Get a taste of South America on a 10-day journey from Buenos Aires to Rio de Janeiro. Wander through artistic neighbourhoods and markets in Argentina's capital, then travel through the sprawling Ibera Wetlands in search of capybaras, caimans and otters. Continue to Foz do Iguazu to meet the Indigenous Guarani community and check out the magnificent Iguazu Falls from both sides – and maybe take a boat ride to get close to the spray.

The overall experience was outstanding. Patagonia is a wonderful destination, one of the last wildernesses in the world and a place to be treasured. We really enjoyed the hikes and would have been happy to do more. Tash the CEO and her colleagues were really friendly, helpful and passionate about Patagonia. Tash had excellent knowledgable about nature, flora, fauna and the areas we visited. The glaciers were breathtaking and the accommodation was excellent, especially Estancia Cristina, the remoteness was just what we needed, to be away from the frenetic ways of modern life for a while. The tour was well organised and communication was excellent. Would definitely recommend G Adventures for this type of holiday
