Kudos to Juan for his expert experience in planning a very memorable trip and for his prompt response to all inquires. We loved the tours in Patagonia including the glaciers, hiking and rafting and the Iguazu Waterfalls (and in particular to fast boat into the falls) is not to be missed. Great trip.

The scenery is amazing and not to be missed. And the boat ride was one of the top highlights of our trip. The guide, however, though very pleasant, added essentially no value. Likely could have done this trip on our own.

The scenery is amazing and perhaps even more spectacular than the Argentinian side but feels a bit redundant after the Argentinian side particularly given the time and effort to get to Brazil (along with getting an expensive visa).
