Iguazu
Biking & Waterfall Walk
After an early wholesome breakfast at the hotel, we’ll be prepared to head out for our morning of jungle biking. We’ll head along route 101, cutting deep into the National Park where we’ll be able to witness its incredible biodiversity. Our early morning biking efforts will be duly rewarded with various wildlife sightings. These early hours are the perfect time to catch sight of more birds and mammals active in their native rainforest habitat. After our bike ride, we’ll be transferred to Iguazu National Park where we’ll have the chance to explore the various levels of trails and balconies. You will then be able to stay as long as you would like, and enjoy the scenery at your leisure. When you’re ready to leave, you’ll be able to easily find a taxi transfer back to our hotel. The remains of the afternoon and evening are at leisure to explore and soak in these natural surroundings. The hotel staff would be happy to recommend some great local dining options.

Trip Facts
Travel Documents
Citizens of Canada and the US only require a valid passport to enter Argentina. Please ensure that your passport is valid for six months beyond the date of arrival, or you may be refused entry. Always carry a photocopy of your passport in the unfortunate case of loss or theft; this precaution will speed up the reissue process..
Food and Water
A great part of Argentina adventure travel is the food. Some of the must-tries in Argentina include carbonada (beef stew with rice, sweet potatoes, squash, maize and chopped apples and peaches), matambre relleno (stuffed and rolled flank steak served cold or baked) and almendrado (ice cream rolled in crushed almonds). You should exercise caution with food sold in the streets. Tap water is treated in Buenos Aires, although to be on the safe side it is advisable to drink only bottled water, which is available widely. Fruit drinks, soft drinks, coffee and tea are all widely available and safe to drink.
