Buenos Aires & Santiago: A Journey of Romance, Culture & Culinary Discovery in South America

Buenos Aires and Santiago are two of South America's most captivating cities, electric, romantic, and full of culture, history, and incredible food. As a South America travel specialist, I pair these two destinations into one unforgettable journey tailored just for you.

Buenos Aires, Argentina: The Paris of South America

  • Buenos Aires is where European elegance meets Latin passion. Stunning architecture, vibrant neighborhoods, and tango culture make it a city unlike any other. Don't miss:
  • Explore the elegant Recoleta neighborhood: home to stunning Belle Époque architecture, world-class museums, and the iconic Recoleta Cemetery
  • Wander the cobblestone streets of San Telmo, Buenos Aires' oldest neighborhood, filled with antique markets, tango bars, and authentic parrillas
  • Discover trendy Palermo: the city's most vibrant district with boutique shops, rooftop bars, and a buzzing food scene
  • Experience an authentic tango show and dinner: a deeply moving cultural tradition that defines the spirit of Argentina
  • Visit the colorful La Boca neighborhood and the legendary Café Tortoni, Buenos Aires' oldest and most beloved café

Santiago, Chile: Where the Andes Meet Urban Sophistication

Set against the snow-capped Andes, Santiago blends modern energy with deep cultural roots. Cosmopolitan, walkable, and full of incredible food and history. My must-dos:

  • Stroll through the historic Plaza de Armas and visit the stunning Metropolitan Cathedral at the heart of the city
  • Explore the bohemian Bellavista neighborhood: Santiago's artistic soul, full of colorful murals, rooftop terraces, and the home of poet Pablo Neruda
  • Take a cable car up Cerro San Cristóbal for breathtaking panoramic views of the city and the Andes
  • Day trip to the Colchagua Valley: Chile's premier wine region, for private Carménère tastings amid stunning vineyard landscapes
  • Discover the vibrant Mercado Central for the freshest seafood in the city, paired with a chilled glass of Chilean white wine

What Foods and Drinks Should You Try?

The food journey across these two cities is extraordinary!

In Buenos Aires, a traditional asado paired with a bold Mendoza Malbec is an absolute must, along with empanadas, provoleta, and dulce de leche in every form. YUM!! 

In Santiago, fresh ceviche, pastel de choclo, and the most incredible seafood you have ever tasted await. Wash it all down with Chile's beloved Carménère or a crisp Casablanca Sauvignon Blanc. The food alone is worth the flight! ????

When Is the Best Time to Visit Buenos Aires & Santiago?

The best time to visit is September through November or March through May. My insider tip? Go in October, Buenos Aires is blanketed in purple jacaranda blossoms and Santiago's weather is absolutely perfect. ¡Perfecto! ??

My Promise to You

My promise to you is: I will handle every detail from take-off to home sweet home so you can simply enjoy every moment. 

Whether you are seeking romance, culture, or a culinary adventure, I will design a journey that is completely yours.

Great trip to Spain!
Reviewed By Frank - Fort Lauderdale , FL | Traveled to Madrid ~ Spain ~ Europe
Lillian was amazing to work with. She was very attentive and available whenever I had a question about our trip to Spain. My wife and I had a great time in Madrid. Everything was perfect from the luxury hotel, to the city walking tour, and even the recommendation to wear comfortable shoes, to eating delicious Spanish food. We would definitely work with Lillian again in the future. We highly recommend her!
Lillian Cedeno responded
"Frank, It was my pleasure working with you and your lovely wife. Madrid is a wonderful city and I am very happy you were able to experience it. I am glad you remembered to wear comfortable shoes for the walking tour, it makes a big difference. Thank you for your kind words and recommendation. I look forward to your next trip as well. Where would you like to go?"

Awesome Ireland
Reviewed By Mark - Green Cove Springs, Florida | Traveled to Ireland ~ Europe
Book an Ireland trip through Lillian. The whole process was great, from planning to completing the trip we always felt that she was looking out for us. Great communication and service. We started the process with an interview about what we were looking for in this trip ( slow paced, fast paced, more planned activities or more winging it). She sent us an itinerary for review and booked it once we approved the itinerary. At one point we decided to upgrade one of our flights (no problem) and during the trip one of the attractions was closed when we got there (Lillian got us a refund for that). The trip was an awesome 18 day (including travel days) trip from Dublin then south around to Galway.
Lillian Cedeno responded
"Thank you for your kind review! I'm so glad to hear you had such a fantastic experience in Ireland. It's wonderful to know that you felt well-cared for throughout the entire process, from initial planning to the end of your trip. I am committed to providing top-notch service and ensuring my clients have the best possible travel experiences. I look forward to assisting you with future travel plans!"

The Best Vacation Yet!
Reviewed By Michelle - Orlando, Florida | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
Our vacation was planes, trains, cruise ships, automobiles, kayaks and 2 different coach buses.. Lillian made our dream Alaskan vacation effortless. Everything was booked, scheduled and organized for us. She followed up with me to ensure we had everything we needed to travel. She thought of all the things I didn’t and then followed to make sure I didn’t forget. She took the time to understand my family, in order to help book our dream vacation and she definitely knocked it out of the park! I couldn’t be more thankful to you Lillian.. We all had a great time, we have great photos and best of all, some much needed family time and memories.
Lillian Cedeno responded
"It absolutely makes my day to hear that your Alaskan vacation was everything you dreamed of! I'm thrilled it all went smoothly for your family. Hearing that I was able to take the stress off and create lasting memories for your family truly warms my heart. That's what makes this job so rewarding! Family time and photos are the best souvenirs, and I'm so happy I could play a part in making that happen. Thank you again for your kind words. I would love to help you plan your next adventure!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

A Dream Come True!
Reviewed By Brooke - Chicago, IL | Traveled to Sorrento ~ Italy ~ Europe
Lily is both a calming force and a powerhouse travel pro. An avid traveler herself, she knows her stuff, yet presents the options without the overwhelm and stress that oftentimes accompanies trip planning. Lily skillfully crafted our family vacation to the Amalfi coast that had both interactive experiences and days of leisure. There's something so comforting having all of the minute details planned so you can just enjoy your time. Traveling to Europe as a family of 5 is not easy...rooms are small, and often do not accommodate us well. Lily chose the perfect hotels that were both comfortable and beautiful. She also selected incredible excursions for us to enjoy as a family that kept things interesting, fun and stress fee! I highly recommend Lily for any of your upcoming travel needs!
Lillian Cedeno responded
"Wow, this is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this. It means a lot! I know how overwhelming trip planning can be, so I'm thrilled I could take that stress away. Family vacations, especially to Europe, can be tricky – those rooms can be tiny! I'm happy that the hotels and excursions were to your liking and you all had a blast. Seriously, this makes my day! If you're ever thinking about another adventure, I'd love to help plan your next dream trip.""
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

First Time in Italy!
It was my first time in Italy and it was amazing!! It was everything I expected and more. We visited Milan, Rome, Modena, Capri, and Positano (Amalfi Coast). Lillian took care of all the trip details, from first-class airfare, private airport transfer, 5-star hotels, private excursions, and even dinner reservations. We had an olive oil tasting, a boat ride along the Amalfi Coast, a balsamic vinegar tasting, a tour of each place, and lunch at a local farmhouse. I highly recommend Lillian, as she did not overlook anything. I would use her services on future trips. Lillian truly made my first time visiting Italy an unforgettable experience!
