- 5-Day Trip to Ushuaia & El Calafate
How imposing the Glacier is. A wonder, having been able to meet him. I have very nice memories
This was an amazing tour. I was picked up and dropped off at the airport. The hotel that was booked (Mercure) was really good. It had a nice jungle setting. The pool and hot tub were pleasant as it had a bar. The food and stuff were just as nice. The first day of the tour was on the Brazilian side. Our guide, Carlos, was kool. We were lucky and he took care of the immigration stuff. After a short ride, we got to the falls. To say that I was in awe is an understatement. Although the Brazilian side tour was a little short; just a 2 hour-ish walking tour, I would have liked some more time to just stroll. The next day was the Argentine side of the falls. It was another 2 hour-ish stroll. The views were impressive. We were able to see some wildlife. After seeing the falls from multiple viewpoints, we had lunch. Watch out for the monkeys. After that it was the boat ride. It was the most insane experience. They took us up mad close to the falls. We got drenched, but they gave us a bag to put our cameras and other things you didn't want to get wet in. You can get a poncho, but it'll only help to a certain degree. Walk with a gopro or a waterproof case for your phone. We couldn't do the train ride or walk in the middle of the falls because a few weeks prior, there was a massive flooding event and it took out pieces of the walkway and track. All things considered, it was a great tour. I would definitely do it again.

What our customers ask about Argentina Small Group Tours
What regions in Argentina are best suited for small group travel?
Small group travel thrives in Argentina's diverse landscapes from the glaciers of Patagonia's Los Glaciares National Park to the sun-drenched vineyards of Mendoza and the colorful valleys of Salta and Jujuy provinces. Small groups can explore lesser-known trails like the Huemul Circuit near El Chalten or spend time at traditional estancias in the Buenos Aires countryside. Hotel Las Dunas in El Calafate provides convenient access to the Perito Moreno Glacier. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Our intimate group size was perfect for navigating the narrow trails of Quebrada de las Conchas and enjoying personal interactions with local communities while staying at the charming Casa Lila in Mendoza."
What type of accommodations can I expect on small group tours in Argentina?
Small group accommodations focus on boutique properties that highlight local character. These include the lakeside Hotel Mirador del Lago in El Calafate the colonial-style Hacienda de Molinos in Salta and exclusive lodges like Rincon del Socorro in the Iberá wetlands.

A boutique Patagonia experience at places like El Chalten Suites Lodge runs around USD 350 per day while larger group tours average USD 250. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The additional cost was worth every penny for the personalized attention and flexibility to adjust our itinerary around Mount Fitz Roy based on weather conditions."
