11 Day Buenos Aires & Uruguay's Atlantic Coast
Premium Private Guided Tour
European-inspired architecture, flavorful wines, and stylish retreats meet intoxicating tango rhythms, balmy climes, and raw nature at the mouth of the Río de la Plata. From Buenos Aires’ sultry allure to bustling Montevideo and the calm embrace of nature in Punta del Este, this experience blends the very best of Argentina’s biggest city with Uruguay’s under-explored gems.
We begin in Buenos Aires, the grand Argentinian capital. After getting settled, head out with a private guide to witness stunning examples of early 20th-century architecture. Later, step outside the city and back in time to BA’s golden age on a tour of a private estancia, then return downtown to explore the chic San Telmo and La Boca districts before taking in a tango show over dinner at the famous Café de los Angelitos.
Across the Río de la Plata lies your next stop: Montevideo. With the help of a private guide, you’ll explore the Uruguayan capital’s magnificently restored Ciudad Vieja ("Old City") and the impressive Plaza Independencia before enjoying a delicious lunch at Mercado del Puerto. Uruguay’s emerging wine scene takes center-stage later on a private visit to Juanico Winery, the country’s finest vineyard, where you’ll be treated to a tour of the grounds and cellar before partaking in an exclusive wine-tasting over lunch.
The tour draws to a close in the exclusive resort town of Punta del Este. Best known as the preferred escape for Buenos Aires’ elite, your time here begins with a nature-themed excursion to Cabo Polonio, a secluded wilderness that’s home to sea lions, pristine beaches, and remote islands. There’ll be plenty of time to take advantage of your relaxed surroundings later on a free day in Punta del Este, with which you can explore the coastal town, browse the market stalls, or simply unwind on the beach before returning to Montevideo and home.

What really matters to us
We aim to develop long term relationships – with our clients, our partners and, especially, with the communities we visit regularly. As such, our business is built on giving back. We are dedicated to preserving the land, oceans and cultures that compel us to travel.
We believe that both the customized, private-guided tours that we design and the giving partnerships we undertake should be inspiring and impactful. Our charitable initiatives are rooted in exploration, education and environmental awareness.
Encouraging exploration
A yearning for adventure and new discoveries around the globe is at the heart of all that we do. Kensington is an official travel partner of The Explorers Club, a prestigious professional society supporting research and education in the physical, natural and biological sciences.
We also support a group of intrepid storytellers from around the globe. Part of our Explorers In Residence program, these writers, photographers and filmmakers are committed to furthering our understanding of this planet and its people.
Fostering education
We believe offering access to education is one of the most powerful ways we can make a global impact. Kensington Cares is an initiative designed to support education in developing countries, including Kenya, Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Our efforts have helped to fund the opening of two schools in the Masai Mara: Oloosinon Primary School and Kensington Hall.
Funding environmental initiatives
We’re focused on supporting research and data collection efforts that will affect change, especially when it comes to conservation. As a founding partner of Nekton, Kensington has made an important commitment to the research and conservation of the deep ocean, our planet's last great frontier.
In accordance with 30x30, Nekton collects data and samples to set a baseline of information for the previously unexplored deep-sea waters of the Indian Ocean.
