Nature in Argentina: outdoor audio tours
Landscapes make more sense with someone telling you what you’re looking at: how it formed, who got there first, what changed. These tours in Argentina go through parks, lakes and viewpoints, and the voice starts by itself at each stop.
This list has 8 tours, from 2 h to 8 h long (the shortest is “Tandil: la ciudad de las piedras”). 1 on foot, 3 by bike, 6 by car.
The tours are written and narrated in Spanish; the app is in English and can translate a tour when you open it. Tour names below are shown in their original language.
