Eco-Travel & Cultural Exploration
The Wineries of Mendoza & Iguazu’s Falls
Argentina is home to one of the largest waterfalls in existence and the finest wines in the world. This relaxing itinerary combines both - an in-depth look at the geology and wildlife of Iguazu Falls, as well as a connoisseur trip to visit the world-famous wineries of Mendoza. By visiting both the Argentinan and Brazilian sides of the waterfalls, you will get the best of what both countries have to offer at this UNESCO World Heritage Site. From Argentina, the views are much closer, but the Brazilian side has the jaw-dropping panoramic postcard views of the falls. Continue on to Mendoza, a two-hour flight from Buenos Aires, and the heart of Malbec wine country. You´ll be graciously welcomed into beautiful vineyards for a stroll and then invited to a fabulous five-course lunch. On the next day, you can choose to go for a horse-back ride in the country or an exciting white-water rafting trip.
