Upcoming departures to Argentina. Each group has its own host, dates, and itinerary. The route below is our standard.
Buenos Aires, San Miguel, Tigre, Luján, San Nicolás de los Arroyos, Córdoba and Alta Gracia.
This twelve-day route is built around one man’s life, and it is the only one of ours that reaches the Jesuit Block at Córdoba where he spent two hidden years. Your group travels on its own dates, and the itinerary can be adjusted to fit the time you have and the places that matter most to your pilgrims.
“Canterbury treats you like family! They handle everything, from creating exciting itineraries to managing calls, registrations, and payments.”
Patrick MadridTell us the window you have in mind and we will build the itinerary around it: the time you have, and the places that matter most to your pilgrims.

“They’re big enough to handle any problem that arises, and small enough to craft truly unique experiences.”
Chris StefanickGroups travel all year. Argentina sits in the southern hemisphere, so its summer runs from December through February and its winter from June through August, and Buenos Aires is mildest in spring and autumn. The Sierras de Córdoba are cooler than the capital in every season. The shrines receive pilgrims year round.
Moderate. Most days involve two to four hours on your feet, with walking on uneven ground, ancient stone, and steps at archaeological sites. Pilgrims who can manage a full day of sightseeing at their own pace do well. If anyone in your group has mobility limitations, tell us early and we will adapt the days around them. What activity level means.
Travel insurance, lunches, drinks beyond those served with included meals, personal expenses, and gratuities for your tour manager and driver. Any of these can be built into your package on request, so tell us what you would like covered and we will arrange it. Passports and visa fees are the one exception and remain the responsibility of each pilgrim.
United States citizens need a passport and do not need a visa for a short stay in Argentina. This route stays within one country throughout and includes two internal flights between Buenos Aires and Córdoba. We confirm the current entry requirements for each group before travel.
Yes. Daily Mass is built into the itinerary, and we arrange times and locations in advance with each church. Your priest should travel with a celebret or letter of good standing from his bishop or superior. We handle the scheduling.
Most of our groups are between 20 and 50 pilgrims, and we can arrange smaller tours as well. We have also organized pilgrimages for groups as large as 2,500, so whatever size your group turns out to be, we can build for it. Minimum group size for a group flight.
