  • T

    Tina

    Asked on January 12th, 2026

    Is the tour exclusively to age 18 to 39? Does "shared room" mean that everyone is in a big room? We are older than 39, married and would want our own room with ensuite. If this tour is not suitable please suggest one that would suit.

    Accommodation
    Age Range
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten January 2026

      Yes this trip is exclusively for 18-39 year olds. You would need to have a look at our 'classic' trips which are open to all ages

  • S

    Suzanne

    Asked on November 19th, 2025

    I am 27 years old (female), though. I am physcially active and would be fully capable of completing the tour. Wondering if there's a strict age restriction or if it is flexible to make an exception.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten November 2025

      This tour is strictly for ages 18 to 39, therefore a 27 year old is free to join!

  • R

    Ron

    Asked on September 10th, 2025

    Does this trip's price include the air fare? If not, what else is not included. I am just one person interested in joining up with a tour group.

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten September 2025

      The price is for the land tour only, and it does not include airfare. Meals allow USD520-680 for meals not included. Transportation includes local bus, minivan, taxi, plane, ferry, walking. Accommodations include simple hotels, hostels, estancia/ranch.

    • R

      Ron

      TravelerWritten September 2025

      Does the trip include pickup at the airport and then delivery to the airport at the end? Currently my passport only has 5 months left on it, and Brazil and Uruguay require at least 6 months. Would I be able to sign up if I have less than 6 months currently? Would there be a problem, once I sign up and pay, if I need to give you my renewed passport information? Is a visa required for Brazil for Americans?

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten September 2025

      The tour does not include arrival or departure transfers. These can be added as an extra service at extra cost. Many countries require 6 months passport validity. You can sign up before providing passport information, but it is the traveler's responsibility to have updated travel documents. Visa requirements vary by nationality. Contact your local embassy for up-to-date visa requirements.

    Alex

    Asked on July 26th, 2025

    Luggage allowances: I plan to bring one checked bag (23 kg) and one carry-on (10 kg). As the itinerary includes domestic flights and various transport methods (shared bus, private vehicle, airplane), I'd like to confirm whether this amount of luggage is acceptable. Is it possible to purchase an upgraded baggage allowance if needed? Are there any risks of overweight charges or issues handling/changing transport?

      TravelerWritten July 2025

      Walking distances to accommodations: Could you please let me know if the drop-off points from local transport (e.g. bus terminals, airports) to the hotels or group accommodations are within easy walking distance? Will guests need to carry luggage over long distances or up stairs?

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten July 2025

      Our flights have different luggage allowances, and the lowest is 15kg checked and 8kg cabin baggage. If your clients go above this weight, they can pay the airline at the check-in desks. Yes, the accommodations are within walking distance of the drop off points.

    Emma

    Asked on March 25th, 2025

    What kind of accommodation can I expect?

    Accommodation
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten March 2025

      The tour includes a mix of hotels, hostels, and other types might include shared accommodation.

  • Y

    Yvonne

    Asked on February 11th, 2025

    Would this trip be available with removing days 4-7, going from Buenos Aires to the falls and then adding a day in Rio? I'd even be okay with adding an extra day to the falls if we can go rafting. That would make this a 13-14 day trip.

    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten February 2025

      Our tour itineraries are pre-set; therefore scheduling cannot be changed or traded. Perhaps our shorter 9-day Classic tour option Iguassu & Beyond would be more aligned with what you are looking for?

  • H

    Harm

    Asked on February 9th, 2025

    Is there a deposit required when booking the tour?

    Payments
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten February 2025

      Yes, a deposit is required to secure your booking, typically 20% of the total balance.

  • S

    Sara

    Asked on February 4th, 2025

    How can I use my travel credit?

    Payments
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten February 2025

      You can apply your travel credit toward the booking fees. For details on usage and limitations, please check your account or contact support.

  • H

    Hayley

    Asked on January 29th, 2025

    Looking for a tour similar to this one but travelling from Rio to Buenos Aires, preferably for young people. Is there any tour available for this route?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten January 2025

      This trip is only avalable for people aged between 18-39, but our trips only go from Buenos Aires to Rio, and not the other way.

    Suhey

    Asked on January 15th, 2025

    What is the policy on currency exchange?
