Bueno Aires Travel & Iguazu Falls Tour

BUENOS AIRES & IGUAZU FALLS

Visit the city of Tango & one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature - 6 days

Have you ever thought about visiting the most romantic city of South America and the jungle during the same trip? In this 6 day journey you will see people dancing true tango (like only Argentines do), discover the real “city that never sleeps” by walking the street of the eclectic and vibrant city of Buenos Aires and stunning yourself by standing just next to one of the 7 wonders of the world: Iguazú falls. Shared by Argentina and Brazil, this UNESCO World Heritage site is a “must-see” during your stay in Argentina.

Day 1 - Travel to Buenos Aires: first day in the city

Upon arrival, you’ll be transferred to the city and you’ll have the rest of the day to enjoy the city at your own pace.

Buenos Aires is a marvelous, furious, cosmopolitan city, full of plenty of colours and different kind of architecture. Capital of Argentina and described as the Paris of South America, Buenos Aires proudly embraces this title, as well as showing off plenty of its own culture!

Argentines are usually eager to host visitors: if you walk the streets with a map, someone will surely stop and ask if you need directions. That’s our spirit! So, for this first day, be free to wander the cobblestone streets lined with outdoor cafes, enjoy the the mouthwatering aroma of prized Argentine beef sizzling on an open “parrilla” (barbeque), and browse the local antique and artisan markets that offer plenty of bargain shopping.

And to travel deeper and have a firm grip of the Argentine spirit, find the perfect leather jacket or handbag (Buenos Aires is home to some excellent local designers), enjoy a typical dinner-tango show in the worldwide known home of the tango, and explore the colorful San Telmo and Recoleta neighborhoods.

Day 2 – Discover Buenos Aires: city tour & tango show

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.

Tango is, all in all, a cultural experience that’s deeply rooted in Argentine hearts. Where do regular people go to dance tango? Check out what these two little tango dancers have to say and untie the mystery…

Day 3 – From Buenos Aires, travel to Iguazú Falls

It’s time to leave the city and fly to ¡the jungle! At the appropriate time you will be transferred to the domestic airport to take your flight and travel to Iguazú Falls.

Welcome to Iguazú!

The small border town of Puerto Iguazú is the gateway to visit the impressive Iguazú Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders and a UNESCO World Heritage site, making it a must-see destination for any traveler visiting Argentina.

Upon arrival, you will be met at the airport and provided a transfer to your hotel. Iguazú Eco Fee: it’s a mandatory tax that you have to pay once you get to your hotel in Iguazú. It’s about 5 usd per guest, per night, and it varies according to your hotel category. Only cash is accepted.

Answer the call of vacations and take your time to relax at your hotel. If you’re eager to explore, you can visit the “Hito tres fronteras”, a viewpoint west of the town center that stands high above the turbulent reddish-brown junction of the Iguazú and Paraná rivers, which also form the Triple Frontera, or Triple Border between Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. Or visit the Güirá Oga (the house of birds in native Guaraní language), the sanctuary for animals hurt by illegal hunting and trapping.

Say Hueque tips

For the most adventurous, we recommend to take a bike tour through the rainforest with an specialised guide. You will discover the flora and fauna, the sounds of the jungle, the trail of little native mammals and the traditions of the Guaranies. Check out our recommendations on where to eat dinner and take a look at our Iguazú Falls – Travel guide for more practical tips.

Day 4 – Iguazú Falls Tours: Argentine side

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!). Find out more about this adventurous tour and entrance fees to the National Parks:

Day 5 – Iguazú Falls Tours: Brazilian side/ Return to Buenos Aires

After breakfast, we’ll pick you up to enjoy a 3-4 hour excursion to the Brazilian side of the Iguazú Falls. Don´t forget your passport!

While Argentina has 80% of the falls on its side, Brazil has the best panoramic view. On the Argentinian side you had the sensation of being right inside the falls, but only by visiting the Brazilian side you’ll fully appreciate the immensity of Iguazú Falls.

Take your time to enjoy it and feel it, to stroll the different walkways and feel the spray of water in your face. Take the boardwalk over the Salto Santa María, it feels like walking on the water. Get closer to the Devil’s Throat and feel the power of water! We are sure this is a day you will never forget.

At the appropriate time in the afternoon you will have a transfer to the airport for your flight to Buenos Aires and upon arrival you’ll be transferred to your hotel.

Day 6 – Last day in the city! Enjoy Buenos Aires day trips

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!

BUENOS AIRES & IGUAZU FALLS

We loved Argentina!

We loved Argentina! We choose you for the good recommendation on Trip Advisor and lack of time to do our own planning ;) The booking process was very easy and interactive. Regarding hotels, we loved: Melia Iguacu and Kau Yatun and we wound OK: Hosteria Puma and Ilum Experience. Our favorite excursion were BA walking tour and BA bike tour, they were both great! Both Iguacu days with Diego were nice but would say that Iguacu does not really require a guide as one goes with the crowds. Still useful for the trip to Brazil. Our Favourite memories were biking BA, hiking Laguna de Los Tres in nice weather and staying in the Melia with early morning visits to the falls and having cocktails with Falls view in the evening.
If we need to mention a guide, Agostina from SayHueque and Martin from Biking BA were both really great
We need to mention that we did not like the Southern Spirit Trek in El Calafate. Almost all the time was spent in transit on the bus and inside the boat or waiting. We had only 45 minutes at Perito Moreno which is a bit of a joke given the tour lasted for 9 hours. Also, we enjoyed La Ventura tango show but felt it was a bit too touristic, so we wondered if more authentic ways exist to experience tango (maybe not)

All the guides were good but Agostina, you are a star

Agostina
Hope all is well.
Will try and remember to go on Trip Advisor. Think of you often you special one.
We choose you because Responsible Travel in the U.K. found you for me. The booking process was very good. I don´t think we have a favourite excursion but the Iguazú Falls will I think be the most memorable. All the guides were good but Agostina, you are a star. You will be a greater star. Hope there’s a next time
All the very best

We enjoyed our calafate and Iguazú visits and would like to thank you for your service.

Our trip ends today when we board the plane for Buenos Aires. We enjoyed our calafate and Iguazú visits and would like to thank you for your service. We would be glad to share some of our assessments -
The airport transfers were all good. We didn’t wait and that prompt pick up gave us a good sense of security in an new place.
The hotels at Calafate and Iguazú were superb. Weskar was also okay but too small for a party of three. Nonetheless, weskar service was good.
On the tour guide, they were all good. But the it would have been better if we were properly advised on all payments to the park. Perhaps, this advisory can be included in the day to day itinerary to prepare on the cash we needed to bring cuz natales isn’t too friendly on credit cards
Clothing advisory - the advisory on calafate and Ushuaia were okay. But the Iguazú side can be better cuz we were not prepared for raincoats - which were a must to visit the cataratas
The 24-hour service of Say Huque was excellent. It was very helpful whenever we needed clarifications, or inquiries of our travel.
One suggestion: Best to include all entrance fees to the parks in the cost. It would be less hassle cuz of currency exchange issues
Again, thanks for your service. We look forward to future relationships
Theresa
