"Argentina Exploration Journeys could not have been more reassuring and responsive!"

"We chose a tour package with private tours (which we never do) and found each tour guide fascinating and full of so much information! We felt totally spoiled!"

"We normally prepare our own adventures but after our experience with Fred and Argentina Exploration Journeys, we hope to replicate our experience in future travels!"

Dwayne & Erik visited: Buenos Aires, Ushuaia, El Calafate and Iguazu Falls.

TRIP REVIEW OF DWAYNE & ERIK SMETZER

"From our initial email inquiry until we arrived home after a glorious 11-day Argentine adventure, Argentina Exploration Journeys could not have been more reassuring and responsive! We looked into an “once-in-a-lifetime” trip exploring Argentina to celebrate a special occasion and after extensive research we decided on Argentina Exploration Journeys.
We were assisted by Fred throughout it all. He was quick at returning emails and actually called us for a few clarifications prior to our departure. We chose the “A Discovery Journey to the Ends of the Earth, the Patagonian Glaciers, and the Mighty Iguazu Falls” itinerary.
Each destination on the tour was worry-free for us with easy transfers from the various airports to our hotels and pick-ups for our scheduled tours.
We chose a tour package with private tours (which we never do) and found each tour guide fascinating and full of so much information! We felt totally spoiled! We normally prepare our own adventures but after our experience with Fred and Argentina Exploration Journeys, we hope to replicate our experience in future travels!
The “icing on the cake” so to speak was when we were at our last destination (Iguazu Falls) and due to a puma spotted on the lower trail we were not able to take a boat ride which we booked to see the falls close-up. Without request, Fred revised our plans and provided us with an upgraded, longer tour (free of charge) in order for us to experience the falls by basically going under the falls and getting soaked! It truly was a highlight of our trip!
It is our understanding that Argentina Exploration Journeys is looking at expanding its country options. We will definitely look into anything else they offer! You will not be disappointed!!!"

DAY 11: IGUAZU

Witness the Unique Power & Might 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 into perspective, Iguazu Falls is nearly twice as tall as Niagara Falls and nearly three times as wide. 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.

A Speedboat Adventure Up-Close the Iguazu Falls

Get ready for a thrilling speedboat adventure, enjoying a unique, up-close perspective of the majestic Iguazu Falls and experience a different viewpoint of the falls from what you’ll see from the panoramic boardwalks. Our speedboat will zip the waters of the Iguazu River and approach the falls getting thoroughly splashed by their mist as you hear their loud roar!

This ride provides a unique and extremely close-up view of the San Martin and Three Musketeers falls with the opportunity to take outstanding close-up photos. The high point of this experience will be without a doubt, being showered under the mist of the San Martin Falls; the second strongest falls in the Iguazu system. Now it’s time to hop on board and begin our waterfall adventure!

This is a 12-minute group tour and is done on the same day you do the Argentinean side of the falls tour. This tour has an age restriction (click on tour name above for details).

DAY 12: LAST DAY IN IGUAZU

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

With 80% of the falls located on the Argentine side, it is only from the Brazilian side that one can see almost all of them at once, in full, breathtakingly panoramic views.

The Brazilian side offers majestic scenic views of the beauty and entirety of the falls; this is because the Brazilian footbridge lies across the river from the falls, offering a unique perspective and epic scenic views, making the Brazilian side different and absolutely complementary to the experience from the Argentinean side.

This is a half-day private tour.

Walking Among Exotic Birds in the Iguazu Rainforest (private tour)

You’re about to enter a one-of-a-kind bird sanctuary! Here 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 150 different bird species from Brazil and all over the world, many of them endangered.

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 find yourself side by side 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… all of them right next to you or even flying over your head!

In addition to the diversity and beauty of the birds you’ll see, the park itself presents itself as a unique location. It covers nearly 40 acres (16 hectares) of rainforest, so you’re quite literally going to find yourself in the middle of nature as you make your way along the trails!

This visit lasts from an hour and a half to 2 hours and is done on the same day you do the Brazilian side of the falls tour.

Transfer in private vehicle to Iguazu airport.
