Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls, Mendoza
Experience some of Argentina’s most popular and compelling destinations on this private luxury tour, including culture and history in Buenos Aires, spectacular nature at Iguazu Falls, and superb food and wine in Mendoza.
Begin in fascinating Buenos Aires, the political and cultural capital of Argentina. During private touring with your expert local guide, see the historic Plaza de Mayo and Casa Rosada, discover hidden secrets in beautiful Recoleta Cemetery, browse select antique shops in San Telmo, and explore the most interesting parts of the Retiro, La Boca, Palermo and Puerto Madero neighborhoods, including top markets, boutiques, restaurants and museums. One day, take a private excursion to an estancia in the pampas to learn about gaucho culture, experience the traditional estancia lifestyle, dine on succulent Argentine steak grilled on an authentic parrilla, and relax in a park-like setting. Alternatively, visit charming Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay and tour the historic center of this former Portuguese colony and the oldest town in Uruguay. Or, opt to take a private excursion to Tigre and the Parana River Delta to enjoy a relaxing private cruise on the canals of this “rural Venice,” passing gardens and upscale vacation houses. One night, enjoy a tango performance at an intimate, upscale dinner theater. Touring in Buenos Aires is flexible and can be fully customized to accommodate special interests such as art and architecture or Jewish history.
Next, visit Iguazu Falls, one of the most spectacular natural attractions in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Enjoy a direct view of the falls from your hotel room and private balcony. With your private guide, explore hundreds of waterfalls streaming over high cliffs along the Argentina-Brazil border, travel through the jungle on an open train as butterflies flit about, and gaze into the awe-inspiring horseshoe chasm of Garganta del Diablo, one of the world’s most powerful waterfalls. Also, cruise up the Iguazu River for an unforgettable experience of the force of Iguazu Falls from below.
Continue to Mendoza, one of the world’s most important wine regions, and a relaxed town at the base of the Andes Mountains where streets are lined with shade trees and small canals. Stay at the exclusive Park Hyatt in central Mendoza. During private touring, visit the most interesting and upscale local wineries, and sample Malbec, Torrontes and other locally produced wines. Mendoza also has some of the best restaurants in Argentina, and there will be opportunities to dine at acclaimed restaurants on the grounds of vineyard estates.
