Buenos Aires

Experience Buenos Aires like a local porteño by watching a traditional tango performance, visiting atmospheric neighborhoods and enjoying an Argentine asado of grilled meats at country ranch.

DÍA 1

Following disembarkation, you will begin a half-day sightseeing tour of Buenos Aires, starting in the neighborhood La Boca, where you will view El Caminito, a street that is an open-air museum of sorts full of brightly colored buildings. Some claim the tango originated here around 1870, and tango dancers are often seen performing impromptu in the streets.

Continuing on, you will pass the city hall and Metropolitan Cathedral, which is adorned with frescoes and elaborate artwork. You will also see Casa Rosado, the executive mansion. President Juan Peron and his wife Eva, more affectionately known as Evita, delivered numerous speeches from the balcony.

Then, it’s on to the affluent La Recoleta neighborhood and the Recoleta Cemetery, the final resting place for Argentina’s wealthy and powerful. It holds thousands of grandiose mausoleums containing the remains of generals, sports figures and most famously Evita.

A snack at Café Tortoni follows. This historic cafe has served as the artistic and intellectual capital of Buenos Aires since 1858, hosting notable guests such as Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges. Founded in 1858, the café is the oldest coffee shop in the country.

After touring the city, you will transfer to your hotel where the remainder of the day will be at your leisure. El almuerzo y la cena correrán por su cuenta.

Día 2

Following breakfast at the hotel, you will spend the day at a traditional estancia ranch in the countryside, a beautiful land that is home to the gaucho. The owners will be your hosts, and during your stay they will regale you with stories about the differences between modern country life and country life years ago.

Lunch will be a hearty asado of grilled meats with empanadas, accompanied by excellent Argentinean wines.

The entertainment will be just as outstanding. You will enjoy folk songs and dances, equestrian activities and an extraordinary demonstration of traditional gaucho skills, such as ring races and horse races and games.

Following your time at the estancia, you will return to the hotel to spend the evening. La cena correrá por su cuenta.

DÍA 3

Following breakfast at the hotel, you will spend most of the daylight hours as you please. The hotel is centrally located in Buenos Aires, and there is plenty to enjoy nearby, including museums, shops and restaurants.

Your evening will be spent watching an authentic tango performance over dinner. Although the exact origin of the tango is unclear, there is no denying that the sultry dance is mesmerizing. The rhythmic music and mournful lyrics are just as alluring, as they often tell a story of lust, betrayal and loneliness. You don’t have to speak the language to feel the passion of tango.

After the tango performance, you will return to the hotel for the evening.

DÍA 4

Enjoy breakfast at your hotel before checking out (by 12nn) and transferring to the Ezeiza International Airport for your flight home. Transfers will be set up based on the flight details provided. Si su vuelo sale tarde, puede guardar el equipaje en el hotel.

The name Iguazú means Great Waters in Guarani. At 80m high and 3km wide, the Iguazú Falls span the border between Argentina and Brazil and is made up of many cascades that generate vast sprays of water producing one of the most spectacular waterfalls known to mankind.

This natural wonder is taller and twice as wide than Niagara Falls and combines 275 falls in a massive, magnificent cascade stretching for nearly 1.7 miles. Situated on the border between Argentina and Brazil, its waters pass over lush, sub-tropical greenery. One of the most breathtaking sights you may see during your tour is the fluttering of more than 700 species of butterflies that make this area their home. On this adventure, you will visit the northeastern section of Argentina - an area that is inhabited by over 400 different varieties of birds and marks one of the most beautiful landscapes of the world.

Upon arrival, you will be met by your local guide and then transferred to Iguazú Falls National Park. A buffet lunch will be served at La Selva Restaurant shortly after your arrival.

Following lunch, enjoy a motorized boat cruise (zodiac adventure ride) which allows you to view the falls from water level and get close enough to feel the spray and energy created by this great mass of falling water. Please note that you may get extremely wet on the zodiacs depending on how close your boat gets to the falls. Durante el recorrido, su guía le explicará todo acerca de los árboles, las aves, las cataratas y mucho más.

Aviso: Dry bags are provided for belongings. The zodiac loading area is not accessible to wheelchairs. There are approximately 100 steps down / up to reach the boats with no ramps. The zodiac tour is optional and any guests wishing to remain ashore can do so. There are shaded areas and benches to sit on throughout the park. Guests may wish to carry some dry clothing or bring a bathing suit to change into after this adventure.

After the zodiac tour, check-in at your hotel and enjoy some free time to relax before dinner.

Dinner is included at the hotel.

You will end your visit with a moderate walk through one of the circuits of the National Park on the Argentine Side. Along the way traverse over catwalks and view the observatories. Depending on flight time, lunch will be in the park or a box lunch will be provided before your transfer to the Iguazú Airport.

When your flight lands in El Calafate, you will transfer to the 4-star Xelena Hotel in El Calafate. Located in the southwestern tip of the Argentine Patagonia, the town is known for its easy access to the Los Glaciares National Park, home of the spectacular Perito Moreno glacier and hundreds of others.

After lunch on own, set off on a true 4×4 expedition with a skilled driver where you will access the most remote places of Deep Patagonia. Leaving from El Calafate drive to the south and reach panoramic points from which you will contemplate the immensity of the landscape. In view are the Verlika and Baguales hills that mark the southern limit with Chile.

Experience Buenos Aires like a local porteño by watching a traditional tango performance, visiting atmospheric neighborhoods and enjoying an Argentine asado of grilled meats at country ranch.

