LGBTIQ+ NYE Program

South of the City with a Queer Twist

Hours: 11:00 - 16:00

Welcome asado dinner with Nacho Bravo

Hours: 19:00 - 23:00

The Welcome Dinner – Traditional Argentine Asado is a warm and celebratory introduction to Buenos Aires, built around one of Argentina’s most iconic social rituals: the asado. Hosted in a relaxed, convivial setting, the dinner showcases classic Argentine barbecue cuts prepared slowly over the grill, including choripán, bife de chorizo, tira de asado, and mollejas, alongside seasonal vegetables and beloved staple dishes. The meal concludes with a traditional flan con dulce de leche, honoring the comforting flavors of local home-style desserts. As with any true asado, part of the magic lies in the unexpected—the chef’s spontaneous additions, special preparations, or off-menu surprises that reflect creativity, seasonality, and mood. These small twists make each gathering unique and unrepeatable. More than a meal, this dinner is about coming together around the fire: sharing stories, easing into the group dynamic, and experiencing Argentine hospitality at its most genuine. It’s a first night designed to feel less like a formal event and more like being welcomed into someone’s home.

Buenos Aires NOC Queer + TRF OUT AEP

Hours: 10:00 - 16:00

After checking out, our 3 guides with their three buses show up at 10am to take the group to the North of the City. Is that Don’t cry for me Argentina? Yes it is! Today we’ll visit Evita ́s mausoleum at the famed Recoleta Cemetery, enjoy a posh stroll through the elegant manor lined Retiro area, check out the National Congress and wrap it all up with a walk through the Palermo area, where we’ll have lunch at a chic restaurant. Then, we’re off to AEP to catch our afternoon flight to Iguazú with our two trip coordinators, — your personal guardians of smooth logistics as we head from urban glamour into the jungle.

Iguazú Falls - Brazil Side

Hours: 10:00 - 16:00

Today we cross into Brazil to explore the panoramic side of Iguazú — the angle that gives you the full, dramatic widescreen version of the Falls. It’s the perfect counterpart to Argentina’s up-close energy: fewer surprises, more “let me show you the whole look.” We’ll follow the series of catwalks that lead toward the Devil’s Throat, stopping at generous viewpoints that really show off the scale of this place. Along the way, your guides will share the park’s history, the ecology of the region, and the small details that bring the landscape to life. Around midday, we’ll head to the Belmond Hotel das Cataratas for a relaxed buffet lunch, featuring Brazilian favorites and international dishes. And yes — caipirinhas are absolutely available, because when in Brazil, citrus and cachaça are practically cultural heritage. After lunch, we’ll enjoy a few final viewpoints before crossing back into Argentina, with the rest of the afternoon free to unwind at the hotel, take a dip, or enjoy our optional evening tours and activities.

Iguazú Falls - Argentina Side

Hours: 10:00 - 16:00

Today we explore the Argentine side of Iguazú, where the experience is all about proximity. If the Brazil side shows you the full outfit, Argentina invites you backstage — up close, in the mist, hearing the full roar of the Falls as you walk the Upper, Lower, and Devil’s Throat circuits. Throughout the day, your guides will set the pace, sharing context about the park, its wildlife, and the unique geography that makes Iguazú one of the world’s most spectacular natural landscapes. Expect boardwalks through lush jungle, butterflies everywhere, and viewpoints that make even the most camera-shy traveler take their phone out “just to capture this one.” For those seeking a bit more adrenaline, there is the option to join the Gran Aventura zodiac ride, which takes you right to the base of several falls. It’s thrilling, it’s wet, and it delivers a story you’ll be telling for years — but please note that health and age restrictions apply, and participation is only available for guests who meet the operator’s physical requirements. After completing the circuits, the rest of the afternoon is yours to enjoy: relax by the pool, take a quiet moment to watch the mist rise over the rainforest, or keep the action going with our optional tours.

