Intrepid trip to Buenos Aries was a truely wonderful experience. I had no idea what to expect it was beyond more than that. To have a feel of the city , we were given a home host experience of local bbq cuisine. We heard the story of Tango dancing and got to participate. Iguaza falls were truely spectacular and too be able to fly over and see the wonderful waterfalls. And we took part in the boat trip getting an evening closer view of these amazing fall as well as getting wet. Rio lived to expectations again spectacular to be on the cable ride up to Sugar loaf and look at the stunning views around us. As we moved onto ‘Christ the Redeemer’ a beautiful structure again more wonderful views. The food was wonderful in both countries provided culinary cuisine.

We trusted Intrepid with our first trip to South America, based on a previous good experience. Intrepid's tour leader, Augustin Galetto, helped open our eyes and minds to some of the world's most beautiful and special places previously hidden from and unknown to our consciousness. Huge thanks to Intrepid, its local guides, and Augustin!
