Extend Your Trip

Iguazu Falls Extension

To the far northeast of Argentina, boarding Brazil, lies the magnificent Iguazu Falls (or Iguassu). Add four days to your trip to experience this awe-inspiring sight. Staying on the Argentinian side, you can wander around this Unesco World Heritage National Park packed with flora and fauna. In the heart of the park, you will find the not-to-be-missed cascading waters. You can also get up close to the falls by taking a boat trip as an optional extra.

Salta Extension

Travel to the northwest Argentinean provinces of Salta and Jujuy and encounter a Dali-esque land where nature bends the rules in breath-taking fashion. This extension is the perfect way to end your trip to Argentina, exploring a profoundly different destination. We drive along picturesque roads, through salt flats and colourful rock gorges. Salta is known as the most beautiful city in Argentina. You will not be disappointed.
