Best of Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls & Rio
If you are considering a well-deserved holiday to Argentina and this will be your first visit, this tailor-made journey offers the perfect opportunity to discover three of the country’s most spectacular destinations: its vibrant capital, Buenos Aires; the breathtaking region of El Calafate, with its magnificent glaciers; and finally, Iguazú, home to one of the most incredible waterfalls in the world.
Price includes:
Upon arrival at Buenos Aires International Airport, your driver will be waiting to transfer you to your confirmed hotel. Enjoy two full days exploring Buenos Aires. Your hotel is located right in the heart of the city, making it the perfect base for exploring on foot. Some of our favourite places in Buenos Aires include Puerto Madero, with its excellent restaurants; Plaza de Mayo; and the elegant Recoleta neighbourhood, known for its magnificent Parisian-style architecture and famous cemetery, where many well-known figures are buried, including Eva Perón. Make sure you also visit the famous El Ateneo Grand Splendid bookshop, which reminds us of the Royal Albert Hall. It is an incredible place! Should you fancy dinner and a tango show one evening, speak to our local representatives for personalised recommendations. After breakfast at your hotel, we have arranged your transfer to the airport in Buenos Aires. Take a direct flight to El Calafate, in Patagonia. The flight takes just under four hours. Upon arrival in El Calafate, you will be met and transferred to your hotel. The rest of the day is free for you to relax. Enjoy three full days in Patagonia. A visit to the Perito Moreno Glacier is an absolute must. We also recommend taking a boat trip to see other impressive glaciers up close, including the Upsala and Spegazzini glaciers. The small town of El Calafate has a charming, traditional Patagonian atmosphere and is a lovely place to explore. Today you will fly to Iguazu Falls (Argentinian side) via Buenos Aires. On arrival at the airport, your driver will be waiting for you to take you to your confirmed hotel. Three full days to enjoy Iguazu Falls at your own pace. Today, you will fly back to Buenos Aires, where you will spend the final day of your holiday exploring a little more of this incredible city. Today your driver will take you back to Buenos Aires International airport for your return flight back home.Itinerary
Why Book the Buenos Aires, Patagonia & Iguazu Falls Itinerary?
This holiday package combines three incredible and completely different destinations. First, you have Buenos Aires, often described as the Paris of Latin America. Then comes El Calafate, with its spectacular natural scenery and magnificent glaciers. Finally, you will visit Iguazú, where you can explore the National Park on the Argentinian side as well as admire the waterfalls from the Brazilian side. You will be able to walk along footbridges above the waterfalls, below them and behind them, getting so close that you can almost reach out and touch the water. It is a truly unforgettable experience.
We will take care of booking all your international and domestic flights, as well as arranging private transfers between the airports and your confirmed hotels, making your journey as easy and seamless as possible.
We will also share plenty of personal tips and recommendations to make your holiday even more special. Everything is booked under our ATOL licence, providing you with the highest level of financial protection.
Frequently asked questions
We recommend to bring a good currency exchange credit card such as Revolut and a small amount of cash in USD with you. Aerolineas Argentinas is the National Airline and it is very reliable although their flight times may vary slightly from the time of booking but the airline will always inform well in advance. You can bring a small bag plus a cabin bag under 8kgs plus your checked luggage up to 15kg. If your checked luggage is above 15kg, you will have to pay a fixed fee directly to Aerolineas Argentinas of approximately £35 per suitcase. Just a fair mobility and balance will be sufficient to enjoy this activity. No, visa won’t be required. If you are planning to spend a full day visiting Iguazu Falls on the Brazilian side, simply take your passport with you for the day and you will be able to cross the border and back in a very simple way. Entrance fee to the Brazilian side costs approximately £20 per person and the Argentinian side £30 depending on the exchange rate. You can purchase tickets at the entrance. All our holidays are tailor made to your specific requests. It will be possible to add a beach extension in Rio or visit Patagonia’s Ushuaia further South or perhaps combine Argentina with Peru or Chile.
