Argentina
Argentina Grand Tour – Biodiversity of Iberá and the Jungle from Buenos Aires to Iguazu
Description
Discover the wild, green heart of Northeast Argentina on this 11-day self-drive tour from Buenos Aires to the spectacular Iguazu Falls. Your route will take you through the endless wetlands of the Esteros del Iberá, past historic Jesuit ruins, and through subtropical rainforest.
What awaits you
On this Argentina tour, you'll experience a fascinating journey through contrasts: from vibrant Buenos Aires, you'll head out into the silent expanse of the Pampas, where estancias and cattle pastures shape the landscape. In the vast Esteros del Iberá, an endless mosaic of lagoons, reeds, and savanna awaits you. Silently, you'll glide by boat or kayak through the water, observing caimans, capybaras, and exotic birds up close. The historical ruins of San Ignacio Miní tell of the Jesuit era before your path leads you through mate plantations and subtropical rainforest to a jungle lodge. The crowning glory will be the thunderous Iguazú Falls, which you'll experience up close on walkways and viewing platforms.
