I am interested in the Buenos Aires to Santiago de Chile (9 Days) but would like help with booking an internal flight on Day 5 from Buenos Aires to Mendoza, instead of the night bus. Are you able to help with this?

If you prefer to book a flight from Buenos Aires to Mendoza, you should know that the itinerary will have one less day without the night bus. The price I'm finding for the flight (already discounting the bus tickets you will be replacing) is around 1500 USD. You should keep in mind that flight prices change constantly, so it can vary until the moment it is issued. Regarding which airlines to book with, you could choose JetSmart, which is usually good for our domestic flights. And you should look for the departure Airport in Buenos Aires to be AEP (Aeroparque), which is mostly used for the domestic flights and it's nearer to the city. Would you like us to include transfers to/from the Airports as well if you decide to book the flight?

is it possible to include iguaza falls in the itinerary?

We were thinking of going to iguaza Falls by plane. Is the domestic flights reliable?

What kinds of guidance is provided as regarding sights to see? Is there a tour guide? Does the guide change in each city? I don't mind simple accomodations, but as a 62yo, don't want a hostel. Will accomodations be like a pension? Will there be a group that I travel with the whole time?

Our tours are independent. This means you'll be meeting people during day tour and at the accommodation but from city to city you'll taking regular buses. There is not going be a group where you can join and shared the same itinerary. You can always contact us through whatsapp. Once you start with the trip, we'll help you with any doubt and everything you need through the chat. Is there a tour guide? NO. Does the guide change in each city? YES, IN EACH TOUR. Will accomodations be like a pension? YES, YOU CAN CHOOSE 3* OR 4* SINGLE ROOM. Will there be a group that I travel with the whole time? NO.

Is it possible to take this tour as one person? Is it possible to join the tour on the 4th and miss the first two days of the tour in Buenos Aires? I am already here and am seeing the city with my friends who are from here so I can see the city with them but I want to take the bus from Buenos Aires and do the rest of the tour with the group to Santiago instead of take the plane to Santiago Is this possible?

Is it possible to take this tour as one person? YES, YOU CAN CHOOSE SINGLE ROOM OR HOSTEL DORM. Is it possible to join the tour on the 4th and miss the first two days of the tour in Buenos Aires? YES, THIS IS AN INDEPENDENT TOUR. Is this possible? YES, PLEASE HAVE IN MIND THIS IS NOT A GROUP TOUR. IT'S INDEPENDENT. THIS MEANS YOU'LL BE SHARING SERVICES BUT THERE WONT BE A GUIDE OR GROUP TO SHARE THE SAME ITINERARY.

Do you have the name of the hotels and hostels that you use to book for this tour?

Our first options are: Hostel Milhouse Avenue- Buenos Aires, Hostel Lagares- Mendoza, Hostel Providencia- Santiago. Hotel options include: Nh city Buenos Aires, Argentino Hotel- Mendoza, Hostal Rio Amazonas- Santiago.

is it possible to take the rafting and the bicicle activities from the tour? and what else can be done at that time?

We can change rafting to High Mountain tour. We can check if a city tour is possible instead of the bike tour in Santiago.

I am just wondering if this tour starting on December 23 has other people booked for it as I don't want to be the only one on the tour with the tour guide

This is an indepent tour, we dont a group where you can join and shared the same itinerary.

Can you confirm the following please: whether it is a guided tour, how big is the group, how big is the bus. If day 1 is the Thursday we don't actually start until day 2 the Friday as we do not need a pick up fro the airport as we will already be in B.A. I am travelling with my mum who is 89 so we wont be doing white water rafting in Mendoza (or horse back riding) and she wont do the bike riding in Santiago.

Our tours are independent, this means you'll be meeting people during day tour and at the accommodation but from city to city you'll taking regular buses. There is not going be a group where you can join and shared the same itinerary. The day tours are guided. We can find an alternative in Santiago for a city tour. In Mendoza we can change it for the High mountain tour that you'll be travelling by bus with the guide.

As we are going to travel in April and covid pandemic is near to end and we are fully covid vaccinated with 3rd booster dose . Do still mandoza to Santiago by bus crossing is problem in immigration?

Yes, even though you are fully vaccinated this route Mendoza and Santiago is not available for regular services due to strong bureaucratic procedures in the border with Chile. If by the date of your departure the problem is solved, you will be able to take the bus. But if the problems persist, you may need to take a flight from Mendoza to Santiago.

We really enjoyed the round trip. Before starting in Buenos Aires, we went to Uruguay and Montevideo on our own. We were able to gain great impressions of the cities of Buenos Aires, Mendoza and Santiago de Chile and also had excellent weather. The contact with the travel agency was first class. We received feedback extremely quickly via WhatsApp. To improve a little more, we have 2-3 comments: - At the hotel in Mendoza it would be good to be able to check in in the morning, especially after the long bus journey (16 hours) you look forward to a shower. We were only able to check in at 1:30 pm and were under a bit of pressure because of the half-day excursion to the wineries. Otherwise the hotel is/was absolutely TOP. - The hotel in Santiago de Chile is in a great location. However, for the 2 nights we were accommodated in a really very small room (more like a shoebox) with a really small bed (150 meters wide). This was quite a contrast to the hotel in Mendoza (where the room felt like a dance hall). Conclusion: A really great trip through South America. Chile in particular was definitely not the last time we visited ;-).Show more

  Is there a train going to iguaza Falls?
- Hi Travel ArgentinaOperator•Written May 2025
  There's no train going from Buenos Aires to Iguazu. So the best way to get to Iguazu Falls is taking an overnight bus. They have different categories, we can issue a "cama" service with meals on board included.
- Hi Travel ArgentinaOperator•Written May 2025
  Flights are reliable and there are many choices of timetables. So you can fly in and out, BUE-Iguazu-BUE or you can fly to Iguazu on your international flight.
