Is there a guide during the whole trip? I am concerned due to the crime rates in Rio.

No, there is not a guide during the trip. It is a tour for independent travelers. The trip goes to very touristic destinations and we have customers every month doing the route, we never have had a report of anything wrong!

What kind of hotels you provide?

Hi my question is this tour stay in hotels?

I am solo travelling which is why I plan to get a tour group! I am planning to come may 10 so we can go PUERTO IGUAZU together! If me coming late is fine!

Our tours are for independent travelers, are not group tours. During the day trips in the different destinations you will meet other customers. But in your accommodation and during the buses from place to place you will be on your own. We have departures every day.

What is the best time weather to take this tour?

March or april are good months to travel as it's not longer rainy season and you have good weather.

Any more hidden cost, How much to anticipate for optional tour, Breakdown of the bus journey and time, I am planning to sign up Full patagonia with Hi Travel Argentina and any further discount

Entrance fee to Iguazu National Park Argentine side (approx 20 USD per person), Entrance fee to Iguazu National Park Brazilian side (approx 20 USD per person), Taxis to from the bus stations are not included. Optional Tours per person: Buenos Aires Bike tour 47 USD, Buenos Aires Tango Show 75 USD, Rio de Janeiro Tour 66 USD, Paraty Beaches boat trip 30 USD

Can you pick up at a different airport? Also, can we use airport transfer after the tour? Is it important to book together to ensure same room/tour?

Yes, airport pickup at different airport has an extra cost. Included transfer is from Ilha Grande to Rio airport or city. For a double room, you can book separately but need to reference each other's booking. Extra transfers can be added for additional cost.

We would fly from Australia respectively Germany and wonder what happens if you cancel the tour. If you would cancel the tour after we booked the flights, would you reimburse the cost? Or would we be forced to take the tour at another time outside the window of our prebooked flights?

Our tours are independent, we don't need a minimum of passengers for the departure. We'll only cancel the tour if the passengers ask for it :)

We had a fantastic trip, even being on a bus for 31 hours added to the experience. The tours were well organised, fun to be on and good value for money, especially the white water rafting in Argentina. The hostels were basic but comfortable and had there own trips and experiences you could join which we did. The only criticism is that I wouldn't have done the Argentinian side of Iguazu Falls, the Brazilian side was a far better experience and enough to see the falls and another day on the other side wasn't needed, replace it with another trip would be my advice. All in all it was a fantastic trip and great value for money. We added a 3 night stay in Manaus in the Amazon on Anaconda island before the trip started, it was a great experience too.Show more

Rio, Illa grande and Iguazu were amazing and all travel arrangements were efficiently sorted out . I was disappointed in São Paulo as I had to make my own arrangements to the hotel and back to the bus station . It is a huge city and I felt intimated and did not do any tours. This is a concrete jungle and only known for good food . I just walked around the hotel to food and craft markets. Overall good value for my tour and great country to visit .Show more

  Our tours are independent trips, that means that the customer will receive bookings (and pre paid vouchers) for transfers, accommodation, public buses tickets and day trips. We send an online itinerary where customers can follow the day by day trip. With times. No tour leader will accompany the customers. Transportation between destinations is provided in very good public buses owned by private companies. The only park fees that will need to be paid by the customer are the Iguazu National Park, on both sides. Something like 26 USD in Brazil and 34 USD in Argentina.

- Hi Travel ArgentinaOperator•Written June 2025
  This itinerary is made with hostels and buses. But it can be re quoted if you'd like to stay in hotels. This means it will probably have a different price. Let me know if you would like to hear it.
