ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – The time is now to start planning a special culinary and wine exploration to the “Paris of South America” – Buenos Aires. Alma Quest Travel is now accepting a limited number of reservations for a special adventure trip to Argentina, featuring stops in Mendoza along with the capital of the country.
“Experience an adventure of leaving the familiar Latin American countries and journey to South America to discover a new culture, fantastic cuisine and of course some great wines,” said Elena C. Jones, owner of Alma Quest Travel. “During our excursion we will enjoy some great Argentine hospitality.”
Having grown up in Buenos Aires, Jones offers a local’s perspective of Argentina for American tourists. This unique perspective allows travelers to enjoy a unique view of the country and lifestyle that is rare among travel and tour firms.
“Many companies offer tours but they contract with firms in Argentina that give the standard cookie-cutter tourist view,” she said. “Because I grew up there, I know where to go to experience the best culinary and wine tour the culture can offer while avoiding many of the tourist traps.”
The journey starts on March 19, flying to Buenos Aires. The first two days are spent enjoying some of the local cuisine in the capital city. The next day is spent in Mendoza, a city at the foothills of the Andes Mountains known as a wine center of the country. From that point the true wine excursion begins with four days of great wine and food sampling, including participating in a real harvest. On March 27, travelers will return back to the United States with plenty of stories to tell about their adventure.
“It’s an action packed eight days of fun, food and great wine,” Jones said. “It makes a perfect holiday gift for someone that has it all, or is a real ‘foodie’ at heart.”
The total price for the adventure of a lifetime to Argentina is only $2854.50 based on double occupancy. The price includes room accommodations, seven breakfasts, six lunches, six dinners, plenty of snacks and tour guides.
