Argentina, Chile and Brazil by Private Jet

Combine colossal glaciers, mighty waterfalls and wide-open plains. Add sensuous tango, tantalizing Malbec wine and a dash of European flair. This is Argentina, a mélange of elements best experienced with A&K. Arrive in the nation’s capital, Buenos Aires, a modern metropolis buzzing with energy, and settle into your hotel with guaranteed early check-in. Explore fascinating Recoleta and tour the treasured Colón Theatre, venturing behind the scenes. Gather for a reception and festive welcome dinner.

View some of the city’s modern street art in La Boca and Barracas, which are steeped in art and history, and home to some of the most spectacular murals in the city. This experience provides an in-depth look at the effect of politics, economics and social change on Buenos Aires street art and activism to foster a greater understanding of how the city’s history has influenced public expression. Experience a private tango demonstration and receive a lesson from performers at the famed Rojo Tango cabaret. Delight in dinner and a tango show at this intimate venue.

Journey into the countryside to an estancia (ranch) for a polo lesson and to try your hand at swinging a mallet, or opt for a carriage or bicycle ride through the surrounding landscapes instead. For lunch, savor asado (barbecue), a favorite of porteños (Buenos Aires locals).

Fly south by private charter to Puerto Natales in windswept Chilean Patagonia, arriving in time for lunch at your hotel. Take advantage of the wide range of activities and expeditions available in varying grades of difficulty and duration. Chile is a playground for lovers of the great outdoors, a country blessed with limitless deserts, ancient volcanoes and emerald lakes — all backdropped by the magnificent Andes Mountains.

Discover Chile’s Patagonia, where thousand-year-old ice fields meet native forests and the mountains disappear into the Pacific. Cross windswept plains to Torres del Paine National Park — a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve renowned for its otherworldly landscape of granite spires and deserted pampas. See the serrated Torres del Paine mountains and scan their peaks, where you might pick out a soaring Andean condor riding an updraft. After dinner, simply relax or marvel at the Patagonian night sky, awash with starlight.

Breathe in the crystaline air as you embark from your hotel’s pier, bound for the Balmaceda and Serrano glaciers, passing colonies of sea lions that bark and loll in the sun and other wild species along the way. Go ashore in the Bernardo O’Higgins National Park for a short hike to the Serrano Glacier viewpoint, observing the mammoth blue-ice sheet and learning about its formation. Sail on to behold the Balmaceda Glacier. Finish at a local estancia for lunch, then go hiking or horseback riding. Dinner is accompanied by superb Chilean wines.

Fly by private charter to Argentina’s famed Mendoza wine region. From the mystique of its Malbec wines to the majesty of its high-desert expanses at the foot of the Andes, Mendoza is blessed with warm, sunny days and cool, grape-nurturing nights, yielding vintages that appeal to diverse and discerning palates. For lunch, indulge in a wine pairing dining experience at Angelica Cocina, a Red and Green Michelin-starred restaurant located within the iconic Catena Zapata winery. Continue to the Uco Valley, widely considered one of the top wine regions in Mendoza and all Argentina, and check in your luxury resort set on a 1,500-acre private vineyard.

Step into the shoes of a winemaker on an interactive and creative experience, tasting different varietals, blending your unique wine and label. Continue to Piedra Infinita, recipient of the awarded for “most beautiful winery in the world”.

Partake in a cooking lesson led by a chef who introduces you to the secrets of Argentinian cuisine. Savor your creation for lunch, relaxing beside a fire amid the vineyards, cocktail in hand. Dine tonight at a restaurant in Gualtallary that captures the essence of mountain wines and cuisine with every bite.

Fly to Iguazu, landing on the Argentine side of Iguazu Falls. Taller than Niagara Falls and twice as wide, they straddle the border between Argentina and Brazil. Explore the Argentine side of the falls and walk along pathways to the top of the waterfalls to take in spectacular views. Brave a suspended platform at the brink of Devil’s Throat, the park’s largest cascade, to experience the power of the water up close. Cross the border to your hotel on the Brazilian side. If the sky is clear, explore the falls by moonlight and perhaps view a lunar rainbow.

Experience Iguazu Falls from the Brazilian side. Thanks to exclusive park access, enter before regular operating hours, descending a canyon trail for panoramic views, and then board a glass elevator to a platform for a new perspective. A private boat takes you right up to the bottom of the falls to feel the true force of this natural wonder. Board a helicopter for an exhilarating flight that reveals the falls from a whole new perspective. Tonight’s memorable dinner is a culinary journey through Brazilian culture in the care of a celebrated local chef.

After a morning with free time, fly by private charter to São Paulo, Brazil, where you connect with your departing flight.