Rojo Tango NYE

Hours: 10:00 - 16:00

Celebrate New Year’s Eve with dinner and tango at Rojo Tango, inside the iconic Faena Hotel in Puerto Madero. Rojo Tango is one of Buenos Aires’ most exclusive tango shows. Unlike the city’s larger tango houses, the show takes place in a small cabaret-style room, with the dancers and musicians performing just a few steps away from your table. For New Year’s Eve, Rojo Tango prepares a special celebration combining dinner, wine, champagne and its signature tango show. The evening continues through midnight, when we’ll raise a glass together to welcome the New Year in Buenos Aires. Expect excellent dancers, live music, beautiful costumes and a much more intimate setting than a traditional tango show. The production mixes classic tango with a more modern and theatrical style, while still keeping the music and dance at the center of the experience. It’s a very Buenos Aires way to finish the year: good food, plenty of wine, tango and a midnight toast.

La Bandada Full Day

Hours: 10:00 - 16:00

Leave Buenos Aires behind for a day and discover life in the Argentine countryside at La Bandada. Located in the pampas outside Buenos Aires, La Bandada is a beautiful working estancia surrounded by open fields, horses and native countryside. We’ll spend the day enjoying a much slower side of Argentina, with plenty of time to explore the property and relax away from the city. During your visit, you can discover the estancia on foot or horseback and learn more about rural life in the pampas. Depending on the season and weather, there will also be time to enjoy the gardens and pool or simply find a quiet place to relax. At lunchtime, we’ll sit down for one of Argentina’s most important traditions: an asado. Expect different cuts of Argentine meat cooked over the fire, seasonal sides, local wine and, most importantly, plenty of time around the table. This is not one of the large tourist estancia shows. La Bandada is about enjoying the countryside itself: horses, nature, food and the relaxed rhythm of a day in the pampas. After lunch and some more time at the estancia, we’ll return to Buenos Aires in the afternoon.

Farewell Dinner

Hours: 10:00 - 16:00

For our last night together, we’ll sit down for dinner at El Preferido, one of our favorite places to experience contemporary porteño food. Located in Palermo, behind its impossible-to-miss pink façade, El Preferido is a modern take on the traditional Buenos Aires bodegón. Its menu is built around the kind of food Argentines actually grew up eating: milanesas, homemade charcuterie, cheeses, vegetables, pickles and plenty of dishes made for sharing. The restaurant has been part of the neighborhood for generations, but its current kitchen takes those familiar recipes and works with excellent local ingredients and producers. The result feels very Argentine without being old-fashioned or overly formal. We’ll share a selection of dishes accompanied by Argentine wine and enjoy one final dinner together in Buenos Aires. After everything we’ve experienced during the trip, this is our chance to slow down, eat well and celebrate the journey before saying goodbye. No big production and no formal farewell ceremony — just a very good Buenos Aires restaurant, plenty of food and wine, and one last night around the table.

Queer Tango Lesson

Hours: 10:00 - 16:00

You can’t come to Buenos Aires without learning a few tango steps, but we’re going to do things a little differently. Traditional tango has historically been taught around very defined gender roles: men lead and women follow. Queer Tango breaks those rules. Instead, dancers are free to choose which role they want to take, change roles or learn both. During this private lesson, you’ll learn the basics of Argentine tango in an LGBTQ+ friendly environment. We’ll work on the embrace, the basic walk, musicality and, most importantly, how two people communicate while dancing together. You don’t need any previous experience and you definitely don’t need to be a good dancer. The idea is to have fun, learn enough to understand how tango works and experience one of Argentina’s best-known traditions from a queer perspective. Buenos Aires has played an important role in the development of Queer Tango, with LGBTQ+ dancers and organizers creating spaces where the traditional codes of tango could be questioned and reinvented. By the end of the lesson, you might not be ready to take over a Buenos Aires milonga, but you’ll understand tango a lot better — and you’ll have a few moves to take home with you.
