BRIDGET & CARL'S TESTIMONIAL

"This was our first trip to Argentina. We’ve traveled to Peru and Ecuador previously, but this trip was extra special because we brought our two sons (ages 7 and 9) and planned to see so much more. Given such a large and amazing country, it was hard to know what to prioritize, how to handle all of the logistics, transfers, and flights, and we needed to be extra conscientious given the kids (e.g., making sure we had kid-friendly tours, connecting hotel rooms, etc.).

I am so grateful that I stumbled upon Exploration Journeys and Fred after starting the research process. He made all the difference and created a trip that exceeded every expectation. Once learning of our interests and intended trip goals, he crafted an amazing trip that made sure we got to experience so much of the wonder of Argentina.

His personalized website and many, many pictures gave us a great sense of what he was suggesting, and no question was too small when we reached out to him.

I so appreciated the attention to detail, as that can make or break a trip (especially with kids). In the end, we had a fantastic time without any stress. The pace Fred suggested was just right to maximize our time there without tiring everyone out.
All of the transfers, flights, and hotels worked out beautifully, and the tour guides were all great matches for our family. Fred even made great restaurant and other recommendations for when we had downtime.

I cannot express greater satisfaction and thankfulness to him. If only he would plan ALL my trips! Exploration Journeys gave me the gift of peace of mind—exactly what you need on vacation."

BRIDGET & CARL'S BOOKED TRIP ITINERARY

DESTINATION DAY ITINERARY
Buenos Aires
1

Flight arrival in Buenos Aires, Argentina!

Welcome at the airport and transfer with private vehicle and guide to your hotel.

Images of Buenos Aires: European Heritage and Latin American Passion (private tour)

Buenos Aires has been chosen for 3 consecutive years (2014, 2015 and 2016) as the #1 best destination to visit in South America by millions of Trip Advisor users in their “Traveler’s Choice” contest...and rightfully so. This cosmopolitan, vibrant, and sophisticated city, commonly called the “Paris of Latin America,” is the best place in the world to enjoy a first-class tango show and to eat some of the tastiest steak accompanied by the celebrated Argentine Malbec wine.

Our expert “porteño” (as locals are called) guide will take you on a cultural journey, where you’ll get to know the most iconic neighborhoods and highlights in the city. This tour is also a great opportunity to learn from your expert tour guide the needed information and tips to make the most of your free time in the city.

This is a private 4 hour tour.

2Free day to relax and enjoy your own explorations.

Transfer in private vehicle to Buenos Aires Airport.

Iguazu Falls
5

Flight arrival in Iguazu.

Depending on your flight arrival time you will have time to go first to your hotel or you will be taken directly to your tour and then to your hotel.

Beholding Breathtaking Panoramic Views of the Iguazu Falls from the Brazilian Side (private tour)

With 80% of the falls located on the Argentine side, only from the Brazilian side can you see almost all of them at once, in breathtaking panoramic views. This is because the Brazilian footbridge lies across the river from the falls, offering a unique perspective and epic panoramic views which makes the Brazilian side different and absolutely complementary to what you get from the Argentinean side.

This is a half day private tour.

Walking Among Exotic Birds in the Iguazu Rainforest

You’re about to enter one of a kind bird sanctuary, where you’ll find the largest colony of toucans on display in the world, as well as the largest colony of parrots on display in South America, along with another 150 different bird species from Brazil and all around the world.

Located in the midst of the lush tropical rainforest, Foz Tropicana Bird Park is an internationally recognized rescue and preservation center for endangered birds, and it’s among the most important ones in South America. You’ll be side by side with a myriad of exotic birds in the three walk-in aviaries, where you’ll have the opportunity to have an up close and personal experience with amazingly colorful parrots and Toco Toucans, among many other birds that will be right next to you or even flying over your head!

Besides the diversity and rarity of many of its birds, another unique thing about the park is its location. It covers nearly 40 acres (16 hectares) or rainforest, so you’re truly going to be in the middle of nature while walking along the trails!

This is a self-guided visit lasting about 2 hours and is done on the same day you do the Brazilian side of the falls tour.

Experiencing the Unique Power of the Iguazu Falls from the Argentine Side (private tour)

“You might have seen the photos. Even read about it. You might have visited other great waterfalls before. But you probably still have no idea what to expect when you come face to face with the almighty Iguazu Falls,” stated CNN in their article “Iguazu Falls: Why this natural wonder should be on everyone’s bucket list". To put that in perspective, Iguazu Falls is nearly twice as tall as Niagara Falls and nearly three times as wide. Even the late U.S. First Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt was reportedly so impressed by the sight of Iguazu Falls that she exclaimed “Poor Niagara!”

In 1984, Iguazu Falls became a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and in 2011, it was selected as one of the 7 winners of the “New Seven Wonders of Nature” worldwide competition in which more than 100 million votes were cast.

Their size and scale are unlike any other waterfall on Earth. Made up of a system of 275 waterfalls, they have a staggering water flow of up to almost 3.5 million gallons (13 million liters) per second – enough to fill five Olympic swimming pools!

Unlike Niagara Falls, which is surrounded by developments such as casinos, a revolving restaurant, and coffee shops, Iguazu Falls are located within one of the few remaining inland rainforests in South America, the Atlantic rainforest, which is a haven for more than 2,000 plant species, about 400 birds species, and 80 types of mammals!

This is a full day private tour.

