  Asked on September 12th, 2026

  Group size is maximum 6? Is that correct? I did Tourradar tour in Canada. Group was 51 members even though they advertised 30. So I wanted to be reassured that your group is no more than 6?

    HI Travel South AmericaOperator•Written September 2026

    Just to clarify, we only offer individual trips, so there is no fixed group traveling together.
    
    Depending on the excursions included in the itinerary, you may join a small shared group for some activities, but the trip itself is arranged individually and is not part of a larger group tour.

    I understand we travel by bus. How many people will be on board when we change the location. That's my main question. Also we are staying at Hostels. How many people share bedrooms. Are we also sharing bathrooms as well? Is there luggage limit?
  • 

    HI Travel South AmericaOperator•Written September 2026

    Just to clarify regarding the buses, these are regular long-distance buses shared with other passengers, so there will generally be around 40–50 people on board, depending on the bus and service.
    
    Regarding the hostels, the room arrangements depend on availability. Shared rooms can generally be for 4 or 6 people.The bathrooms are also shared when staying in a shared dormitory.
    
    As for the luggage allowance, you can bring one suitcase plus one small backpack.

    Every body on the bus gets seated? Tour price is included bus fare? We share room. Is there age limits or anyone can join the tour? Bus ride is generally safe? Any accident happened in the past? Is hostel even though shared good livable conditions?

    As I was reading thoroughly transfer from bus station to the hotel is not included. How much does it cost and where should I book. It's very rare tour company does not provide between bus station to hotel throughout the journey.
  • 

    HI Travel South AmericaOperator•Written September 2026

    Let me clarify everything for you.
    
    The bus fare is included in the tour price, and each passenger will have their own assigned seat. The bus is a regular service and generally a safe and comfortable way to travel. We have never had any issues with them.
    
    There is no specific age limit to join the tour, so passengers of different ages can take it.
    
    Regarding the hostel, it is a very nice accommodation and a popular option for this type of trip. The shared rooms help keep the cost of the tour lower, but if you prefer more privacy and comfort, private rooms are also available at the hostel with another cost.
    
    We usually don't include the transfers to and from the bus station, as the stations are centrally located and usually close to the accommodations. However, if you prefer, we can include the transfers in the tour and arrange everything for you. Just let me know and I'll check the cost.

    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 South AmericaOperator•Written 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.

    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?

  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?

    HI Travel South AmericaOperator•Written 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.
