Reply To: Argentina – advice?

[yorkshireRich]

Some fantastic posts on here and great advice. I can’t add much at all, but I “flash packed” around some of South America 14 years ago, and I have fond memories.

Iguassu falls was one of the best things I have ever seen. I personally would state that you MUST factor this into your trip. Buenos Aires was amazing, as most people on here will tell you. You can catch a ferry across to Uruguay.

It would seem at first glance that Iberia would be the way to go to S America, so could you possibly fly out of rio de Janeiro maybe as there are direct flights from Iguassu to there.

Think in however many years, if I’m still travelling around, I would possibly do Buenos Aires, Uruguay, the Patagonia region, and then Iguassu followed by Rio.

I like the toss of the coin idea, it’s alittle more democratic than me telling the wife that I’m travelling to a certain place and that if she doesn’t want to go, I will still be off but I’ll pay for her a night in Scarborough in the summer time with the money saved.
