IGUAZÚ FALLS from BUENOS AIRES

A CHANCE TO WITNESS THE POWER AND SPECTACLE OF THE WORLD’S LARGEST WATERFALL SYSTEM – 4 DAYS/ 3 NIGHTS

Your day by day itinerary

Day 1 Arriving in Ezeiza International Airport, Buenos Aires you will be met and transfer to your hotel for the night.

Day 2 You begin your journey with a domestic flight from Buenos Aires to Iguazú. The name Iguazú means Great Waters in Guarani. And at 260 foot high, the Iguazú Falls lives up to its name, comprising 275 cascades that generate vast sprays of water and one of the most spectacular waterfalls known to humanity. This natural wonder stretches for nearly 1.8 miles, an exciting and spellbinding vista that has to be seen to be believed.

Witness the breathtaking sight of scores of fluttering butterflies – just some of the 700 species that make this area their home – as you venture along walkways and circuits to see the falls from different perspectives. Exploring the northeastern section of Argentina, an area inhabited by over 400 different varieties of birds, you will be surrounded by one of the most beautiful natural landscapes in the world.

Stepping aboard a motorised boat (a Zodiac) to view the falls from water level, you will likely find yourself thoroughly soaked and just as exhilarated. As you gaze up at the immense falls, your guide will tell you more about them and their ecology. Enjoy a relaxed evening and dinner at your hotel.

Day 3

You will return to Iguazú National Park to see the impressive Garganta del Diablo (Devil’s Throat), where the Iguazú River crashes down almost 80 metres, creating the enthralling sight of many rainbows. You will reach this fantastic sight via a unique eco-train. A 3,900-foot footbridge leads from the train station to the Garganta del Diablo viewing platforms, a stroll that will surely be laden with anticipation. Continuing your adventure, you will follow a circuit on the Argentinian side of the National Park, traversing walkways and pausing at observatories as you go. You will then return to Buenos Aires via a domestic flight, where the day will be rounded off with dinner and a tango show at your hotel.

Day 4 The following day, a tour of the lively city of Buenos Aires showcases everything from the presidential palace known as Casa Rosada to the brightly coloured buildings of La Boca and the affluent Palermo neighbourhood, before transferring to your ship.

IGUAZÚ FALLS AND JUNGLE LIFE from BUENOS AIRES

DISCOVER THE MAJESTY OF IGUAZÚ FALLS AND THE CUSTOMS OF THE GUARANI COMMUNITY – 5 DAYS/ 4 NIGHTS

Your day by day itinerary

Day 1 After flying into the Ezeiza International Airport in Buenos Aires, you will be met and transferred to your hotel for the night.

Day 2 A flight from Buenos Aires takes you to Iguazú, from where arranged transfers take you the Argentinian side of Iguazú National Park. Boarding an eco-train with open carriages, you can soak up the atmosphere and sounds of the rainforest as you edge closer to the falls, pausing for any wildlife crossing the line. Stepping off the train, you will walk to the viewing platform for Garganta del Diablo (Devil’s Throat), where one of Iguazú River’s widest points roars over a high cliff, crashing into the eternally misty pool below. After lunch in the national park, you will explore the various catwalks of the upper and lower circuits to enjoy and capture different views of the mighty falls. Crossing the border into Brazil, you will transfer to your hotel for dinner and a leisurely evening.

Day 3 In the morning you will return to Iguazú Falls to view Devil’s Throat from the Brazilian side.

Lunch follows at the spectacularly located Belmond Hotel Das Cataratas – the only property to lie within the bounds of the Brazilian national park. A Zodiac adventure ride via motorised boat brings the enlivening opportunity to gaze up at the thundering mass of water of Devil’s Throat while your guide tells you about the falls, the wildlife and the surrounding rainforest environment. After dinner and an overnight stay at the Belmond Hotel Das Cataratas, or similar, you will re-enter Argentina.

Day 4 Across the border, you will have the privilege of meeting a community of indigenous Guarani people. During this thought-provoking experience, a member of the Guarani community will tell you about the Guarani’s beliefs, legends and way of life. From hearing about how the forest’s plants are used medicinally to learning about initiation and baptism rituals at a temple deep within the jungle, this is a rare opportunity to enhance your understanding of this profoundly spiritual and traditional culture. After your return flight to Buenos Aires, you will settle in at your hotel and, later, enjoy dinner and a tango show at La Ventana Tango Club or a similar venue.

Day 5 Finally, the next day, the vibrant neighbourhoods and attractions of Buenos Aires are revealed through a driving tour of the sights before transferring to your ship.
