Our Gold category trips include the best tours in each destination (usually done on private basis or in small groups), guaranteeing an exclusive first‑class and in-depth travel experience.
Additionally, airport transfers are provided on a private basis in all destinations, except in Peninsula Valdes.
Our Silver category trips have different and fewer tours than our Gold category trips, sometimes with different durations of stay in some destinations.
This is a great trip option, also including first‑class tours, but is a less exclusive and comprehensive experience than our Gold category trips.

"After two amazing weeks in Argentina we both can honestly say that this was one of the most incredible trips we've ever taken."
"Everything ran smoothly and freed us up to really enjoy the beautiful experiences instead of having to worry about the little details."
"We had such an amazing trip through Argentina, and none of it would have been possible without Fred & Exploration Journeys!"
TRIP REVIEW OF HEATHER REID AND AARON LIEBO
"We had such an amazing trip through Argentina, and none of it would have been possible without Fred & Exploration Journeys!Though we've traveled many places around the world, this was our first trip to S. America. We had a number of recommendations from friends, so knew that we wanted to go to BA, Iguazu, El Calafate & Mendoza (a lot to squeeze in!), but didn't know how to start 'putting it all together'.
Fred was AMAZING--he took our wish list and made it come to life. His continuous availability while we were planning (I wonder if he sleeps?) was helpful to answer all our questions and help us decide on our trip itinerary. For us it was important to still have flexible time in each city, so this was the perfect combo--Fred handled all the logistics (airport transfers, accommodations, registering for the tours we wanted to do, etc.) and then provided recommendations on how to spend our time in each place.
After two amazing weeks in Argentina, we both can honestly say that, because of all his detailed planning, this was one of the most incredible trips we've ever taken. Everything ran smoothly and freed us up to really enjoy the beautiful experiences instead of having to worry about the little details (for example, it was such a relief to step off the plane in a new city & not have to worry about how we'd get to the hotel).
The only problem we had was figuring out how to condense the thousands (literally) of pictures we took...still working on that one! :) Muchas Gracias to Fred for making this such an amazing adventure!"

DAY 5: IGUAZU |
Witness the Unique Power & Might of the Iguazu Falls from the Argentine Side (private tour) “You might have seen the photos. Even read about it. You might have visited other great waterfalls before. But you probably still have no idea what to expect when you come face to face with the almighty Iguazu Falls,” stated CNN in their article “Iguazu Falls: Why this natural wonder should be on everyone’s bucket list". To put that into perspective, Iguazu Falls is nearly twice as tall as Niagara Falls and nearly three times as wide. The late U.S. First Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt, was reportedly so impressed by the sight of Iguazu Falls that she exclaimed “Poor Niagara!” In 1984, Iguazu Falls became a UNESCO World Heritage Site; and in 2011, it was selected as one of the 7 winners of the “New Seven Wonders of Nature” worldwide competition in which more than 100 million votes were cast. Their size and scale are unlike any other waterfall on Earth. Made up of a system of 275 waterfalls, they have a staggering water flow of up to almost 3.5 million gallons (13 million liters) per second – enough to fill five Olympic swimming pools! Unlike Niagara Falls, which is surrounded by developments such as casinos, a revolving restaurant, and coffee shops, Iguazu Falls are located within one of the few remaining inland rainforests in South America, the Atlantic rainforest, which is a haven for more than 2,000 plant species, about 400 birds species, and 80 types of mammals! This is a full-day private tour. |
