    Dear Keith, hi, thanks so much for your feedback. The private driver was indeed aware of the delay of the flight from NZ and has been waiting for you almost 2 hours after flight´s landing with a sign with your name on it. We called you and email you but, of course, understandable, you were not to be reached. When there was no one else in the airport we had to tell the driver to go back to town. We were worried for you and we only found out about you being ok when we contacted the hostel. Such a pity we could not connect, we were all concerned! In reference to the bus from Iguazu to Rio, it normally runs very smooth. We are so sorry to hear that this happened, it is very unusual. We hope you have enjoyed your trip despite the couple of hiccups! Very best! HI Travel Team

      TravelerWritten December 2025

      I want to book this trip in a couple days, but still have a few concerns about accommodations. I notice the restrictions on hostel stays and at my age, I don't want to experience those things. Can you say where the pickup spots are going to be in Buenos Aires, Puerto Iguana and Rio de Janeiro?

    • Hi Travel ArgentinaOperatorWritten December 2025

      Before booking, let us know which kind of accommodation you feel most comfortable with. If you do not want hostels, we can work with 3* hotels. Regarding the pickups: in Buenos Aires you will be picked up at the Airport. In Puerto Iguazú, when you arrive you will be picked up at the bus station. When you leave, a transfer will take you from your accommodation to the bus station. When you arrive to Rio, transfer to the accommodation is not included. When you leave, you have a transfer included from your hotel to Rio Airport.

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Hi Travel ArgentinaOperatorWritten August 2025

      I can build a tailormade itineraray without the overnight buses for you, and you could book the flights separately from this tour. Is that okay with you? I would like to know: which kind of accommodation you would prefer (dorm, hostel or hotel), how many people are travelling (are there any children?), would you like us to include transfers to and from the airports?

    Asked on July 31st, 2025

    Will there be any hotel changes in Iguazu? If I enter Argentina via Buenos Aires then travel to Iguazu, visit Argentina side, back to Argentina hotel. The next morning, check out hotel, visit Brazil side (means exit Argentina enter Brazil) then check in to the Brazil hotel, is this possible?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Hi Travel ArgentinaOperatorWritten July 2025

      Yes, it's absolutely possible. On one day you would visit the Argentine side of the falls and return to your accommodation in Argentina. The next day, you would visit the Brazilian side and then check in at the accommodation in Brazil. There might be a small price difference for this change, but nothing significant.