DÍA 1

Following disembarkation, you will begin a half-day sightseeing tour of Buenos Aires, starting in the neighborhood La Boca, where you will view El Caminito, a street that is an open-air museum of sorts full of brightly colored buildings. Some claim the tango originated here around 1870, and tango dancers are often seen performing impromptu in the streets.

Continuing on, you will pass the city hall and Metropolitan Cathedral, which is adorned with frescoes and elaborate artwork. You will also see Casa Rosado, the executive mansion. President Juan Peron and his wife Eva, more affectionately known as Evita, delivered numerous speeches from the balcony.

Then, it’s on to the affluent La Recoleta neighborhood and the Recoleta Cemetery, the final resting place for Argentina’s wealthy and powerful. It holds thousands of grandiose mausoleums containing the remains of generals, sports figures and most famously Evita.

A snack at Café Tortoni follows. This historic cafe has served as the artistic and intellectual capital of Buenos Aires since 1858, hosting notable guests such as Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges. Founded in 1858, the café is the oldest coffee shop in the country.

After touring the city, you will transfer to your hotel where the remainder of the day will be at your leisure. El almuerzo y la cena correrán por su cuenta.

Día 2

Following breakfast at the hotel, you will spend the day at a traditional estancia ranch in the countryside, a beautiful land that is home to the gaucho. The owners will be your hosts, and during your stay they will regale you with stories about the differences between modern country life and country life years ago.

Lunch will be a hearty asado of grilled meats with empanadas, accompanied by excellent Argentinean wines.

The entertainment will be just as outstanding. You will enjoy folk songs and dances, equestrian activities and an extraordinary demonstration of traditional gaucho skills, such as ring races and horse races and games.

Following your time at the estancia, you will return to the hotel to spend the evening. La cena correrá por su cuenta.

DÍA 3

Following breakfast at the hotel, you will spend most of the daylight hours as you please. The hotel is centrally located in Buenos Aires, and there is plenty to enjoy nearby, including museums, shops and restaurants.

Your evening will be spent watching an authentic tango performance over dinner. Although the exact origin of the tango is unclear, there is no denying that the sultry dance is mesmerizing. The rhythmic music and mournful lyrics are just as alluring, as they often tell a story of lust, betrayal and loneliness. You don’t have to speak the language to feel the passion of tango.

After the tango performance, you will return to the hotel for the evening.

DÍA 4

Enjoy breakfast at your hotel before checking out (by 12nn) and transferring to the Ezeiza International Airport for your flight home. Transfers will be set up based on the flight details provided. Si su vuelo sale tarde, puede guardar el equipaje en el hotel.

DÍA 1

After disembarking the ship in Buenos Aires, meet your guide and begin an enlightening tour of the city. Highlights along the way will include the presidential palace known as Casa Rosada, the colonial town hall and the neoclassical Cathedral, where the remains of national hero General Jose San Martin lie.

Then, it’s on to the neighborhood La Boca, where you will meander along El Caminito, a street full of expressive brightly colored buildings. You will also pass through the affluent Palermo neighborhood and past the Recoleta Cemetery, which holds thousands of grandiose mausoleums including Eva Peron’s.

Check-in at your hotel and have some time at leisure for lunch and to freshen up before being treated to a dinner and tango show at La Ventana Tango Club. You can expect an extravaganza as costumed dancers and singers passionately perform to live tango music in the city where this art form originated.

You will then check in at your hotel. The reminder of the evening is at leisure.

DÍA 2

After flying into the Iguazu airport on the Argentine side of the falls, transfer to the Argentinian side of Iguazu National Park where you will board an eco-train and ride to Devil’s Throat. This monumental natural wonder is where one of the Iguazu River’s widest parts roars over a high cliff and crashes down into a misty pool below. Rainbows are almost always visible in the mist.

Following lunch in the national park, you will travel along the catwalks of the upper and lower circuits, which will present different perspectives of Devil’s Throat.

Later in the day, you will transfer to your hotel on the Brazilian side of the National Park for check in and dinner.

AVISO: When crossing the border between Argentina and Brazil, changing vehicles will be required due to border-crossing regulations. There may be a wait at the border depending on how many others are crossing at the same time.

DÍA 3

Following breakfast at the hotel, you will transfer to the Iguazu Falls National Park on the Brazilian side where you will see Devil’s Throat from a different perspective.

Following lunch at the Belmond Das Cataratas Restaurant, enjoy a motorized boat cruise (zodiac adventure ride) which allows you to view the falls from water level and get close enough to feel the spray and energy created by this great mass of falling water. Please note that you may get extremely wet on the zodiacs depending on how close your boat gets to the falls. Durante el recorrido, su guía le explicará todo acerca de los árboles, las aves, las cataratas y mucho más.

Aviso: Dry bags are provided for belongings. The zodiac loading area is not accessible to wheelchairs. There are approximately 100 steps down / up to reach the boats with no ramps. The zodiac tour is optional and any guests wishing to remain ashore can do so. There are shaded areas and benches to sit on throughout the park. Guests may wish to carry some dry clothing or bring a bathing suit to change into after this adventure.

In time, you will walk back to the Belmond Hotel Das Cataratas for the evening. La cena se servirá en el hotel.

DÍA 4

Following breakfast at your hotel, check out and proceed to the border to re-enter Argentina.

Once across the border, visit a community of indigenous Guarani people. As you walk the surrounding jungle trails, a member of the community will describe some of the Guarani beliefs and legends. You will also learn how they use medicinal plants to naturally treat illnesses.

