Buenos Dias...We've Arrived!!

This morning our adventure officially began when the 3 of us (Don, myself and Brian, our oldest son) landed at EZE in Buenos Aires. Unfortunately,our flight landed over an hour late, and consequently we missed our flight out of AEP to Iguazu Falls...a real bummer!! However seeing our son, Danny, waiting for us at the airport for the first time …

Our Iguazu adventure began with rappelling

Iguazu Adventure Begins

We were met at the Puerto Iguazu airport by Celia, our wonderful guide for the duration of our visit there. We drove to the Iguazu Jungle Lodge and unpacked in our lovely family suite, including a scenic balcony overlooking the jungle. That afternoon was a trip highlight: rappelling down a rock wall, zip lining through the treetops and hiking …

The Incredible Iguazu Falls

Today we visited the Falls with Celia as our guide. It was a beautiful sunny day, and our first stop was Devil's Throat by way of a Disney-like train ride, then a rather long walk across a 5' wide zig-zagging catwalk. Luckily, the smart people at Adventure Life had suggested we bring ponchos with us to the Falls, because once you get up close to …

Wanda Mines

Today we packed up for our late afternoon flight back to BA, but had one more side trip planned: to visit the Wanda Mines, where Amethyst and Quartz are mined. We had a terrific local guide who took us into the mines and explained how the miners chisel out the geodes by hand...very impressive. We saw some beautiful stones, then of course bought …

Then on to Ziplining...practice makes perfect!

Sightseeing and Tango in Buenos Aires!

After a fantastic continental breakfast buffet at The Savoy (the croissants were to die for!!), we met our guide, Jose, and he took us by car on a city tour of all the neighborhood highlights, including Recoleta, Palermo, la Boca and San Telmo, Plaza de Mayo and of course the Steel Flower...what a beautiful and diverse city!! Danny was in class …

A Little Utopian Paradise called Colonia, Uruguay

Danny had classes all day, so Don and I took the 1 hour Ferry over to Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay, where we met our guide, Fabian. He grew up in Colonia and gave us the luxury tour of this quaint and historic little gem of a town. We learned the history (both Spanish and Portuguese settled), had a wonderful lunch of local bread, cheeses and …

Walking Tour by Day...Tango Lesson by Night

We relaxed this morning and met up with Danny at the hotel. We planned to meet Jose at Theatro Colon, where we hoped to take a tour of this beautiful Opera House, but when we arrived at 1pm, we were the only people there and we were told they need 5 people to run a tour...bummer! Instead, Jose took us to a synagogue nearby, that happens to be the …

Kayaking in the Tigre Delta

Early this morning we were driven to Tigre, where we met one of the 3 owners of El Dorado Kayaking, for a fun day on the water. After a short motorboat ride to their cabin, we were told the history of the Delta and then given a kayaking lesson on land before we set off in our kayaks. For 3+ hours we paddled around the various narrow rivers in the …

Our Final Day

Our only plan today was to meet Danny's host family for lunch, so we spent the morning wandering around the Rose Garden in Palermo Park. Danny insisted that we try the A Line of the Subte, with it's ancient wooden cars. Fortunately, it was NOT crowded as Danny had described for us in great detail the trials and tribulations of riding the Subte …

Adventure Life did an excellent job of planning, organizing and executing a great trip to Argentina. It was nice to have the trip with just the two of us which allowed for a more personable tour with excellent tour guides in all four locations visited. We learned lots of details of the beautiful sites in BA, Mendoza,Baliloche and Iguazu Falls. We want to do another trip with Adventure Life some day.
