I had an amazing trip to Argentina. The guides were wonderful: Sandra, Carlos, Timothea, Marciano, Lucas - were all just fantastic. The hotels were in great locations with all of the rooms above par with great service.

Everything was what I expected it to be. I loved the tours of the Falls both from the Brazil and Argentina side. The bird park was fantastic. The Peninsula Valdes is just so special. Loved the whale watching boat tour and watching the whales from the beach. I came home with thousands of pictures.

I only spent one night here and did not have a lot of time to explore, but loved that it was on the water front nestled in the cute little town.

Loved the bird park. I was up close and personal with many of the birds, birds I most likely would never see in the wild,

The Falls are so unbelievable. Argentina has done a good job of making them accessible for up close viewing. My guide was attentive and informative. He made the experience one to remember.