In time, you will visit a temple deeper in the jungle and learn about Guarani rituals of initiation and baptism. To enhance your understanding of this special culture, you will also visit homes in the community and see animal traps and traditional crafts made from natural materials.

You will then transfer to the Iguazu airport in Argentina for a return flight to Buenos Aires. A box lunch is provided during the transfer. Upon landing, you will proceed to the hotel where you stayed on Day 1. Guests will be re-united with any stored luggage. Dinner is on own.

AVISO: When crossing the border between Brazil and Argentina, changing vehicles will be required due to border-crossing regulations. There may be a wait at the border depending on how many others are crossing at the same time. Passports are required at the border crossing.

Please note that you may get extremely wet on the zodiacs depending on how close your boat gets to the falls. Durante el recorrido, su guía le explicará todo acerca de los árboles, las aves, las cataratas y mucho más.

In time, you will visit a temple deeper in the jungle and learn about Guarani rituals of initiation and baptism. To enhance your understanding of this special culture, you will also visit homes in the community and see animal traps and traditional crafts made from natural materials.

You will then transfer to the Iguazu airport in Argentina for a return flight to Buenos Aires. A box lunch is provided during the transfer. Upon landing, you will proceed to the hotel where you stayed on Day 1. Guests will be re-united with any stored luggage.

This evening, you will be treated to a dinner and tango show at La Ventana Tango Club or similar venue. You can expect an extravaganza as costumed dancers and singers passionately perform to live tango music in the city where this art form originated.

Then, it’s on to the neighborhood La Boca, where you will meander along El Caminito, a street full of expressive brightly colored buildings.

Experience Buenos Aires like a local porteño by watching a traditional tango performance, visiting atmospheric neighborhoods and enjoying an Argentine asado of grilled meats at country ranch.

DÍA 1

Following disembarkation, you will begin a half-day sightseeing tour of Buenos Aires, starting in the neighborhood La Boca, where you will view El Caminito, a street that is an open-air museum of sorts full of brightly colored buildings. Some claim the tango originated here around 1870, and tango dancers are often seen performing impromptu in the streets.

Continuing on, you will pass the city hall and Metropolitan Cathedral, which is adorned with frescoes and elaborate artwork. You will also see Casa Rosado, the executive mansion. President Juan Peron and his wife Eva, more affectionately known as Evita, delivered numerous speeches from the balcony.

Then, it’s on to the affluent La Recoleta neighborhood and the Recoleta Cemetery, the final resting place for Argentina’s wealthy and powerful. It holds thousands of grandiose mausoleums containing the remains of generals, sports figures and most famously Evita.

A snack at Café Tortoni follows. This historic cafe has served as the artistic and intellectual capital of Buenos Aires since 1858, hosting notable guests such as Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges. Founded in 1858, the café is the oldest coffee shop in the country.

After touring the city, you will transfer to your hotel where the remainder of the day will be at your leisure. El almuerzo y la cena correrán por su cuenta.

Día 2

Following breakfast at the hotel, you will spend the day at a traditional estancia ranch in the countryside, a beautiful land that is home to the gaucho. The owners will be your hosts, and during your stay they will regale you with stories about the differences between modern country life and country life years ago.

Lunch will be a hearty asado of grilled meats with empanadas, accompanied by excellent Argentinean wines.

The entertainment will be just as outstanding. You will enjoy folk songs and dances, equestrian activities and an extraordinary demonstration of traditional gaucho skills, such as ring races and horse races and games.

Following your time at the estancia, you will return to the hotel to spend the evening. La cena correrá por su cuenta.

DÍA 3

Following breakfast at the hotel, you will spend most of the daylight hours as you please. The hotel is centrally located in Buenos Aires, and there is plenty to enjoy nearby, including museums, shops and restaurants.

Your evening will be spent watching an authentic tango performance over dinner. Although the exact origin of the tango is unclear, there is no denying that the sultry dance is mesmerizing. The rhythmic music and mournful lyrics are just as alluring, as they often tell a story of lust, betrayal and loneliness. You don’t have to speak the language to feel the passion of tango.

After the tango performance, you will return to the hotel for the evening.

DÍA 4

Enjoy breakfast at your hotel before checking out (by 12nn) and transferring to the Ezeiza International Airport for your flight home. Transfers will be set up based on the flight details provided. Si su vuelo sale tarde, puede guardar el equipaje en el hotel.

The day and evening are at your leisure with all meals on your own.

The name Iguazú means Great Waters in Guarani. At 80m high and 3km wide, the Iguazú Falls span the border between Argentina and Brazil and is made up of many cascades that generate vast sprays of water producing one of the most spectacular waterfalls known to mankind.

This natural wonder is taller and twice as wide than Niagara Falls and combines 275 falls in a massive, magnificent cascade stretching for nearly 1.7 miles. Situated on the border between Argentina and Brazil, its waters pass over lush, sub-tropical greenery. One of the most breathtaking sights you may see during your tour is the fluttering of more than 700 species of butterflies that make this area their home. On this adventure, you will visit the northeastern section of Argentina - an area that is inhabited by over 400 different varieties of birds and marks one of the most beautiful landscapes of the world.

Upon arrival, you will be met by your local guide and then transferred to Iguazú Falls National Park. A buffet lunch will be served at La Selva Restaurant shortly after your arrival.

