In the morning your guide will pick you up to explore some of the top spots in Buenos Aires in a 4-hour private tour.

Plaza de Mayo: which is home to the national government palace & the Metropolitan Cathedral. This historical, political, and foundational epicenter of the city is a great starting point for the city tour.

One of Buenos Aires’ oldest neighborhoods, San Telmo, which boasts a vibrant tango and arts scene. Its antique markets, candle street lighting, cobblestone roads, and old buildings with original facades and décor create a lovely bohemian atmosphere. Sundays buzz with activity as the main antique market comes alive around the Plaza Dorrego.

You will visit La Boca, a neighborhood famous for its brightly-painted houses and coventillos (communal housing tenements) as well as for being home to the legendary Boca Juniors football club where Diego Maradona made his name.

You will also visit the city’s youngest neighborhood, Puerto Madero, which is situated on the riverside along the Río de la Plata.

This major gastronomic and business hub is situated in former commercial docks.

Along the canals, these former industrial warehouses were converted into elegant bars, eateries, and offices during one of the most successful urban waterfront restoration projects in the world.

Palermo, the largest neighborhood in town, is home to huge parks as well as some of Buenos Aires’ trendiest bars, clubs, and fashion boutiques. This neighborhood—which has nearly 350 acres (142 hectares) of parks, lakes, and wooded areas—offers a peaceful retreat from the busyness further in the city.

The European style district, Recoleta, is home to an array of fashionable restaurants, cafés, boutiques, malls, and luxury hotels which you’ll find along tree-lined avenues. One of the main attractions, The Cemetery, is the final resting place for generations of well-known Argentinians including Evita Peron.

In the evening, a unique Dinner & Show at GALA TANGO, one of the most exclusive places in town for an authentic show.

With a beautiful décor and architecture down to the finest detail, it seems as though you have stepped into the 1930s, creating an experience that you will never forget. For an hour and half, you will enjoy more than 30 artists on stage, a live orchestra and four couples dancing to the rhythm of the music.

Besides tango, you will also witness a performance of traditional folk Argentine dance.

The dinner offers a variety of hot or cold starters, a choice of eight different main courses and desserts that will also be accompanied by a good choice of champagne and wine from one of the most exclusive wineries in Argentina.

Pick up from your hotel to enjoy a half day excursion to the Brazilian waterfalls.
The Iguassu Falls are the largest water system in the world due to its location in the middle of the Brazilian and Argentinian Jungle.

Declared a UNESCO World Heritage, Iguazu offers many different and all unique landscapes.

From the first balcony we’ll witness a panoramic view of the Argentinean Falls, from where you can take wonderful pictures.

Then after enjoying sweeping views of the 950-meter-long curve of the falls on the Argentina side, we’ll visit the falls on the Brazilian side.

The walkway will lead us to the Floriano Fall that gives the visitor a refreshing reception and a gorgeous panoramic view of the lower Iguazu River and the Devil’s Gorge Canyon, one of the biggest of the Falls.

Due to its location, the Brazilian Side offers a unique point of view and a one of a kind occasion to take amazing pictures of the constant rainbow floating above the water, in the canyons.

Then, you can go up the elevator and stairs to access the shopping and restaurant area on top of the balconies.

As the path includes many stairs, there is some degree of difficulty.

After the falls visit, your private guide will take you to the “Parque Das Aves” located just next to the Falls Park.

Rare and colorful tropical birds fly in large nurseries integrated into the exuberant subtropical forest. Visitors have the opportunity to enter these nurseries to learn about the life of the birds. In addition to them, yacares, anacondas, boas, tit monkeys and butterflies amaze visitors.

Today we visit the Argentinean Iguazú National Park to get into the falls declared one of the new seven wonders of the world!

The park preserves 67.000 acres of giant trees, vines and ferns living with multi-coloured butterflies, birds and other mammals, all of them part of the rich local flora and fauna.
The park was declared Natural World Heritage in 1984, due to its scenic beauties and the great biological diversity of the subtropical jungle. The famous falls are in the heart of this Park.
We recommend starting the tour early morning.

We will pick you up at 07 AM from your Hotel on one of our private cars and travel to the National Park. Once there, we will have a buffet breakfast at the Grand Melia Hotel – the only one inside the park!

By going in early we aim to be some of the first people at the park, avoiding crowds as much as possible.

According to the time of the year (high or low tourist season) and our client’s physical conditions, our guides will make the best selection of which trail to do first.

If the conditions are appropriate, the first circuit that we will take is a 4km (2.4 miles) flat hike to the Devil´s Throat (so we can arrive there before the first crowds).

From there, after 1,000 meters of walking along the catwalks, we come to the spectacular “Devil’s Throat”, where the Iguazu river speaks with all its strength and the falling water gives the illusion of magical rainbows.

We will also visit the Lower Trail, from where we can see among others, the “Two sisters Falls”, the “Bossetti Fall”, the “Hidden Fall”, a panoramic view of “San Martin island” and the “Union Fall”.

Later we walk the Upper Trail shifting along walkways located above major falls up to the majestic “San Martin Fall” from where we have a panoramic view of the Brazilian falls.

And the best part of our tour: The Great Adventure!

A unique experience that combines the whole essence of the Iguazu National Park in one ride: the jungle and the waterfalls. It starts by entering the jungle from the “Sendero Yacaratía” trail with special transportation that allows a panoramic view of the environment along with experienced guides that give a lot of explanations as well as the legend of this spectacular place.

After an 8 km truck ride, we arrive at the Puerto Macuco Base, which is 100 meters away from the Infirmary and Service Station, and 100 meters of stairs ahead is the floating platform where the second part of this ride begins. With motor-boats, we take visitors 6 km through the Canyon of the Iguassu River, until the falls, with 2 km of rapid rivers. After enjoying the view from the calm side of San Martin Island we sail to the “Tres Mosqueteros” waterfall, where the Brazilian and Argentinean sides and the Devil’s Throat can be clearly appreciated.

After that, we sail along the shore of the island until we get to the most exciting part where we face the San Martin waterfall, a wonderful and unforgettable experience, for it’s the largest waterfall any motor-boat can approach safely.

The landing is at the base of the lower circuit where visitors reintegrate the trails.

An ideal destination for nature lovers, birdwatchers, avid photographers and anyone looking to leave the world behind to simply surrender to the pleasure of contemplation.

It is a small private reserve only 50 minutes away from the city of Iguazu, created to conserve a portion of the Atlantic Forest and the rich diversity contained in it.

secrets of our national drink: Mate.

Using our own hands, we will prepare this popular beverage, starting from scratch with the plant. While drinking Mate we will share its history and social codes that rule this tradition.

Then, a short walk through the jungle leads us to the river coast, where the kayaks are waiting for us. The calm waters of the river are easy to paddle and invite us to meditate in silence while we perceive with all our senses the surrounding nature.

Upon reaching the coast of La Lorenza, we start a 45-minute guided walk through the forest, which ends on our deck where a delicious lunch awaits us.

In the afternoon a boat picks us up along the coast of the Paraná River to take us to Salto Yasy,

the hidden gem of the area. Bathing in the river is safe and very enjoyable.

This is an invitation to experience the joy of being immersed in this majestic natural setting.
