If wine tasting and a stellar view of the Andes interests you, then visit Argentina’s wine country — Mendoza! There are plenty of cheap flights to take you to the country’s most renowned and important wine region with over 1,500 vineyards; all producing a variety of wines such as Malbec, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. We suggest you consider booking a wine tour to experience all the vineyards have to offer. Most of the wineries have restaurants on premise where you can take a break from imbibing and grab something to eat. And, if you’re uninterested in visiting vineyards, there are lots of outdoor activities to try such as horseback riding, hiking, and biking.

But, if you’re more of a relaxed traveler, hop on a boat tour to get an up-close look at the massive ice glaciers at Los Glaciares National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