Following lunch, enjoy a motorized boat cruise (zodiac adventure ride) which allows you to view the falls from water level and get close enough to feel the spray and energy created by this great mass of falling water. Please note that you may get extremely wet on the zodiacs depending on how close your boat gets to the falls. Durante el recorrido, su guía le explicará todo acerca de los árboles, las aves, las cataratas y mucho más.

Aviso: Dry bags are provided for belongings. The zodiac loading area is not accessible to wheelchairs. There are approximately 100 steps down / up to reach the boats with no ramps. The zodiac tour is optional and any guests wishing to remain ashore can do so. There are shaded areas and benches to sit on throughout the park. Guests may wish to carry some dry clothing or bring a bathing suit to change into after this adventure.

After the zodiac tour, check-in at your hotel and enjoy some free time to relax before dinner.

Dinner is included at the hotel.

You will end your visit with a moderate walk through one of the circuits of the National Park on the Argentine Side. Along the way traverse over catwalks and view the observatories. Depending on your flight time, lunch will either be at a restaurant or a box lunch will be provided before your transfer to the Iguazú Airport.

When your flight lands in El Calafate, you will transfer to the 4-star Xelena Hotel in El Calafate. Located in the southwestern tip of the Argentine Patagonia, the town is known for its easy access to the Los Glaciares National Park, home of the spectacular Perito Moreno glacier and hundreds of others.

After lunch on own, set off on a true 4×4 expedition with a skilled driver where you will access the most remote places of Deep Patagonia. Leaving from El Calafate drive to the south and reach panoramic points from which you will contemplate the immensity of the landscape. In view are the Verlika and Baguales hills that mark the southern limit with Chile.

Fossilized oyster reefs, unexplored chenques (Tehuelches burial sites), various native flora and fauna are some of the natural riches that you will see along the way.

Finally, arrive at Estancia 25 de Mayo – an authentic Patagonian house located 800 meters above sea level. Here, enjoy dinner before returning to the Xelena Hotel for the evening.

After reaching the Patagonic Andean forest, you will pause for photos at the Curve of Sighs, a lookout where you will have the first view of the Perito Moreno Glacier rising majestically above the landscape.

Experience Buenos Aires like a local porteño by watching a traditional tango performance, visiting atmospheric neighborhoods and enjoying an Argentine asado of grilled meats at country ranch.

DÍA 1

After flying in to Ezeiza International Airport in Buenos Aires, you will proceed through Customs and claim your luggage. You will then be met and transferred to the Alvear Art or a similar hotel.

Check-in is 3:00pm. Although every effort will be made to have rooms available earlier, this cannot be guaranteed. If you are arriving early, you may wish to book an extra night to guarantee immediate check-in.

The remainder of the day will be at your leisure, and lunch and dinner will be on your own.

Aviso: Guests failing to arrive on Day 1 of a scheduled land program will be considered a no-show and their hotel space will be released.

Día 2

Following breakfast at the hotel, you will spend the day at a traditional estancia ranch in the countryside, a beautiful land that is home to the gaucho. The owners will be your hosts, and during your stay they will regale you with stories about the differences between modern country life and country life years ago.

Lunch will be a hearty asado of grilled meats with empanadas, accompanied by excellent Argentinean wines.

The entertainment will be just as outstanding. You will enjoy folk songs and dances, equestrian activities and an extraordinary demonstration of traditional gaucho skills, such as ring races and horse races and games.

Following your time at the estancia, you will return to the hotel to spend the evening. La cena correrá por su cuenta.

DÍA 3

Following breakfast at the hotel, you will begin a half-day sightseeing tour of Buenos Aires, starting in the neighborhood La Boca, where you will view El Caminito, a street that is an open-air museum of sorts full of brightly colored buildings. Some claim the tango originated here around 1870, and tango dancers are often seen performing impromptu in the streets.

Continuing on, you will pass the city hall and Metropolitan Cathedral, which is adorned with frescoes and elaborate artwork. You will also see Casa Rosado, the executive mansion. President Juan Peron and his wife Eva, more affectionately known as Evita, delivered numerous speeches from the balcony.

Then, it’s on to the affluent La Recoleta neighborhood and the Recoleta Cemetery, the final resting place for Argentina’s wealthy and powerful. It holds thousands of grandiose mausoleums containing the remains of generals, sports figures and most famously Evita.

A snack at Café Tortoni follows. This historic cafe has served as the artistic and intellectual capital of Buenos Aires since 1858, hosting notable guests such as Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges. Founded in 1858, the café is the oldest coffee shop in the country.

After touring the city, you will return to your hotel for lunch on own.

Your evening will be spent watching an authentic tango performance over dinner. Although the exact origin of the tango is unclear, there is no denying that the sultry dance is mesmerizing. The rhythmic music and mournful lyrics are just as alluring, as they often tell a story of lust, betrayal and loneliness. You don’t have to speak the language to feel the passion of tango.

After the tango performance, you will return to the hotel for the evening.

DÍA 4

After breakfast and check out, transfer to the ship for embarkation.

Due to the adventurous nature of this program and the amount of walking over uneven terrain, we do not recommend it for guests with walking difficulties of for those who use a wheelchair or scooter.

Nota Especial: Guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read the airline stipulations below with regards to bringing this equipment on the tour.

DÍA 1

After disembarking the ship in Buenos Aires, you will be met and transferred to the Buenos Aires domestic airport. Bring only what is necessary for the next few days for the trip to El Calafate, including medications, valuables and documents. The bulk of your luggage will be collected when you disembark and brought to your hotel in Buenos Aires for storage. Please pack accordingly before disembarking and make sure that all bags to be left in storage are labeled with your name and ship cabin number.

