You will be picked up from your hotel to join a Group City Tour with an English speaking guide. On this 3 -4 hour tour you will visit the most popular areas of Buenos Aires. The first stop is the famous Plaza de Mayo to visit the Cathedral and Old City Hall, next you can walk the cobblestone streets of San Telmo, before heading to the colourful neighbourhood of La Boca. The tour continues to the renovated Puerto Madero, then Palermo, and finally La Recoleta and its famous cemetery. If you plan to go to a Tango show with dinner while you are in Buenos Aires, we can pre-book your tickets so please ask us for options and prices. Spend the night at our Standard hotel in Buenos Aires.
Day 3: Day at leisure in Buenos Aires
After breakfast at your hotel, you have the whole day free to explore the City independently. There are several day trips that you might want to add – our suggestions would be either a trip to an “Estancia” for a traditional Gaucho experience, or a more leisurely day trip on the Delta at Tigre. You can even take a day trip on the fast catamaran (1 hour) across the River Plate to the beautiful old town of Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay. Ask us for more information and prices. Spend the night at our Standard hotel in Buenos Aires.

Stroll around the upper and lower walkways for varied views of the falls, including the impressive “Garganta del Diablo” (Devil’s throat). If you like a thrill and are prepared to get wet, you can take a boat trip to get as close as possible to the base of the falls (you can book and pay for this locally). You will return to your hotel in the late afternoon. Spend the night at one of our standard hotels in Puerto Iguazu.
Day 6: Day at leisure in Puerto Iguazu
