El Calafate & Perito Moreno Glacier
Perito Moreno Glacier ArgentinaParque Nacional Los Glaciares
The majesty of nature at its best. Departure from El Calafate bordering the southern arm of the Lago Argentino to get to Los Glaciares National Park. Perito Moreno Glacier is about 30.000 years old. Its surface is 192 km2, the front wall is 5 km long and some of its peaks are 80 metres high. The deep blue base is almost as dark as the water that surrounds it. The deep silence is suddenly interrupted by the tremendous noise of huge pieces of ice that crack from the glacier and fall into the lake to float on the Canal de los Tempanos. You will get to see the Glacier up close as we navigate on this Canal.
Salta
Salta, ArgentinaThis surreal and beautiful northwest province of mountains and canyons also offers first-rate wineries, superb colonial architecture, and miles of open road.

Our day excursions include Calchaquies Valley, winetasting at Cafayate, the picturesque village of Humahuaca and the magnificent Cierro de los Siete Colores (Hill of the Seven Colors) thus named because of the many sandstone tones you can see on its surface.

Iguazu Falls (over 200 waterfalls!)
Iguazu Falls

The Hotel St. George is right in the little town of Puerto Iguazu & offers every comfort for the visitor.  The Aldea de la Selva is a great hotel if you want to be closer to Nature.  Both have a pool & beautiful premises.

Taller than Niagara Falls, and twice as wide with 275 cascades spread in a horseshoe shape over nearly two miles of the Iguaz� River, Iguaz� Falls are the result of a volcanic eruption which left yet another large crack in the earth. During the rainy season of November - March, the rate of flow of water going over the falls may reach 450,000 cubic feet (12,750 cubic m) per second.  These matter-of-fact details do nothing to describe the grandeur and beauty of the falls, the tropical location and the tremendous amount of water (an average of 553 cubic feet per second) thundering down 269 feet.  They are best seen from the Argentine side, where the visit takes you through 3 different levels with many wonderful views of the many individual waterfalls. A minimum 2-night stay is necessary.

Mendoza Wine Country
Wine

Discover the secrets of winemaking and what makes Argentine Malbec one of the most popular and sought-out wines of today. 


ORIGIN OF WINE TOUR

In the morning we will visit a Boutique or Museum Winery, and then the famous Familia Zuccardi Winery: Santa Julia wines, where we tour around the Winery, learning about the production process of their wines (this winery is a top wine exporter to England) and will start enjoying Mendoza wines at a wine-tasting session. After walking around the vineyards and listening to an interesting explanation, we will go to La Casa del Visitante, a refreshing place at the heart of a park where a restaurant and the wine cellars are located. We will be served a typical lunch consisting of "empanadas" (meat pies) and "asado" (grilled steak) and salads. Three different types of wine will complete the 5-wine tasting session.