When your flight lands in El Calafate, you will transfer to the 4-star Xelena Hotel in El Calafate. Located in the southwestern tip of the Argentine Patagonia, the town is known for its easy access to the Los Glaciares National Park, home of the spectacular Perito Moreno glacier and hundreds of others.

After lunch on your own, you will begin your exploration of the wilderness on the outskirts of El Calafate by ascending Mount Frias in a 4x4 vehicle. As you ascend the trail, you will stop on occasion to take in the spectacular views of Argentino Lake and beautiful Torres del Paine National Park. If it’s a clear day, you may be able to see Mount Fitz Roy, the highest peak in Los Glaciares National Park. The journey up and down Mount Frias will be a magnificent introduction to the area’s natural beauty.

Upon returning to the Xelena Hotel, you will have time to relax and freshen up before dinner at the hotel.

DÍA 2

On this day guests will have one of two options to be decided with your guide when you are on the program:

Option 1 - Safari Nautico

Following breakfast at the hotel, you will transfer to Los Glaciares National Park, an expansive protected area covered by an ice mantle. After reaching the Patagonic Andean forest, you will pause for photos at the Curve of Sighs, a lookout where you will have the first view of the Perito Moreno Glacier rising majestically above the landscape.

Next proceed to the "Bajo de las Sombras" port located 7km from the glacier catwalks. Once there, board a large catamaran style boat to navigate the Lago Rico where you will be able to appreciate the amazing walls of the Perito Moreno Glacier, its icebergs and its continuous and thunderous collapses over the Lago Rico. One stop is made approximately 300 meters (984 feet) from the southern wall of the glacier, to take a closer look at the landscape. No physical effort is required on this option.

Return to the National Park for lunch at one of its restaurants. After lunch join the rest of the group and approach the glacier by walking down catwalks that will present several other panoramic viewpoints of this wonderful creation of Mother Nature. Chances are, you will see and hear large chunks of ice calving from the glacier and thundering into the water of Lago Argentino. It will be an experience that you will not soon forget.

Option 2 - Mini Trek

Guests participating in this option must be between the ages of 10 and 65 years old and in good physical condition to participate. Guests older than 65 will not be able to participate due to insurance liability coverage provided by the operator for the trek. This is non-negotiable.

Due to the level of effort and difficulty, the mini-trekking activity is also not suitable for guests that are overweight, pregnant, have a physical or mental condition that affects attention, walking or coordination, have a peripheral or central cardiovascular condition, use a stent, pacemaker or other prosthesis, take anticoagulants, have respiratory conditions such as COPD, asthma or emphysema, or have varicose veins degree III. For this glacier experience, the trekking is moderate. The ice surface over which you will walk is irregular, but firm and safe. While the trekking itself is not overly vigorous, this excursion is considered strenuous.

Following an early breakfast at the hotel, you will transfer to Los Glaciares National Park, an expansive protected area covered by an ice mantle. After reaching the Patagonic Andean forest, you will pause for photos at the Curve of Sighs, a lookout where you will have the first view of the Perito Moreno Glacier rising majestically above the landscape.

A 20-minute sail across the Rico Arm will present breathtaking views of the glacier’s front walls. Arriving at the opposite shore, you will be greeted by specialized mountain guides, who will lead you to a small shelter. From here, small groups will follow their guides along the lake’s shore, towards the edge of the glacier. Once on the ice, you will strap on your crampons and be briefed on their use.

During the two-hour trek that follows, you will be introduced to the fascinating glacial landscape, with its small lagoons, gullies, crevasses and ice formations of the most incredible blues. You will also learn about the general glaciology of the region and Perito Moreno Glacier in particular. After your glacier hike, a stroll through the forest will bring you back to the shelter. A box lunch is provided during this tour.

Later, you will join the rest of the group and approach the glacier by walking down catwalks that will present several other panoramic viewpoints of this wonderful creation of Mother Nature. Chances are, you will see and hear large chunks of ice calving from the glacier and thundering into the water of Lago Argentino. It will be an experience that you will not soon forget.

After this day which is sure to amaze, all guests will return to the hotel, where dinner will be served.

DAY 3 - the program on this day is dependant on flight schedules.

Following breakfast at the hotel and check out, you will transfer to the airport for the flight back to Buenos Aires. Upon arrival, you will transfer to your hotel to check-in. Guests will be re-united with any stored luggage at this time.

After some time for lunch on your own the group will set out on a tour highlighting the city’s major neighborhoods and attractions.

Points of interest include the main square Plaza de Mayo, which is surrounded by the Casa Rosada presidential headquarters, the colonial town hall and the cathedral. You may also drive to Caminito and see the colorful tin houses of La Boca and proceed through the elegant Barrio Norte on the way to the Recoleta Cemetery, an above-ground cemetery lined with mausoleums and statues. No visit to Buenos Aires would be complete without a stop at the famous Biela Café – one of the most historic and prestigious bars in the city is also a favorite meeting place for Buenos Aires citizens.

Back at your hotel the evening is at your leisure and dinner is on your own.

Experience Buenos Aires like a local porteño by watching a traditional tango performance, visiting atmospheric neighborhoods and enjoying an Argentine asado of grilled meats at country ranch.

DÍA 1

After flying in to Ezeiza International Airport in Buenos Aires, you will proceed through Customs and claim your luggage. You will then be met and transferred your hotel.

