Wild Argentina

This unique journey explores not only Argentina's vibrant capital but also lesserknown but equally exciting parts of the country, encompassing Spanish colonial heritage, spectacular natural wonders and abundant wildlife.

The journey begins at the magnificent Iguazu Falls, an incredible expanse of some 275 waterfalls and cascades set in sub-tropical rainforest. Continue, via fascinating Jesuit missions, to the Ibera Wetlands, an extension of the Pantanal on the border with Paraguay and Brazil and home to wide variety of water birds, reptiles and mammals. After a stay in Buenos Aires, Argentina's vibrant capital city, fly south to the Valdes Peninsular and, from your base at Puerto Madryn, explore by self-drive car, visiting penguin and sea lion colonies and, at the right time of year, viewing whales by boat. This remarkable tour ends with a brief but fascinating stay at a traditional estancia on the pampas.
