ARGENTINA – REGULAR TOURS
CATARATAS
DEL IGUAZU – IGUAZU FALLS
A memorable experience and a spectacle of nature
that are considered one of the wonders of the world. These falls originated 200
thousands years ago in the place that today is known as “the 3 frontiers”
marked with stone pillars, where the Iguazú river and the Paraná river meet.
A geological fault produced in the Paraná
riverbed made the outlet of the Iguazú river become
an abrupt cascade approximately 80 meters high.
From that point, where the falls originate to
where the Devil’s Throat is located today, covers 23 kilometers. This is due to
the slow process of erosion, however the steep drop which defines them as
waterfalls remains.
This original cascade, has become the most
impressive fall of the group, the Devil’s Throat. Eighty meters high, it is located on the
principal river course. Depending on the water level, you can see anywhere
between 160 to 260 falls, that on average flow at a
rate of 1500 cubic meters of water per second.
The violence of the falls produce a permanent
fog, where sunbeams form multiple rainbows of incredible beauty.

ARGENTINA
SALTA
The northwest of Argentina
is a territory with the most abrupt changes of climate and landscape in the
country. Hispanic culture has left a strong mark here, and one can see adobe
homes and modest churches in nearly every community, and the remains of
pre-Hispanic culture are everywhere. Variegated barren hills rise all around,
large cacti dot the landscape, and the deep blue of the sky is only
occasionally interrupted by clouds. There are a number of places in the region
that don't fit into this category at all, and the scenery ranges from jungle
gardens to icy Andean peaks, from moon landscape to deciduous forest, and from
adobe villages to streams and rivers of clear water; but wherever you go in the
northwest, there's always something interesting to do or see, and certainly,
friendly people and plenty of sun.

(1*) Salta gets her name from the Aymara word "sagta",
meaning ¨very beautiful¨, and is known today as "la linda"
(the beautiful one). Situated in a very fertile valley, that still bears the
founder's name "Lerma", is, of all the
provincial capitals, the city that has best preserved its patrimony of colonial
architecture.
This is one of the oldest cities
founded in the country by the Spaniards. The main point of interest will be the
Cabildo (Town Hall), the Archbishop´s Palace and
Cathedral all around the main square (9 de Julio), San Francisco´s church and
San Bernardo´s church and convent. A visit to the crafts market, actually an
old mansion transformed into a museum and gift exhibition centre, offers an
excellent chance to observe authentic samples of the native artcrafts
and the opportunity to buy them at very reasonable prices
(2*) Cafayate is situated 183 km away
from the capital city and has become the
most important site in the Calchaquí Valleys. Located
at 1,660 m above sea level.
Cafayate it´s the home to the only true native varietal
Argentine wine - the Torrontes - of fruity and sweet
flavor. Visit to the wineries with opportunities of wine tasting. The drive to Cafayate passes by some impressive geological formations
produced by erosion on the colourful
sedimentation of sandstone over the past 60 million years and getting to know its
streets, its houses and mainly its people is a pleasant experience due to the
fact that tourism is an important activity for the town. One cannot miss to
observe the unique architecture of the Cathedral, the flowery main square, the
picturesque stone mill or the wine museums.
(3*) Full-day excursion to Quebrada de Humahuaca and pre-Hispanic towns. We'll leave Salta in the
direction of San Salvador de Jujuy, we will go to the most picturesque part of the Valley, up to Humahuaca, passing by Tumbaya, Purmamarca (with the Mountain of Seven Colors), Maimará, (with the Painter's palette), Tilcara
(that attracts for its famous Pucara, not precisely a
fortress but an Omoguacan village probably built in
the 10th century, on top of a mountain), Huacalera (a
few steps away from the Tropic of Capricorn), Uquía
(with the chapel built in 1691 and the most ancient wooden altarpiece in the
region, and the paintings of the “Arcabuceros Angels”)
and finally, charming Humahuaca; the village known
for it's ¨Carnaval Norteño¨
(Northern Carnival).

(1*) The Valdés
Peninsula is one of the most important wildlife reserves in Argentina, jutting
out into the sea and joining the firm earth through the Carlos Ameghino isthmus. The peninsula’s landscape is arid and in
the desert the outstanding feature are the low-lying Salinas Grandes (salt lakes) below sea level. Several guanacos, theas and maras can be seen
loping along the road, and there also are many sheep farms on the island. The
Peninsula’s main attraction is to be found on its coasts -mainly cliffs- and
surrounding waters. There is an elephants seal colony at Punta Delgada (½
September to ½ April). The Golfo Nuevo is the
breeding ground for Southern Right whales (½ July to ½ December). About 1 ½ hs navigation departing from Puerto Pirámides,
a small tourist resort, which allows passengers to approach the whales until
almost touching them, and move among them while they whistle and play; an
unforgettable experience). On the Isla de los Pájaros
(an islet in the Gulf San José) there is a marine bird reserve, where there are
Kelp gulls and cormorants.
(2*) Leaving from Puerto Madryn to the south we
will reach Punta Tombo, the Magellan penguins
provincial reserve where visitors are awed from September to April with the
vision of hundreds of thousands of penguins running after their breeding or
looking for their nests. Its aim was to protect one of the most diverse sea
birds colonies in Argentina, and the biggest Magellan Penguin colony on the
continent, with almost half a million individuals. With a landscape typical of
the Patagonian steppe, arid and desolate, you will be surprised by the activity
of animals as you get closer to Punta Tombo. Punta Tombo is also a paradise for other sea birds that nest
there. Gray or Austral Seagulls, Skuas, two species
of Cormorants, Steam Ducks, and two species of Oyster Catchers, Antarctic
Doves, Giant Petrels, and others. Islote Chato, situated on the north of Punta Tombo,
is a resting and gathering place for hundreds of Sea Wolves. In the neighboring
waters you will see Whales, Dolphins and Orcas. Once in the steppe you will
notice the presence of American Ostriches, Gray Foxes, Armadillos, Maras, and
herds of Guanacos, Skunks and Ferrets. Punta Tombo is a key
point for many species, as indicated by the diversity and abundance of both
land and sea wild fauna that you can see and admire there.
In this tour you will visit
Gaiman city The name Gaiman
is a Tehuelche term meaning "sharpening
stone". This village conserves the habits, the language, the architecture
and the tradition of the first Welsh colonists, a peaceful simple place full of
history. After traveling through the picturesque streets of Gaiman,
you should not miss the singularly flavored "Welsh Tea", prepared
according to the old traditions, and accompanied with Welsh Cake and different
home-made cakes and bread. The famous Welsh Cake was introduced in Patagonia by
Welsh immigrants who arrived in 1850 to the lower valley of the Chubut river.
There are several variants for this recipe, but the basic one includes black
sugar, nuts and currants.