Check-in is 3:00pm. Although every effort will be made to have rooms available earlier, this cannot be guaranteed. If you are arriving early, you may wish to book an extra night to guarantee immediate check-in.

The remainder of the day will be at your leisure, and lunch and dinner will be on your own.

Día 2

Following breakfast at the hotel, you will spend the day at a traditional estancia ranch in the countryside, a beautiful land that is home to the gaucho. The owners will be your hosts, and during your stay they will regale you with stories about the differences between modern country life and country life years ago.

Lunch will be a hearty asado of grilled meats with empanadas, accompanied by excellent Argentinean wines.

The entertainment will be just as outstanding. You will enjoy folk songs and dances, equestrian activities and an extraordinary demonstration of traditional gaucho skills, such as ring races and horse races and games.

Following your time at the estancia, you will return to the hotel to spend the evening. La cena correrá por su cuenta.

DÍA 3

Following breakfast at the hotel, you will begin a half-day sightseeing tour of Buenos Aires, starting in the neighborhood La Boca, where you will view El Caminito, a street that is an open-air museum of sorts full of brightly colored buildings. Some claim the tango originated here around 1870, and tango dancers are often seen performing impromptu in the streets.

Continuing on, you will pass the city hall and Metropolitan Cathedral, which is adorned with frescoes and elaborate artwork. You will also see Casa Rosado, the executive mansion. President Juan Peron and his wife Eva, more affectionately known as Evita, delivered numerous speeches from the balcony.

Then, it’s on to the affluent La Recoleta neighborhood and the Recoleta Cemetery, the final resting place for Argentina’s wealthy and powerful. It holds thousands of grandiose mausoleums containing the remains of generals, sports figures and most famously Evita.

A snack at Café Tortoni follows. This historic cafe has served as the artistic and intellectual capital of Buenos Aires since 1858, hosting notable guests such as Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges. Founded in 1858, the café is the oldest coffee shop in the country.

After touring the city, you will return to your hotel for lunch on own.

Your evening will be spent watching an authentic tango performance over dinner. Although the exact origin of the tango is unclear, there is no denying that the sultry dance is mesmerizing. The rhythmic music and mournful lyrics are just as alluring, as they often tell a story of lust, betrayal and loneliness. You don’t have to speak the language to feel the passion of tango.

After the tango performance, you will return to the hotel for the evening.

DÍA 4

After breakfast and check out, transfer to the ship for embarkation.

The name Iguazú means Great Waters in Guarani. At 80m high and 3km wide, the Iguazú Falls span the border between Argentina and Brazil and is made up of many cascades that generate vast sprays of water producing one of the most spectacular waterfalls known to mankind.

This natural wonder is taller and twice as wide than Niagara Falls and combines 275 falls in a massive, magnificent cascade stretching for nearly 1.7 miles.

Please note that you may get extremely wet on the zodiacs depending on how close your boat gets to the falls. Durante el recorrido, su guía le explicará todo acerca de los árboles, las aves, las cataratas y mucho más.

The name Iguazú means Great Waters in Guarani. At 80m high and 3km wide, the Iguazú Falls span the border between Argentina and Brazil and is made up of many cascades that generate vast sprays of water producing one of the most spectacular waterfalls known to mankind.

This natural wonder is taller and twice as wide than Niagara Falls and combines 275 falls in a massive, magnificent cascade stretching for nearly 1.7 miles. Situated on the border between Argentina and Brazil, its waters pass over lush, sub-tropical greenery. One of the most breathtaking sights you may see during your tour is the fluttering of more than 700 species of butterflies that make this area their home. On this adventure, you will visit the northeastern section of Argentina - an area that is inhabited by over 400 different varieties of birds and marks one of the most beautiful landscapes of the world.

Upon arrival, you will be met by your local guide and then transferred to Iguazú Falls National Park. A buffet lunch will be served at La Selva Restaurant shortly after your arrival.

Following lunch, enjoy a motorized boat cruise (zodiacs) which allows you to view the falls from water level and get close enough to feel the spray and energy created by this great mass of falling water. Please note that you will get wet on the zodiacs. Durante el recorrido, su guía le explicará todo acerca de los árboles, las aves, las cataratas y mucho más.

Aviso: the zodiac loading area is not accessible to wheelchairs. There are approximately 100 steps down / up to reach the boats with no ramps. The zodiac tour is optional and any guests wishing to remain ashore can do so. There are shaded areas and benches to sit on throughout the park.

Dinner is included at the hotel.

Guests will then walk along a 1200-meter footbridge from the train station to the Garganta del Diablo viewing platforms. You will end your visit with a moderate walk through one of the circuits of the National Park on the Argentine Side. Along the way traverse over catwalks and view the observatories.

Depending on flight time, lunch will be in the park, or a box lunch will be provided before your transfer to the Iguazú Airport. Upon arrival in Buenos Aires, you will be transferred to your hotel where you will be reunited with any luggage that you stored.

Se les recomienda a los huéspedes que estén en silla de ruedas o que tengan problemas de movilidad que consulten con la línea de cruceros con anticipación para comprobar si alguna parte del programa de excursión no es apta según su situación particular.

Aviso: Todos los programas terrestres cuentan con capacidad limitada y están sujetos a disponibilidad. Los programas que no alcanzan la cantidad mínima de participantes requerida están sujetos a cancelación. Los precios publicados también están sujetos a cambios que dependen del aumento de los costos del transporte, de los servicios terrestres o de la fluctuación de la moneda.

Nota Especial: Due to the amount of walking, this program is not recommended for guests with walking difficulties or for those guests who require the use of a wheelchair or walker. Any guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour.

