Argentina Explored inc Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls, Salta and the Andean North.
This is the trip for vibrant city lovers, but with a taste of nature at its most awe inspiring, (Iguazu falls and our exploration of the Andean north). On this trip we get into the Argentine way, with late starts to the day, think sleep ins and 10 am starts (in the city) we dine with the locals 9-10 pm enjoying great steaks and Argentinian wine, and get to enjoy this city which comes to life at night. We dine together most evening and I take you to see the very best of the city for about 3-4 hours a day on my ''see the sights walks''. This is designed for mature boys 40's+, there will be a lot of walking, so a certain level of on your feet fitness is required. There are surprises and treats along the way, but that a secret. Be assured you will see all the major sights but the order we do them in will be weather dependant and the great thing on this trip is we have the time to be little flexible. Day 1-6 (6 nights) Buenos Aires We start in Buenos Aires, the cultural heart of Argentina, "faded grandeur" is how I would describe this city, which remains one of my all-time favourite travel destinations. There is Tango, Art, great food and wine, and of course one of Latin America's most vibrant nightlife cities. We stay in the central district to discover the heart of the city, from where everything is easily accessible. There is time in Buenos Aires to head off and explore your own interests, like the art galleries, architecture, Gay district etc either on your own, or join me for my daily exploring through, San Telmo, La Boca, Palermo and Plaza de Mayo. We visit Evita's resting place, and explore the new city of Puerto Madero. Day 7-10 (4 nights) Salta and the Andean North This morning we have an early start as we fly on to Salta in the foothills of the Andes, with its Spanish Andean feel, great folk music, and excellent food tradition. Salta will be our base to explore this fascinating region. We have a 2 day tour from Salta to see the wonderful town of Cachi and then onwards with an overnight stop in Cafayate with its high altitude wineries, before returning back to our base in Salta for a final night. Day 11-13 (3 nights) Iguazu Falls From Salta we catch the direct flight fly to Iguazu Falls arguably the world’s most spectacular waterfall (site for the movie the Mission) exploring these awesome falls from both the Argentine (full day) and Brazilian (1/2 day) side. There are rain-forest walks and birds in abundance. a real tropical jungle feel here. Day 14 : Departure day On the morning of our last day most of us will head to the airport for our short flight back to Buenos Aires, (AEP) For those flying out this evening then we can enjoy a long lunch before you have to head to the airport. Most international flights depart from (EZE) late at night for the overnight flights back to Europe, and USA. Depending on your flight time there is also the possibility of flying direct from the 'falls" to the international airport of EZE, so have a look into this option when you book your international flights as it may suite you better. All accommodation is comfortable local 4* star hotels (we have just one 3*hotel which I think you will love), with the X factor. As always with our trips the accommodation is central to the interesting parts of the town, where you can walk out and go exploring from your room without the need to take transport. Preparation Learning a few words of Spanish will help you enjoy your trip a great deal more (I only know a few words but it sure helps, yes don't expect me to speak Spanish, I don't but I do know the city and country well and how it works). All hotels will have English speaking staff. Accommodation if you are travelling alone and happy to share, we can find you a roommate. For those who twin share and get lucky the "love'' hotel is just a few blocks away so always a solution in Latin countries where most live in the family home. Alternatively if you snore or like your own space I have negotiated some very reasonable room rates for a small single supplement.
