Our fantastic mother-son trip to Argentina
Argentina
|
May 17 - May 22, 2026
My son and I planned a trip to Iguzu Falls and Buenos Aires before his planned study abroad. His Spanish is rusty and mine is non-existent, so I booked our trip through KimKim in the hopes we’d have an easier time of things working with an English-speaking team. I was consistently and pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to work with Mery from afar. I was also always impressed with the tours and activities we participated in. We did a group tour to both the Argentina and Brazil sides of Iguazu Falls, with Daniela, our tour guide. She went above and beyond to make sure we safely got across the border, coming and going, which made us feel much more confident navigating the language barrier. Daniela also helped my son practice his Spanish, which helped him feel more prepared to start school here at the end of our visit. When in Buenos Aires, we did a half-day walking tour with Natalia, who taught us both so much about the history, culture, and language of Argentina. She gave us recommendations for movies to watch, futbol teams to cheer for, and other resources to learn more about my son’s host country. All our experiences felt cultivated just for us, and that personalization greatly enhanced our experience in Argentina. I wholeheartedly recommend!

When in Buenos Aires, we did a half-day walking tour with Natalia, who taught us both so much about the history, culture, and language of Argentina. She gave us recommendations for movies to watch, futbol teams to cheer for, and other resources to learn more about my son’s host country. She showed my son, who would be going to school in Buenos Aires after my departure, how to use public transport and get his Sube card. We saw monuments to history and the religions that influenced the beautiful city and country, learned about Tango and Mafalda and Maradona, and countless other things that make Argentina and Buenos Aires unique. I loved every second we spent with her! I wholeheartedly recommend!
