Vamonos!: Argentina is Always Better with the Kids

All Smiles: More parents are discovering the joy of exploring Argentina with the whole family.

Anyone who has spent time in Argentina can tell you the high priority that’s placed on family time, especially quality time with the kids. On weekends, city clubs and parks around Buenos Aires and throughout the country swell with parents relaxing and kids running everywhere playing futbol, roller hockey, tennis, golf and, yes, even polo.

No surprise then that Argentina comes up, not once, but three times in a Luxist interview with the founder of My Little Swans, a travel website for families who want to plan unforgettable holidays with the kids.

The Australia-born, California-based founder and mother of three, Katrina Garnett, has been traveling the globe with her children for 15 years. She says Argentina, where “we got to hike glaciers, ride horses across the pampas, zipline through the rainforest and rappel down waterfalls,” was one of her kids’ two favorite destinations.

And even if you’re not planning a family trip, she says big kids can find lots of cool toys down here on the Pampas: “In the fall, my husband, who’s an avid art collector, and I are going with a few other friends on an art-themed trip to Argentina and Brazil.” Garnett says the favorable exchange rate is ample incentive for future travelers who can expect “plenty of exceptional luxury accommodations ranging from elegant hotels in Buenos Aires to big estancias in the countryside.”