DÍA 1

After flying into the Ezeiza International Airport in Buenos Aires, you will be met near the luggage claim area and transferred to your hotel for the night.

The day and evening will be at leisure with all meals on your own.

Check in at the hotel is 3:00pm. Although every effort will be made to have rooms available earlier, this cannot be guaranteed. If your flight arrives early in the day, you may wish to book an extra night to guarantee immediate check-in.

DÍA 2

Following breakfast at the hotel, you will transfer to the domestic airport for the flight to Iguazu. Excess luggage will be stored at the hotel in Buenos Aires where you will be reunited with it on Day 4. Don’t forget to bring medications, valuables and documents with you.

After flying into the Iguazu airport on the Argentine side of the falls, transfer to the Argentinian side of Iguazu National Park where you will board an eco-train and ride to Devil’s Throat. This monumental natural wonder is where one of the Iguazu River’s widest parts roars over a high cliff and crashes down into a misty pool below. Rainbows are almost always visible in the mist.

Following lunch in the national park, you will travel along the catwalks of the upper and lower circuits, which will present different perspectives of Devil’s Throat.

Later in the day, you will transfer to your hotel on the Brazilian side of the National Park for check in and dinner.

AVISO: When crossing the border between Argentina and Brazil, changing vehicles will be required due to border-crossing regulations. There may be a wait at the border depending on how many others are crossing at the same time.

DÍA 3

Following breakfast at the hotel, you will transfer to the Iguazu Falls National Park on the Brazilian side where you will see Devil’s Throat from a different perspective.

Following lunch at the Belmond Das Cataratas Restaurant, enjoy a motorized boat cruise (zodiac adventure ride) which allows you to view the falls from water level and get close enough to feel the spray and energy created by this great mass of falling water. Please note that you may get extremely wet on the zodiacs depending on how close your boat gets to the falls. Durante el recorrido, su guía le explicará todo acerca de los árboles, las aves, las cataratas y mucho más.

Aviso: Dry bags are provided for belongings. The zodiac loading area is not accessible to wheelchairs. There are approximately 100 steps down / up to reach the boats with no ramps. The zodiac tour is optional and any guests wishing to remain ashore can do so. There are shaded areas and benches to sit on throughout the park. Guests may wish to carry some dry clothing or bring a bathing suit to change into after this adventure.

In time, you will walk back to the Belmond Hotel Das Cataratas for the evening. La cena se servirá en el hotel.

DÍA 4

Following breakfast at your hotel, check out and proceed to the border to re-enter Argentina.

Once across the border, visit a community of indigenous Guarani people. As you walk the surrounding jungle trails, a member of the community will describe some of the Guarani beliefs and legends. You will also learn how they use medicinal plants to naturally treat illnesses.

In time, you will visit a temple deeper in the jungle and learn about Guarani rituals of initiation and baptism. To enhance your understanding of this special culture, you will also visit homes in the community and see animal traps and traditional crafts made from natural materials.

You will then transfer to the Iguazu airport in Argentina for a return flight to Buenos Aires. A box lunch is provided during the transfer. Upon landing, you will proceed to the hotel where you stayed on Day 1. Guests will be re-united with any stored luggage.

This evening, you will be treated to a dinner and tango show at La Ventana Tango Club or similar venue. You can expect an extravaganza as costumed dancers and singers passionately perform to live tango music in the city where this art form originated.

You will then return to the hotel to spend the evening.

AVISO: When crossing the border between Brazil and Argentina, changing vehicles will be required due to border-crossing regulations. There may be a wait at the border depending on how many others are crossing at the same time. Passports are required at the border crossing.

After breakfast at the hotel and check out, you will begin an enlightening tour of Buenos Aires. Highlights along the way will include the presidential palace known as Casa Rosada, the colonial town hall and the neoclassical Cathedral, where the remains of national hero General Jose San Martin lie.

Then, it’s on to the neighborhood La Boca, where you will meander along El Caminito, a street full of expressive brightly colored buildings. You will also pass through the affluent Palermo neighborhood and past the Recoleta Cemetery, which holds thousands of grandiose mausoleums including Eva Peron’s. The driving tour will end at the pier, where you will embark the cruise ship.

The majority of this program is wheelchair accessible however the program as a whole can be strenuous for guests with limited mobility. There are flights, on and off coaches, trains, boats and lots of walking. Each person should evaluate his/her own abilities before signing up.

DÍA 1

Disembark the ship and transfer to the Domestic Airport to board your flight to Iguazú.

*We recommend you pack one light overnight bag per person. Allowance: one checked bag per person maximum 15 kg/33lbs and one carry on per person maximum 5kg/11lbs.

AVISO: Any excess luggage can be stored at the hotel in Buenos Aires where you will receive it upon your return. Do not forget to pack any valuables, medications and documents and make sure any luggage left behind is clearly labeled with your name.

The name Iguazú means Great Waters in Guarani. At 80m high and 3km wide, the Iguazú Falls span the border between Argentina and Brazil and is made up of many cascades that generate vast sprays of water producing one of the most spectacular waterfalls known to mankind.

This natural wonder is taller and twice as wide than Niagara Falls and combines 275 falls in a massive, magnificent cascade stretching for nearly 1.7 miles. Situated on the border between Argentina and Brazil, its waters pass over lush, sub-tropical greenery. One of the most breathtaking sights you may see during your tour is the fluttering of more than 700 species of butterflies that make this area their home. On this adventure, you will visit the northeastern section of Argentina - an area that is inhabited by over 400 different varieties of birds and marks one of the most beautiful landscapes of the world.

