We thoroughly enjoyed all the guides and all the towns and cities we visited. We saw some of the most beautiful landscapes we have ever seen and felt that everyday was an adventure. We are home now and already miss South America. Thank you again for a truly memorable experience.

All in all, we were really delighted with the service that we received from you. Thanks!
Our favourite part of the trip was the week we spent in the North West driving ourselves. We would definitely like to do that again and spend more time in some of the villages and towns.

We liked all the hotels we stayed in. Each one was just right for its location and suited us perfectly. If we had to pick, probably our two favourites were Hacienda de Molinos in Molinos and Finca Adalgisa in Chacras de Coria.
Hacienda de Molinos had great charm and the food was excellent. We loved our room and would have liked to have spent a couple of days there. The Vinas de Cafayate had great views and the room was nice. The food in their restaurant was also quite good.. The Design Suites Hotel in Salta was great.our room on our first couple of nights was nicer than the room we had when we returned.the first room had a better view. The breakfasts were a little boring.
La Comarca in Purmamarca was really nice. It had great views of the mountains and was spacious.
One thing we did notice..Argentina is a wine country and yet only one or two of the hotels had wine glasses in the rooms.we had to ask!!
The agents on the ground were mostly very good.

The team really put together a great itinerary that takes you to meet the natural beauty of Argentina. Our adventure through the Humahuaca Gorge was an absolute highlight. The stunning landscapes and vibrant colors of the mountains left me in awe. The serenity of the Andes, the crystal-clear mountain lakes, and the rugged terrain all combined to create a truly remarkable experience.
The Tango show and dinner experience was truly the cherry on top of our time in Buenos Aires. It was an emotional journey into the heart and soul of Argentina, a performance that left us spellbound and filled with appreciation for the country's culture.
I can't thank enough the team for the memories I've made.

I would definitely recommend taking the Jungle boat ride. If you don't like getting wet, then forget about it, because you will get trenched! They give each person a bag to keep your personal items dry, such as your cell phone & other valuables. In this regard, the bag is even big enough for some clothing, so you could wear a bathing suit & place the rest of your clothing inside the bag or bring a change of clothes. You could always wear a very lightweight rain coat, but you'll probably still get wet, just not as trenched. Personally, I found getting soaked was quite refreshing & even enhanced the experience. When i arrives to Iguazu the tour was fully booked, but thanks to Say Hueque they found a place for me before I left Iguazu. They have a great service, I highly recommend traveling with them.

This was a fantastic trip that lived up fully to its billing, as we saw many spectacular and varied landscapes and we sampled many gorgeous wines. The guide Lucia was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout. My only observation is that it was a hard trip in terms of several very long days travelling of 8 or more hours - over 12 hours on one day - which meant we rarely had the chance to relax and/or enjoy the hotel facilities (e.g. pools in most hotels).
The Trip Notes highlighted this but even so, after more than a dozen Explore trips previously which we thought prepared us for a lot of time on the road , we were still surprised. Essentially the trip was 12 full days and we thought it could have been stretched to 14 to cover the same itinerary - maybe an extra day in Cafayate and in Cachi?
Why for example, did we travel from Mendoza to Aconcagua (a brilliant trip) but then back to Mendoza (3 hours each way) on one day, only to retrace our steps almost all the way back to Aconcagua on the next day, on the way to the next stop? This retracing of the same route wasted 6 hours, or almost a full day? Why did we not go from Aconcagua directly to the next stop, instead of back to Mendoza?
In summary, this is a great tour, but we recommend you review the itinerary and through better planning and some extra time make it a more relaxing tour spread over over one or two more days.

As my wife mentioned, we made this tour to Argentina and absolutely loved it. The tour is great because it combines three destinations that we were willing to visit this time in Argentina which were Buenos Aires city, Iguazu Falls and the northern region of the country, which are all very different from each other. Great experience!

My husband and a friend travelled for around 25 days visiting some of the most beautiful destinations in Argentina and Chile. Our favourite part was Mendoza and Bariloche for its exceptional landscapes and gastronomy. It is a trip that will remain in our memory forever.

Absolutely amazing trip. Stunning scenery on every day. The highlight was definitely watching the sunset and then star gazing at the salt flats in Bolivia, but so many others too - geysers, brilliantly coloured mountains & lagoons, flamingos, vicuna / llama / alpaca, volcanos, wine tasting - all truly memorable experiences. We extended for a couple of extra nights in Buenos Aires and one in Santiago, which were well worth doing, esp in BA. We've always had great Explore tour leaders, but Carolina could be the best - knowledgeable, enthusiastic and a great sense of humour - she really enhanced the trip and became a good friend of us all. A special mention to all the local guides too, Jazmin, Wilbur & Romina who were excellent and our team of drivers too.
