Journeying north, take a boat ride under the incredible Iguazu waterfalls, and stay within the National Park surrounded by some spectacular wildlife.

Next up, be amazed by the red terracotta landscapes and salt flat landscapes that can be found in Salta and enjoy the incredible scenery of the Atacama, the driest desert in the world. You’ll get to explore Humahuaca Gorge, which is known for its colourful mountains, geological formations and historical villages.

Private tour to Iguassu Falls' Argentinean side Private tour to Iguassu Falls' Argentinean side

A stunning tour of Iguassu, where you get a chance to really get up close to the falls. Your guide will pick you up from your hotel and bring you by private vehicle to the entrance of the park on the Argentinian side. You'll then be taking the rest of the tour mainly on foot, exploring the various wooden walkways that lead through the national park to the many chutes of the falls.

One of the most spectacular sights of the falls is the 'Devil's Throat', which sees the largest flow of water. In order to visit the Devil’s Throat, you'll need to board the train at the Main Station or at the Cataratas Station, close to the Upper Circuit. For those who love trekking, there's the 1km (0.6 mile) long Sendero Verde (Green Trail) that connects the Visitors Centre to the Cataratas Station and to the Upper Circuit. Once you're at the Devil’s Throat Station, you'll have to walk on a flat walkway built over the Upper Iguassu River. This walkway crosses several islands and once you get to the end of the walkway, you'll be surprised by a strategic lookout point resting on the side of the gorgeous Devil’s Throat.