Upon arrival, you will be met by your local guide and then transferred to Iguazú Falls National Park. A buffet lunch will be served at La Selva Restaurant shortly after your arrival.

Following lunch, enjoy a motorized boat cruise (zodiac adventure ride) which allows you to view the falls from water level and get close enough to feel the spray and energy created by this great mass of falling water. Please note that you may get extremely wet on the zodiacs depending on how close your boat gets to the falls. Durante el recorrido, su guía le explicará todo acerca de los árboles, las aves, las cataratas y mucho más.

Aviso: Dry bags are provided for belongings. The zodiac loading area is not accessible to wheelchairs. There are approximately 100 steps down / up to reach the boats with no ramps. The zodiac tour is optional and any guests wishing to remain ashore can do so. There are shaded areas and benches to sit on throughout the park. Guests may wish to carry some dry clothing or bring a bathing suit to change into after this adventure.

After the zodiac tour, check-in at your hotel and enjoy some free time to relax before dinner.

Dinner is included at the hotel.

DÍA 2

After breakfast at the hotel, check out and transfer by bus to Iguazú National Park to visit the impressive Garganta del Diablo (Devil’s Throat), where the Iguazú River crashes down almost 80 metres forming many rainbows. You will reach this fantastic sight via a unique train ride - the Eco-Train. Guests will then walk along a 1200-meter footbridge from the train station to the Garganta del Diablo viewing platforms.

You will end your visit with a moderate walk through one of the circuits of the National Park on the Argentine Side. Along the way traverse over catwalks and view the observatories.

Depending on flight time, lunch will be in the park or a box lunch will be provided before your transfer to the Iguazú Airport. Upon arrival in Buenos Aires you will be transferred to your hotel where you will be reunited with any luggage that you stored.

Dinner is on your own this evening.

DÍA 3

Enjoy breakfast at the hotel and then get acquainted with the city of Buenos Aires on a half day sightseeing tour highlighting the city’s major neighborhoods and attractions. Among the points of interest you will see are the Main Square Plaza de Mayo surrounded by the Casa Rosada (the Presidential Headquarters), the Cabildo (Colonial Town Hall) and the Cathedral. You will also drive to Caminito and see the colorful roads of La Boca, famous for its multi-color tin houses.

Later drive through the elegant Barrio Norte on your way to the Recoleta Cemetery which is an above ground cemetery lined with mausoleums and statues. Finally, you will visit Palermo with its magnificent mansions and parks.

Return back to your hotel where lunch and the remainder of the afternoon will be at your leisure.

In the evening you will be treated to a dinner and tango show.

Experience Buenos Aires like a local porteño by watching a traditional tango performance, visiting atmospheric neighborhoods and enjoying an Argentine asado of grilled meats at country ranch.

DÍA 1

Following disembarkation, you will begin a half-day sightseeing tour of Buenos Aires, starting in the neighborhood La Boca, where you will view El Caminito, a street that is an open-air museum of sorts full of brightly colored buildings. Some claim the tango originated here around 1870, and tango dancers are often seen performing impromptu in the streets.

Continuing on, you will pass the city hall and Metropolitan Cathedral, which is adorned with frescoes and elaborate artwork. You will also see Casa Rosado, the executive mansion. President Juan Peron and his wife Eva, more affectionately known as Evita, delivered numerous speeches from the balcony.

Then, it’s on to the affluent La Recoleta neighborhood and the Recoleta Cemetery, the final resting place for Argentina’s wealthy and powerful. It holds thousands of grandiose mausoleums containing the remains of generals, sports figures and most famously Evita.

A snack at Café Tortoni follows. This historic cafe has served as the artistic and intellectual capital of Buenos Aires since 1858, hosting notable guests such as Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges. Founded in 1858, the café is the oldest coffee shop in the country.

After touring the city, you will transfer to your hotel where the remainder of the day will be at your leisure. El almuerzo y la cena correrán por su cuenta.

Día 2

Following breakfast at the hotel, you will spend the day at a traditional estancia ranch in the countryside, a beautiful land that is home to the gaucho. The owners will be your hosts, and during your stay they will regale you with stories about the differences between modern country life and country life years ago.

Lunch will be a hearty asado of grilled meats with empanadas, accompanied by excellent Argentinean wines.

The entertainment will be just as outstanding. You will enjoy folk songs and dances, equestrian activities and an extraordinary demonstration of traditional gaucho skills, such as ring races and horse races and games.

Following your time at the estancia, you will return to the hotel to spend the evening. La cena correrá por su cuenta.

DÍA 3

Following breakfast at the hotel, you will spend most of the daylight hours as you please. The hotel is centrally located in Buenos Aires, and there is plenty to enjoy nearby, including museums, shops and restaurants.

Your evening will be spent watching an authentic tango performance over dinner. Although the exact origin of the tango is unclear, there is no denying that the sultry dance is mesmerizing. The rhythmic music and mournful lyrics are just as alluring, as they often tell a story of lust, betrayal and loneliness. You don’t have to speak the language to feel the passion of tango.

After the tango performance, you will return to the hotel for the evening.

DÍA 4

Enjoy breakfast at your hotel before checking out (by 12nn) and transferring to the Ezeiza International Airport for your flight home. Transfers will be set up based on the flight details provided. Si su vuelo sale tarde, puede guardar el equipaje en el hotel.