Transfer with private vehicle to Iguazu airport.

You will take a flight to Buenos Aires and from there you will take another flight to El Calafate.
El Calafate

Flight arrival in El Calafate. Transfer in private vehicle to your hotel.

Depending on your flight arrival time, you can relax at your hotel, enjoy your own explorations, or ask your tour guide about suggested activities for your free time.

Icy Blue Giants: Navigation among Patagonian Glaciers (in boat’s VIP section)

We’ll embark on a discovery journey to admire the second largest glacier in South America: the Upsala Glacier, as well as other Patagonian ice giants that are only accessible by boat. The glaciers’ magnitude is imposing, and their color is remarkable too: raging from white to dark blue. We’ll get comfortable in our seats in the exclusive VIP cabin on the upper floor of our ship, where we’ll experience better panoramic views with superior comfort and service.

On our way to the Upsala Glacier, we’ll enjoy great photo opportunities while we see icebergs of incredible and diverse shapes and sizes.

This is a full day group tour and includes lunch with beverages at VIP boat cabin.

9

Beholding the Perito Moreno Glacier from its Seven Panoramic Boardwalks

Prepare to visit one of the world’s most unique and awe-inspiring glaciers: The Perito Moreno Glacier. This grandiose glacier showcases its mighty glory in the Patagonian Glaciers National Park, which has been declared as a Mankind’s Natural Heritage site by UNESCO. The park’s vast size not only gives it the distinction of being the largest ice mantle in the world after Antarctica, but it’s also the third largest fresh water reserve on the planet as well.

The Perito Moreno is of the few glaciers in the world that is actually growing and advancing. This is opposed to the majority of the world’s glaciers that are retreating and melting due to the effects of global warming.

Our destination is the panoramic boardwalks which overlook the Perito Moreno Glacier. Here, amidst the backdrop of the majestic, snow-capped Andes, you’ll find yourself immersed in an unforgettable glacier experience, while enjoy amazing picture taking opportunities from the seven panoramic balconies facing the front of the glacier.

This is a full day group tour.

Close-up Navigation to the Mighty Perito Moreno Glacier

Take in the sheer size and beauty of the Perito Moreno Glacier from an exciting close-up perspective as we cruise across the pristine waters of the Rico Branch of the Argentino Lake, which borders the south wall of the Perito Moreno Glacier.

The sheer vastness of the south wall alone is a humbling and inspiring sight. We’ll be stopping about 985 feet (300 meters) away from the south wall of the glacier for some epic picture-taking opportunities that will showcase its grand scale and beauty of the glacier.

This will be definitely a different perspective from what you experience on the panoramic boardwalks.

This navigation is a 1 hour group tour done on the same day you do the Perito Morneo Glacier tour..

10

Transfer in private vehicle to El Calafate airport.

Bariloche

Flight arrival in Bariloche. Transfer with private vehicle to your hotel.

Depending on your flight arrival time, you can relax at your hotel, enjoy your own explorations, or ask your tour guide about suggested activities for your free time.
11

Panoramic Hiking Experience (private tour)

Get ready for a one-of-a-kind panoramic hiking experience, where you’ll be enchanted by some of the most breathtaking panoramic views of Patagonia, including one of the ten most beautiful views in the world as rated by National Geographic!

Our expert hiking guide will help you hone your hiking skills as you explore the surrounding areas of Mount Llao Llao. You’ll also take a chairlift ride up Campanario Hill, where you’ll enjoy awe-inspiring panoramic views of deep-blue lakes and snowcapped mountains.

Get your camera ready…this will surely be one of the best opportunities to take some of the nicest landscape photos in a lifetime!

This is a half day private tour.

12

Navigating the Nahuel Huapi Lake (in VIP cabin) and trekking at the Victoria Island and the Myrtle Forest with private guide

Prepare to navigate the beautifully blue waters of the Nahuel Huapi Lake, the largest in Argentina’s Lake District, set against the backdrop of the snow-capped Andes mountain range. We’ll enjoy our exclusive seating in the boat’s VIP cabin located on the upper deck. From here we’ll experience superior panoramic views and a much more exclusive setting since there are only 50 seats in the VIP cabin (versus 230 seats in the regular cabin).

We’ll visit the largest island in the Nahuel Huapi lake: Victoria Island, home to a wide array of flora and fauna and plenty of history, including ancient cave paintings. Another highlight of this navigation includes a visit to a unique forest of myrtle trees in the Arrayanes National Park.

This is a full day tour. You’ll have your own private expert guide to help you make the most out of your tour experience. Transfers to and from the port will be done on group basis.

Passion and Beauty: an Authentic World-class Tango Experience

You’re invited to experience an evening of charm, passion, and sensuality at one of the best Tango venues in Buenos Aires: La Ventana.

The show at La Ventana is a journey through the history of Tango, where you’ll see different and authentic Tango styles, each with their own particular music, dancing style, and costumes.

Tango is a fundamental part of Argentine culture, even Pope Francis said that Tango “lives deep inside me, I often danced it in Argentina as a young man.”

At La Ventana you will enjoy seeing truly world-class singers, musicians, and dancers while being dazzled by their skills and charm.

The show also includes a brief but exciting display of some unique features of Argentine folklore with traditional costumes, a folk band, and a mesmerizing boleadoras show performed by the show’s very own gaucho!

Private transfers to and from the La Ventana are included, as well as dinner with non-alcoholic beverages & wine.
