We HIGHLY recommend Exploration Journeys for travel in Argentina and Brazil.
"For four friends planning our first South American adventure, the discovery of Fred at Exploration Journeys provided us with the perfect introduction to the stunningly-diverse country of Argentina. Arranged as a private tour, Fred organized every detail to our specifications, making suggestions and offering choices that consistently proved to exceed expectations.
On this three-week excursion, we selected Buenos Aires, Iguazu, Mendoza and Bariloche as our destinations. Fred scheduled all domestic flights (boarding passes were waiting for us in each hotel), airport transfers, local guides, and accommodations. In addition, we were given a booklet filled with recommendations for restaurants, shopping and things to do in our free time.
It is interesting to note that American dollars are accepted in many places in Argentina and English is widely spoken. However, our guides and bus drivers were incredibly kind as I enjoyed practicing the Spanish language with them.
Fred responded immediately to all of our inquiries, both prior to and during this trip. He made special arrangements upon request, such as with a fly-fishing guide in Bariloche, who was generous in every way.
We HIGHLY recommend Exploration Journeys for travel in Argentina and Brazil. Fred will help you to design a memorable experience!"
