WATERS OF ARGENTINA – 11 DAYS

Welcome to Argentina!
Capital of Argentina and described as the Paris of South America, Buenos Aires proudly embraces this title, as well as shows off plenty of its own culture! Explore the traditional European architecture, the cobbled streets lined with rustic outdoor cafes, the local antique and artisanal markets that offer plenty of bargain shopping, and the mouthwatering aroma of prized Argentine beef sizzling on an open “parrrilla” (barbeque) in the air.

In the morning, you will be picked up from your hotel to enjoy our City Tour.
Over the course of a half day you will have the chance to visit the historical and political centre of the city: San Telmo with its cobblestone streets, La Boca where Buenos Aires turns colorful and tango is ever present, and the chic and aristocratic Recoleta, where the big palaces remind us that Buenos Aires was once the Paris of the South.

Duration: 5 hours

In the evening you will be picked up from your hotel (shared service) to be driven to one of Buenos Aires’ most emblematic cultural highlights: a dinner and tango show offering a spectacular demonstration of the finest local dancing accompanied by delicious Argentine cuisine and all the Malbec you’d like.
At the end of the evening you will be driven back to your hotel.
Total duration (dinner + show): 4 hours (aprox)

Early the next morning, we will bring you to the domestic airport where you will take your flight to Posadas. You’llhave a private transfer to Ibera.

On arrival to this natural Paradise, you will be transfered to Aguape Lodge – located on the edge of the lagoon the center of the natural reserve of Ibera. After you’ve stored your belongings in the hotel and have rested up, you’ll have your first excursion on a boat to the information center.

An experienced guide will provide you with valuable information about the functioning ecosystem, different types of possible danger, etc. Once you’ve received all necessary information, you will take a 2km path where you’ll begin spotting howler monkeys. During the last hour, you will walk across a 300mt wooden bridge that goes over the marshes. From there it is very easy to see capybaras, deer, alligators, herons amongst other wildlife.

In the morning you will be transferred to Posadas (around 4 hours), and from there you’ll take a regular bus to Puerto Iguazu (300 km, about 5 hours). If you prefer to have a private transfer, let us know and we will organize it for you.

Welcome to Iguazu!
The little and relaxing town is the gate to visit the impressive Iguazu Falls, (which have been recently declared as one of the New Seven Natural Wonders!), making them a must see destination for any traveler visiting Argentina.

 Upon arrival, you will be met at the airport and provided a private transfer to your hotel. You will have some time to relax and enjoy the tropical climate and jungle setting.

In the afternoon, you’ll have a private visit to “Project Mate”, a local comunity of Guaranies (indigenous culture of Misiones) where you’ll take a walk through the jungle accompanied by a representative of the local community and learn about their traditions and lifestyle.
The Guaranies (the original Word meaning “man”) are a group of indigenous South American towns that are geographically located in Paraguay, the northeast of Argentina, south and southwest of Brazil, and the southeast of Bolivia, next to Uruguay. Many of these people have learned Spanish, and some have even studied law in order to defend the rights of their community.

In the morning, you will begin kayaking in the Arroyo Urugua-i. During 6 hours, a specialized guide will accompany you while you journey through different landscapes and views.

You will have the opportunity to appreciat the greenery from a close-up view. Being so close to nature, it’s quite probable that you will see animals and birds that stay away from the national park due to the large amount of people that go there.You will have plenty of time to swim and sunbathe before you return. In the afternoon, your guide will come get you to visit the Brazilian side of the falls, where you will have a panoramic view of the waterfalls. While on the Argentine side you can experience them, here on the Brazilian side, you get to appreciate the immensity of them!

In the afternoon, our driver and guide will pick you up from the hotel to drive you to the border, and from there head to the Brazilian National Park.
Here you will have the chance to complete your experience with probably the best panoramic views. Take your time to enjoy it and feel it. We are sure this is a day you will never forget.

The Upsala glacier is one of the most important ones in The Glaciers National Park and the second largest in all of Argentina. What makes this glacier special is that the only way to see it is by taking a boat through the Upsala Canal (an excursion that was closed for several years due to icebergs blocking the way).

This excursión permits you to travel through the Upsala Canal in its totality and to kayak through itsenormous icebergs. With professional guides and small groups of kayakers, the tour begins with a boat ride down Lake Argentino. While the participants are getting used to the surroundings, the guide will share important information with you about the plant life and wildlife of the area.

After the boat ride, the participants will receive the necessary equipment and the instructions that will prepare you for your kayak excursion (the level of difficulty will change based on each group and the weather conditions).

For two hours, your journey will be guided through the Upsala Canal, where you will begin learning about the region while enjoying the amazing view of Patagonia. In the afternoon you will return to the hotel.

At the appropriate time you will have a private transfer to the international airport for your flight back home.

Have a great trip!
