4.2-Day Iguazu Falls with Optional Airfare from Buenos Aires

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 65 reviews · 2 days (approx.) · from $390

See Iguazu Falls from Brazil and Argentina in two active days, with airport transfers, park fees, a professional guide, breakfast, and one hotel night. Add round-trip economy flights from Buenos Aires, the Great Adventure boat ride, or a bird sanctuary visit. Guides may include Miguel, Ariel, Carlos, or Pajaro.

“The experience at the falls was awesome. Certainly a once in a lifetime experience and a must-do if ever the opportunity arises. The logistics of the tour ran smoothly but there is a bit of down time. Our tour guide was Ariel who did a great job. The accommodation we were assigned changed at short notice, and it was dated and in need of some TLC. Apart from that, transfers ran smoothly. We would recommend doing the boat trip. A real experience but bring a change of clothes as you will get drenched. Be aware that the airline used by our tour operator (Jetsmart), randomly allocates seats and then charges…”

6.Humahuaca & Salinas Grandes 2-Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 8 reviews · from $78

Travel from Salta by air-conditioned Mercedes-Benz minivan with a bilingual guide, visiting Purmamarca, Humahuaca, Tilcara, Pucará, and the Salinas Grandes. Expect long road days, mountain views, craft stalls, historic churches, salt pools, and an itinerary order that may change.

“The first day was great because of the places we visited, the guide and the organization, but the second day did not meet our expectations. We were left to explore the Pucará archaeological site alone without explanations inside and we did not have time to visit Tilcara. In Huamahuaca we could not visit the church and we stopped for a moment just to photograph the painter's palette. I would only do the first day. The second is not worth it. And thank goodness we stayed overnight in Purmamarca on our own, because going back 3 hours to Salta to sleep to undo the 157 kms the next day makes no…”

“Day 1: Hornocal, beautiful but more stressful because the group is divided into 2 (2 different excursions in the same group) Day 2: Cafayate road, incredible We had Monica as a guide and she is great, passionate about what she tells, she is a very good guide who speaks English and Spanish We recommend”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 4 reviews · from $66

Taste Salta wine at one or two wineries, stay overnight in Cafayate at your own accommodation, then return to Salta the next afternoon.

“Whilst our time in Cafayate was pretty memorable, the services provided by the company were quite disappointing. We were initially picked up 20 minutes late after specifically being asked to be on time, leaving us waiting at a the tour company’s office; the tour guide offered no apology for this. Additionally tour guides seem to be freelancers and not work for the company, therefore quality completely depends, whilst our guides spoke great English, neither seemed terribly interested in the content they were explaining. The 3-4 hour drive to/from Cafayate is unfortunately quite uncomfortable as the minibuses the company use seem to have the cheapest seats that they could fit, with…”
