Argentina: Heart & Soul
Tango, glacier hikes, and a boat ride below Iguazu Falls!

Buenos Aires, a city of romance, history and sophistication, opens its arms to us as we begin our Argentinean adventure. Late night tapas, tangos and a variety of architectural styles mark this city as a must-see world capital. Our rural explorations of Patagonia will be just as rich and unusual, as we hike on age-old glaciers on the Argentine side of the high Andes, then tour Tierra del Fuego at the tip of the South American continent and sail the waters of the Beagle Channel. We finish with an optional extension to the moist jungles around Iguazu Falls. This thrilling and rich tour offers a grand entry into the world of Argentina.

Highlights of this trip include:

• Magic nights in Buenos Aires await you!
  
• Hike on the Viedma Glacier, then explore the surrounding alpine forests.
  
• Enjoy dinner and wine tasting in a rustic lodge at El Calafate.
  
• Visit the Perito Moreno section of Los Glaciares National Park to see one of the last advancing glaciers in the world.
  
• Explore the mountains and channels at the tip of South America from Ushuaia.
  
• Sail the Beagle Channel on a catamaran to view unusual sea life and birds.
  
• Spend a day on an estancia (ranch) in the Pampas near Buenos Aires.
  
• Join us for an optional 2-night extension to visit the spectacular falls of Iguazu, including a guided hike at the top of the falls, and a boat ride below the cascade (March 2010 price: $990 in shared room; $1390 in single room).
