3.Visit to Argentinian and Brazilian Side in two days

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 67 reviews · 2 days (approx.) · from $190

Spend one day on Argentina’s trails and at Devil’s Throat, then cross into Brazil for wide views of the falls. A small group, hotel pickup, and local guides such as Macarena, Jala, Paharo, and Federico keep the visit organized. Bring your passport and budget separately for both park entrances and any boat ride.

“Paharo (Brazil) was an amazing guide. Appreciated his vast knowledge of the falls but most importantly his positive energy. He showed true character when he stopped the group to help an elderly lady down the steps. He was always a willing photographer when offering to take pics. The beauty and power of the falls is one not to be missed. Fredrico (Argentina) was an amazing guide taking his time to walk the trails and let us take pictures and be in awe of the falls. The Argentina side is a longer walking tour but it’s slow and easy. Saw Toucans and a monkey which was pretty cool. The boat ride…”

The package includes a hotel, breakfast, park fees, guides, and local transfers, with optional flights from Buenos Aires. Guides such as Miguel, Ariel, Carlos, and Pajaro have earned high praise for clear help and strong organization.

“Seeing Iguazu Falls was the main reason I traveled to Argentina. Sol Iguazu and our tour guide made it all worth it. Our guide for the tour and all the other Sol Iguazu staff were polite, helpful and responsive. Our guide went above and beyond to make sure we saw everything and were comfortable and prepared everything. He was also knowledgeable and answered questions in detail and good English. I would definitely recommend Sol Iguazu to other travelers. Viator, on the other hand, I will never use again and will not recommend them. Their web site is NOT user friendly and impossible to navigate. The people you talk to on…”

You’ll see mountain villages, colonial churches, Inca-era ruins, salt pools, and the Cuesta de Lipan. Pickup is limited to downtown hotels.

“The first day was great because of the places we visited, the guide and the organization, but the second day did not meet our expectations. We were left to explore the Pucará archaeological site alone without explanations inside and we did not have time to visit Tilcara. In Huamahuaca we could not visit the church and we stopped for a moment just to photograph the painter's palette. I would only do the first day. The second is not worth it. And thank goodness we stayed overnight in Purmamarca on our own, because going back 3 hours to Salta to sleep to undo the 157 kms the next day makes no…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 4 reviews · from $66

Travel from Salta through tobacco country and the Lerma Valley to Cafayate, stopping at La Quebrada de las Conchas and one or two wineries. Stay overnight in Cafayate, then return to Salta the next afternoon. Spanish guiding is advertised, though English-speaking guides may sometimes be assigned.

“Whilst our time in Cafayate was pretty memorable, the services provided by the company were quite disappointing. We were initially picked up 20 minutes late after specifically being asked to be on time, leaving us waiting at a the tour company’s office; the tour guide offered no apology for this. Additionally tour guides seem to be freelancers and not work for the company, therefore quality completely depends, whilst our guides spoke great English, neither seemed terribly interested in the content they were explaining. The 3-4 hour drive to/from Cafayate is unfortunately quite uncomfortable as the minibuses the company use seem to have the cheapest seats that they could fit, with…”
