Our family-focused Private Journey begins in Argentina's stylish capital, where you'll walk (or bike, if you prefer) in the city's most famous neighborhoods, from bohemian San Telmo, with its cobbled streets, to the colorful port of La Boca, where tango is ever present. A choice of activities is offered each day. After a relaxing overnight at a classic turn-of-the-century ranch out in the pampas, fly to Iguazú Falls, a World Heritage Site surrounded by an incredible forest full of tropical wildlife, from toucans to parrots and monkeys. You'll visit both the Argentine and Brazilian side of the falls, exploring walkways that weave in and around the cascades for up-close perspectives. Fun optional add-ons include attending a professional soccer game in one of the most famous stadiums in the world, enjoying an asado dinner, the Macuco Safari Experience at Iguazú Falls, and a cooking class and dinner.

Discover the secrets of Buenos Aires, South America's most seductive capital, stay at a classic estancia (ranch) on the pampas, then witness the majesty of Iguazú Falls, one of the most breathtaking sights in the natural world. Our family-focused Private Journey begins in Argentina's stylish capital, where you'll walk (or bike, if you prefer) in the city's most famous neighborhoods, from bohemian San Telmo, with its cobbled streets, to the colorful port of La Boca, where tango is ever present. A choice of activities is offered each day. After a relaxing overnight at a classic turn-of-the-century ranch out in the pampas, fly to Iguazú Falls, a World Heritage Site surrounded by an incredible forest full of tropical wildlife, from toucans to parrots and monkeys. You'll visit both the Argentine and Brazilian side of the falls, exploring walkways that weave in and around the cascades for up-close perspectives. Fun optional add-ons include attending a professional soccer game in one of the most famous stadiums in the world, enjoying an asado dinner, the Macuco Safari Experience at Iguazú Falls, and a cooking class and dinner. At journey's end, join our family-tailored extensions to Patagonia for hikes in Los Glaciares National Park or to Bariloche to explore the luxuriant forests and glacial lagoons of the Lake District.

With more than 200 different adventures to choose from, we want to help you find the trip that’s right for you. Our Trip Level system ranks each trip in two ways: a number rating from 1 to 6 according to the activity, and general travel rigors. 1 is the easiest and 6+ the most difficult—see descriptions below for explanations of each number. A plus (+) sign means the trip is a bit more strenuous than other trips of that level. The detailed explanation of each trip—below the bar with the number rating—is perhaps more important, specifying activities, altitudes, hiking, and travel conditions. The Detailed Itinerary, available by download or mail, gives further information. Our Area Managers can also answer questions and guide you to the trip that best suits your interests.
Level 1 – Easiest
Non-camping journeys, optional walks, little elevation gain or loss.
Level 2 – Easy to Moderate
Hotel nights and/or safari-style camping, hikes of two to four hours on some days. Other physical activities are sometimes included, such as optional sea kayaking.
Level 3 – Moderate
Half- to full-day hikes (3-6 hours) over rolling countryside on most days, occasional steep trails. Many of our hotel-based walking tours are in this category, as are our snorkeling adventures.
Level 4 – Moderate to Strenuous
Full-day hikes (4-6 hours), mountainous terrain, significant elevation gains and losses (hiking up or down as much as 3,000 feet) on many days. Altitudes no greater than about 10,000 feet.
Level 5 – Strenuous
Full-day hikes (4-8 hours), mountainous, steep terrain (hiking up or down as much as 3,500 feet) on many days. Trips with hiking at average altitudes of 10,000 to 12,000 feet are in this category.
Level 6 – Very Strenuous
Full-day hikes (5-8 hours), mountainous, steep terrain (hiking up or down as much as 3,500 feet) on many days. Most hikes take place at altitudes above 10,000 feet, with some days ascending as high as 18,000 feet.
