A six-day itinerary combining Buenos Aires with the Iguazú Falls.
In Buenos Aires, a half-day guided tour of the city's main sights — the Obelisco, the Plazas de Mayo, San Martín and Alvear, the avenues Corrientes, De Mayo and 9 de Julio, and the neighbourhoods of La Boca, San Telmo, Palermo, Recoleta and Puerto Madero — with free time. An internal flight then leads to Iguazú, where the Falls are visited from both sides: the Argentine side on a full day, with the Tren Ecológico and the walkways up to La Garganta del Diablo, and the Brazilian side on a half day, with the panoramic walkways over the 275 cascades. Transfers operate on a private basis in Buenos Aires and on a group basis in Iguazú, with National Park admissions included.
