BUENOS AIRES & IGUAZU FALLS

In the morning we’ll pick you up to enjoy our traditional, 3 hour-long Buenos Aires city tour. Over the course of a half day you’ll be swept away by the highlights of our beloved Buenos Aires.

You’ll visit the historical and political center of the city around May square (Plaza de Mayo) and the Pink House (the presidential house). San Telmo with its cobblestone streets and  the oldest residential neighborhood and La Boca where Buenos Aires turns colorful and tango is ever present: come to walk Caminito street and dance with the locals.

The next stop: Puerto Madero where the city gets modernized, Retiro where the cutting-edge Kavanagh building rises like the guardian of the neighbourhood. Continue to Palermo, the largest neighbourhood in Buenos Aires, which is divided in 3 main sections (Palermo Viejo, Palermo Soho and Palermo Hollywood).

This tour will end at the chic and aristocratic Recoleta, where the big palaces remind us that Buenos Aires was once the “Paris of the South”. Discover the final resting place of Eva Perón, “Evita” and wander through Recoleta Cemetery where she is to be found.

In the evening you will be picked up from your hotel to be driven to a mystical place where you’ll discover one of our most ancient traditions.

Tango is more than our national dance. Tango is: our immigrant origins, the talent of our local artists, the sensuality of the Argentine woman and our way to deal with a broken heart, dancing our way through tragical and yet eternal love stories.

Tonight you will enjoy a professional display of tango and music with a group of local artists onstage immersed in an elegant and alluring place. The manners, ambience, clothes and dance steps which tango lovers used to practice 100 years ago will come to life again and you will travel in time for a night.

This spectacular demonstration of the finest local dancing will be accompanied by delicious Argentine and international cuisine. Dinner is à la carte, beverages included so you can lose yourself in the ethereal taste of Malbec wine. At the end of the evening (around midnight), you will be driven back to your hotel, fully in love with the bohemian spirit of our beloved Buenos Aires.

Today our bilingual guide will pick you up at your hotel and you’ll visit the National Park, on the Argentine side.

The falls are surrounded by a humid subtropical forest where the exuberant vegetation is home to many different animals and birds. Our guide will help you spot some of them: ant birds, toucans, manakins, parrots, coatis, just to name a few of the most common birds. Lower and upper walkways weave in and around falls permitting up close and personal experiences with this magnificent spectacle of nature.

The Argentine side of the falls is filled with a myriad of paths and walkways and stairways which allow you to have an experience from many different perspectives. You will have the chance to meet “The Devil’s throat”: the largest of the falls and for many the most spellbinding. To get to the Devil’s Throat you take the ecological train and then walk out along boardwalks.

After walking and taking pictures of animals and plants, you will have some free time to eat lunch in this amazing environment. This exciting, 6-7 hour-long excursion is highly recommended in order to experience the true power of Iguazú Falls.

Would you love to have a “Great Adventure”? The Great Adventure (“gran aventura”) is an optional tour you can add on this day. You will take an open air jeep through the rainforest and then a zodiac open air boat ride up the river to the base of the falls (there is a 100% chance that you will get soaking wet on this boat trip, so be sure to take some extra clothes!).

Welcome back to the city of “porteños” (inhabitants of the port city of Buenos Aires). How you would like to spend your last day of vacation?

Here are some ideas: you can explore the cobblestone, tree-lined streets of Palermo Soho in search of one-of-a-kind Porteño fashion store or discover the graffiti circuit. Or you may stop by one of our historic cafés (named “cafés notables”) located all over the city and have a “cortado”, the most popular Argentine coffee choice.

If you’re leaving on a Saturday or Sunday, you may have the chance to visit one of the city markets, only open on  weekends. At the appropriate time you will be transferred to the international airport for your flight back home.

¡Buen viaje!
