Our tour leader Blanca was just amazing, her professionalism, knowledge and passion for her country was infectious and be the end of the tour left us wanting to see more of both Argentina, Brasil and South America as a whole. Local guides were knowledgeable too. This trip has a bit of everything - Cities, jungle, beach and wonderful nature - the Iguazu falls are just breathtaking and a must. The itinerary was as described, moderate and allowed for free time and flexibility which is much appreciated. This was my first time with Explore but will definitely go again.
