What's this trip about?

    Argentina is a country of fascinating contrasts and unspoiled nature from north to south. On this 8-night adventure, explore the northern region's impressive waterfalls, striking desert landscapes, bustling cities and colonial villages. Begin in the elegant capital of Buenos Aires, called the "Paris of South America." Visit the city's most famous landmarks and neighborhoods on an included tour, then have the freedom to explore on your own. Taste some of the finest beef on the planet in a parrilla (Argentine steakhouse) and watch the romance unfold before your eyes in a tango. From Buenos Aires, fly to Puerto Iguazu and spend two days exploring the jaw-dropping Iguazu Falls - named a 7th Natural World Wonder! Step one foot in Brazil then return to Argentina the next day as you explore the 275 waterfalls that make up Iguazu National Park. Leave Iguazu and fly to Salta in the northwest. Founded in 1582, the city is known for its Spanish colonial architecture and Andean heritage. Enjoy a city tour in Salta, then head to Purmamarca that's home to the beautiful Cerro de los Siete Colores (Hill of Seven Colors).  Wander across the massive Salt Flats (Salinas Grandes) and the villages near Quebrada de Humahuaca before heading back to Buenos Aires.
