BUENOS AIRES - COLONIA - BUENOS AIRES (B)

This morning, you will be transferred from the hotel to Puerto Madero pier to take the ferry to Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay.

Discover the UNESCO-listed historic quarter of Colonia del Sacramento on this 5-hour sightseeing tour. Your guide and driver will be waiting for you at Colonia port. As you ride through the city, admire the beautiful blend of Spanish and Portuguese architecture, and take in the stunning landmarks like the Nacarello's House, the Viceroy's House, and the famous 'Street of Sights,' frequently used as a film location for historic movies.

Colonia not only showcases its architectural heritage but also boasts natural beauty, including the permanent presence of the Uruguay River and the iconic monuments that dominate the skyline, such as the Basilica of the Holy Sacrament and the lighthouse. The Real San Carlos bullring is also a fascinating site located nearby. Take a break for a meal at one of the restaurants of your choice (not included)

After an eventful day in Colonia, you will be brought back to the pier where you will board a ferry back to Buenos Aires. Upon arrival, you will be transferred back to your hotel.

BUENOS AIRES - PUERTO IGUAZU (B)

This morning you will be picked up from your hotel and transferred to the airport to take the flight to Puerto Iguazu (flight not included). Upon your arrival, you will be met and transferred to your hotel.

Rest of the day at leisure.

PUERTO IGUAZU (B)

Today, you'll head to the Argentine side of Iguazu National Park for a day tour. This side of the park covers an area of 550 km² and is home to about 80% of the falls. You'll enjoy a walk along the upper and lower trails, starting with the lower circuit (1400m), which has balconies offering stunning bottom-up views of the falls (the same ones you see from above in the upper circuit). The superior circuit is about 650 m long and has a low degree of difficulty, with six viewpoints offering panoramic views of the falls.

Between the two circuits, you'll find the station to board the ecological train that will take you to the final station, The Devil's Throat. At this point, a bridge (2200 m roundtrip) leads out over the Iguazu River and small islands, ending at the mighty Devil's Throat, which is 150 m (490 ft) wide and the tallest of all the falls, with a height of 82 m (270 ft). The bridge goes right out to the head of the falls, so be prepared for plenty of spray.

Note that the upper circuit has a low degree of difficulty and ramps, making it suitable for handicapped visitors. The lower circuit requires more physical effort due to its stairs. If you have any physical impairment, we recommend avoiding the last section of this circuit.

PUERTO IGUAZU - BUENOS AIRES (B)

Today, you'll enjoy a half-day tour to the Brazilian side of the Iguazu National Park. You'll wander along the 'Cataratas trail' (distance 1.5 km/1 mile) and enjoy panoramic views of the falls, one of the most beautiful natural landmarks in all of South America. At the end of the trail, a catwalk will provide breathtaking views of the tallest waterfall, the 'Devils' Throat'. The tour ends at the top of the falls, accessed through a panoramic elevator.

In the afternoon, you'll be transferred to the airport to take your flight back to Buenos Aires (flight not included). Upon arrival, you'll be transferred to your hotel.

BUENOS AIRES - ... (B)
