the falls in different circuits. The show is incredible. Bring enough space in your camera because you will take hundred of photos! The Sheraton Iguazu is the

SANTIAGO

What a wonderful tour. One of my favourites, because it`s a combination of two countries, two big cities, and wonderful sceneries in Patagonia. If you love cities, and also lakes and mountains, it`s your option!

Note, we can run this program in reverse, so you can start in Santiago or Buenos Aires. In Santiago, you will find a great city. There are some interesting markets. I suggest to visit Graneros del Alba. You will find good handycrafts there. If you have some free time, a wine tour would be great.

Chile makes excellent wines.

Once in Patagonia, you will enjoy lakes and mountains in Puerto Varas. The Lakes Crossing is a wonderful experience. You will cross the Andes Chain... by lake! Great. In Bariloche, I suggest to have lunch or dinner in a restaurant called La Familia Weiss. Excellent local meals! and buy some chocolates in Mamuschka. Final portion is the Argentina`s Capital City. Didn`t you visit Buenos Aires yet? Well, our city will surprise you! Walk Recoleta Area and enjoy the architecture. It`s not Europe, but you will find part of this continent in our city. Take a breath to lunch or dinner in Puerto Madero and walk the area. And of course, visit San Telmo Fair on sundays for some interesting handycrafts. And do not forget to visit a Tango Show! Esquina Carlos Gardel is my favourite.

Chile makes excellent wines. Let me suggest the hotel Torremayor.

Once in Patagonia, you will enjoy Torres del Paine National Park. This large area is an incredible place to enjoy trekking, and other adventure activities, or just relax and watch the wonderful landscapes. The Costaustralis Hotel is a great hotel.

Crossing the border, you will arrive to El Calafate, gate to the glaciers.

Perito Moreno Glacier is unique! if you`re healthy, take the minitrekking to walk over the ice of the glacier. Unforgettable experience! Taste the lamb in La Tablita Restaurant! Let me suggest the Hotel Unique Luxury Patagonia and La Estepa. In each category, they offer an excellent service.
