips on the ground," with local guides, drivers and coordinators, plus "a short list of providers in each region" for hotels, lodges and estancias. So it is a planner and agency with its own ground team rather than a marketplace.

The destination menu covers Patagonia (El Calafate, El Chaltén, Ushuaia, Puerto Madryn and Bariloche) and the rest of Argentina (Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls, Mendoza and Salta), with further pages for Jujuy and the Iberá Wetlands and a separate Antarctica section. The homepage also features one trip across the border in Chile, Torres del Paine: Classic W Self-Guided Tour with Shelters, a 6 Day Trip on what it calls the challenging W Circuit. The Argentina overview page counts 41 tours for Patagonia, 18 for the Central Andes and Wine Country, 41 for Buenos Aires and the Pampas, 5 for the Northwest and 20 for the Northeast.

Trips by Region, Length and Theme

Beyond regions, the menu sorts trips by length (weekend trips and 1, 2 and 3-week trips), by experience (whale watching, wine tours, penguins, ski trips and all-inclusive vacations) and by type (adventure, private, sightseeing, cultural, family, guided, luxury and wildlife), plus a section for seniors.

The Salta page lays out five northwest trips with prices per person "from, for the 2026 to 2027 season." A 4-Day Trip to Salta and Jujuy, covering Salta, Purmamarca and the Quebrada de Humahuaca, starts from 488 €. Adventure in Salta and Jujuy runs 5 days from 555 €. Vuelta a Las Alturas and Cafayate adds the Quebrada de las Conchas and the highest vineyards in Argentina, around 1.700 m, for 5 days from 879 €. Salta and Tolar Grande goes up onto the puna, above 3.500 m, for 6 days from 1.406 €. The Absolute North trip covers the whole northwest in 9 days from 2.474 €, with rest days built in.

The El Chaltén page does the same for Patagonia's trekking village. A 3 Day Classic Chalten trip starts from 566 €, a guided Chaltén Classic over 3 days from 958 €, an Active Chaltén trip of 4 days, walking Laguna de los Tres and Laguna Torre at your own pace, from 459 €, a guided 5-day camping trip with a night at the foot of Fitz Roy from 2.236 €, and the private Luxury Chaltén over 6 days from 3.382 €. The page notes that both big trails start at the edge of the village and that Laguna de los Tres takes eight to nine hours with a steep final stretch.

How the Company Advises on the Day

The regional pages are unusually frank. The Salta page explains that the Quebrada roads sit between 2.000 and 3.000 m, which it calls "noticeable, and fine for most travellers," and that the puna "asks more of the body," so the company schedules it after the Quebrada to let the altitude build gradually; it adds "Check the altitude with your doctor if in doubt."

The same page gives the northwest's seasons: dry from April to October, with 10 to 16 wet days a month from November to March, when the Quebrada carnival takes place in January or February. The company recommends the dry months, with days around 18 °C and cold nights in June and July, and says the wet season is worth it only for the carnival: "Go for the carnival, not for the weather." The El Chaltén page adds a little history, noting the village was built in 1985 to hold a border and grew into the trekking capital of Argentina, which is why two nights there already give two full walking days.

The About page promises a named team: "From first email to airport goodbye, the same small team is assigned to your trip," with "No call centers, no ticket numbers." It says the hotels, wineries and connections it recommends have been checked in person by its own team, and it promises honest advice: "If a season, route, or lodge is not right for you, we say so." A content writer, Paula Brandi, writes the destination guides, which the founder reviews.

Booking and Terms

Every trip is quoted individually. The pages stress that the per-person prices are "from" figures and that "Per day is a comparison aid, not how the trip is billed." The quote form asks for travel date, number of travelers, region (Buenos Aires, Patagonia, Iguazú and Iberá, wine country, Salta and Jujuy, or Antarctica) and ideas, and the site promises an answer "within 24 hours, humans only." Each regional page also carries a Questions section, a What's Included section and a Compare Trips tool. The footer gives a Spanish phone number, +34 951 637 702, an email address and a Terms & Conditions page, and describes the business as an "Empresa de Viajes · Mayorista-Minorista" (a wholesale and retail travel company).

The regional and About pages do not set out deposits, payment methods or cancellation terms, and the regional overviews do not spell out what each trip includes.

The Founder and Who It Suits

The About page traces the founder's path: tourism studies at CEPEC in Buenos Aires from 2003, selling trips at a local agency, five years hosting guests at the Achaval Ferrer winery in Mendoza from 2008, and co-founding SAK Wine & Travel, a Mendoza wine-tourism agency, in 2009. It describes him as a licensed tour guide and says the company stays "deliberately small."

Argentina Pura suits travelers who want a private or small-party trip built around one theme, whether wine, trekking, wildlife or food, with honest advice on altitude and seasons and published starting prices to budget from. It suits less well anyone who wants to join a scheduled group departure with strangers or needs its cancellation terms in writing before sending an enquiry.
