Our Gold category trips include the best tours in each destination (usually done on private basis or in small groups), guaranteeing an exclusive first‑class and in-depth travel experience.
Additionally, airport transfers are provided on a private basis in all destinations, except in Peninsula Valdes.
Our Silver category trips have different and fewer tours than our Gold category trips, sometimes with different durations of stay in some destinations.
This is a great trip option, also including first‑class tours, but is a less exclusive and comprehensive experience than our Gold category trips.

TRIP REVIEW OF JENNIFER & BRUCE MCPHERSON
"Friends who had travelled to Argentina in 2011 with Exploration Journeys highly recommended we contact Fred and his company to organize our first trip to Argentina trip. We were so pleased they did!!! Fred was extremely patient offering different options as we worked through four different versions of the itinerary before finalizing our plans.
We were delighted to receive a very wonderful Guide Book to Argentina outlining our travel details both an electronic and a hard copy mailed to our home. This very useful guide was customized to our specific destinations in Argentina and filled with travel tips such as recommended restaurants, where to change our currency, specific daily itineraries and travel vouchers.
The quality and location of our recommended hotels were excellent. Our transfers from airports to our hotels were timely and provided by very professional drivers. Although we travelled on our own around BA, we wisely had very experienced and knowledgeable guides in the two other main areas we travelled.
We enjoyed the breathtaking beauty of Iguazu Falls and thrilling boat ride to the edge of the falls! Our trip to Peninsula Valdes, Patagonia was a wonderful experience to enjoy especially the penguins (being able to walk among them!), the elephant seals (who had just given birth), sea lions and so many other exotic birds and animals- one of our many trip highlights.
Although we did not cover all of Argentina due to time limitations, we look forward in the future to working with Fred again to enjoy the many things still left to see and visit in Argentina.
Fred's service was above and beyond what we expected and we would highly recommend Exploration Journeys and have done so already to our family and friends."

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. |
DAY 4: 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. |

Peninsula Valdes’ Unique Marine Fauna Heaven The scenic Peninsula Valdes, where arid landscapes contrast with the blue crystalline sea, is home to an important breeding population of the endangered southern Right Whale (whale season takes place from May to early December), southern sea lions, orcas (also known as “killer whales”), Magellanic penguins (penguin season is from mid-September to mid April), as well as the largest continental colony of southern elephant seals in the entire world. National Geographic listed the Peninsula Valdes as one of the 10 best places in the world for whale-watching. The inner part of the peninsula boasts rheas, guanacos (American Llama), hairy armadillos, ostriches and maras (very similar to hares). A high diversity and range of birds live in the peninsula as well; at least 181 species.
