All of our programs are tailor-made for each client. Taking into account budget and special interests of each group, we brainstorm for creative ideas to make each program a unique and memorable experience. However, we have prepared different general program options to better illustrate the diversity of possibilities Argentina can offer and Mai10 can create.

4.-The Argentine Estancias - Buenos Aires
Experience Argentina from its very roots combining
City and Country Life (7 days).

In Argentina the extensive rural estates devoted largely to cattle ranching and to growing grain, are called estancias. They have helped to define the country's spiritual, economic and social heritage. The architectural development of the Argentine estancia evolved into the construction of grand European-style mansions, true rural palaces of European inspiration that even today preserve the beauty of their lines without altering the old Creole traditions. Styles range from spartan adobe Colonial to baroque, from Moorish to French and Italian Renaissance. Some have ballrooms, Old Master paintings, twenty-foot dining tables, two dozen bedrooms, European formal gardens, parks full of red stag for hunting, rivers full of trout for fishing, and polo fields. Some overlook their own glacier or twenty-mile-long lake on land that comprise archaeological sites, entire mountain ranges and river valleys. Each Estancia has its own soul and is the ideal way to acquire in-depth knowledge of the roots of the country, by sharing their lives and customs, where peace and hospitality are as natural as the landscape itself.

Mai10 represents a selection of the premier Argentine Estancias and Special Destinations and believes they are a unique invitation to discover the history and culture of this ever-suprising land. Although their capacity is limited (8 to 30 guests), why not use these wonderful destinations to create a truly memorable incentive program? We use a choice of the best Estancias in the different regions of the country and Buenos Aires as the base from which to fan out smaller groups. We start with 2-3 nights in Buenos Aires, then on to the Estancias. Return to BA for the last full-day and a sensational grand finale - a time for a fun farewell-night where participants can share experiences.

5.-The North-West
Nature and culture near the clouds (7 days).

A completely different view of Argentina where the ancient Inca culture blends with the colonial influence in the high plateau valleys of the Andes Mountains, where picturesque Indian villages, abandoned fortresses, lonely churches, sugar and tobacco plantations match with the colors of

the land. Between the inhospitable Puna and the endless prairies, shielded by crumpled mountains, lie the Sacred Valleys: the Calchaquí Valleys, a region full of magic and contrasts: the light of dawn reflects on the western mountains and the colors of sunset glow on the eastern sierras, ancient rock formations and geological curiosities, Inca ruins, magnificent vistas, endless expanses of semiarid countryside dotted with giant cacti, empty roads, the scent of mint and anise, the aftertaste of the fruity local torrontés wine, red-peppers drying in the sun, its music, colonial churches and picturesque villages, regional crafts and the colorful people of the valleys.

A week program for VIP groups of 20-30 people: we start with a 2-day visit of Buenos Aires; continuing with a 2-hour flight to the North-West region of Salta, a circuit along the Calchaquí Valleys staying at beautiful colonial Estancias nestled in this magic region: an exclusive Winery-Inn and the charming Old Governorn's Inn. We visit Inca ruins, winery and vineyards.
We transfer back to Salta, overnight at Salta's private colonial mansions and take the breathtaking Train to the Clouds nestled in the multicolored mountains the next day. We organize a Farewell-Dinner in a colonial venue in Salta with folk music and the delicious local specialties. We fly back to Buenos Aires the following morning, lunch at a lovely restaurant on the waterfront, shop and visit museums before taking evening flight back home.

As an extension to this program, we offer a 3 nights/4 days stay at the new Explora en Atacama Hotel, a unique jewel blend of architecture, refinement and nature, embedded in the Atacama desert in northern Chile, a truly fascinating experience. From San Antonio de los Cobres, the last stop of the Train to the Clouds, we cross the border to Chile into the Atacama desert. Between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes lies Atacama, with its immensity of land and mystery.

Desert and oasis have witnessed the stillness and the changes of Pre-Columbian cultures of South America. Volcanoes, salt-pits and hot springs add splendor to the local culture. We explore Atacama's nature and history in optional programs, on foot, horseback, vans or bikes. From the Explora we transfer the group to Santiago, Chile's capital where we spend the night and visit the city before taking the flight back home.
