          Amazing Falls
          It’s amazing…you can’t lose with the falls iin the Brazil or Argentina side. The price of admission is very reasonable. There are three exits from the park bus from the entrance; 1. Excursions 2. Main trail (recommended) excellent panoramic views. 3. Short trail to falls. There is a bird sanctuary across the street that is amazing. The Argentina side has 3 trails, upper, lower and Devils Throat. If you are limited in time I would recommend leaving upper trail out…although it is still a very good one.

          Find a better tour company option in Iguazu
          Honestly, not great. TLDR: they don't really care about you having a good time and ignore very important details, and make a lot of mistakes. We went to Iguazu Falls. Maybe our representative wasn't experienced, or maybe he just didn't care. There were so many mistakes made, and all of them were avoidable. We had a group of four, but not all together - two groups of two, one couple coming from NYC and one couple from Chicago. My flight from NYC was delayed, which should be no issue for a tour company. But the the Chicago group was on time. So they messed up the pickup, and the Chicago group was stuck at the airport for an hour because Ripio cancelled their pickup, even though they were on time. Ok, bad start. Then they charged $39 per person to go to the first stop which was billed as a "half city tour and visit the 3 frontier landmark". There was no "half city tour" and the "visit" was basically nothing. No instruction, no assistance, we just parked there and walked around for 5 minutes. Next up: we booked a sunset boat cruise for night one, but it was cancelled due to weather. That's fine, but then he moved it to Tuesday and moved our Tango dinner show from Tuesday to Wednesday. Two problems here: the boat cruise was pretty bad, mostly senior citizens. And the tango show ended at 11pm on Wednesday...but we had a 2:15am pickup on Thursday to get to the airport. So he should have just left the tango show on Tuesday night and either cancelled the boat cruise or moved it from Monday to Wednesday, since it ended earlier in the night than the tango show. Or just tell us the boat cruise is for old people and let us decide. An experienced tour guide would have known not to book a late-night activity, when we had a flight so early the next morning. He had all the details, and clearly just wanted to check boxes instead of make sure we had a good time. All in all I wouldn't recommend them.

          Avoid Iguazu tours, maybe this company.
          We booked the Full Moon Puerto Iguaza tour. It was advertised as a small group tour of 15-20 people, which I thought justified the added cost versus booking directly with the park. Nope. They just drop you off at the entrance and you go on a tour with 150-200 people. Essentially you pay 150US for a 30 cab ride.

          Amazing views
          Both tours were wonderful. The guide Junior on the Argentina side was fabulous. He was very accommodating and so informative. The same goes for Macca, our guide on the Brazil side. Well worth visiting both sides.

          Out of this world! Iguazu Falls
          We were happily surprised with the complete on time service . All the vans were completely new and clean and the drivers were super polite. Especially Lucia she was amazing! They took care of every detail perfectly.

          Best way to spend evening in Iguazu
          We had such a fun time! Can't imagine a better way to spend an evening in Puerto Iguazu. Enjoyed meeting the other guests as we engaged in cocktail mixing, empanada folding, and dining on a wide-array of appetizers and main meal, which included the most delicious filet mignon we've ever eaten. Our two hosts, Bruno and Mateo, were fantastic hosts and added a lot of fun to the evening. This experience stands out as a highlight in our 16-day trip and will be talked about for a long time to come!

          Excellent Food great service. Spectacular smell and excitement watching the fresh coals burning on the grill. Wine pairing was great as well.

          Visit to both sides iguazu falls with manual wheelchir
          My husband (76) can walk only a few steps so I pushed him in his manual wheelchair to both sides of the falls. Tours were $350 per person for 2 days--after reading the forum, decided to use a taxi. We took a taxi from the airport offered with the set price of 15000 to town to drop off luggage, then realized the falls were closer than the town, so had the taxi driver take us to the falls, where he facilitated my husband's free entrance (Argentinean law). I should have also been free as his companion but we did not have a certificate of handicappedness, so 2 for 1. The top circuit is closed. Pushed him around the superior circuit, mostly a grated path, ok for WC, not too much up and down. Views were ok--from the top looking down on different falls. Near the end a Brazilian man offered to push him--it was hot, I was tired--and he pushed him the rest of the way. After lunch, set off for the inferior circuit. Lots of vague signage and going up and down looking for the path-- the kind of thing one would not notice were one not pushing a WC in 90-degree heat-- before finally realizing the trail began down a VERY steep hill which I knew I could never push him back up, so he waited for me in the shaded lunch area. The inferior circuit was an almost flat grated path with better views than the superior. A golf cart for the truly handicapped would have made it accessible. Paid 35000, ie $30, for transport from the airport to the park, storing luggage in taxi trunk, and then transport to town. seemed ok, so didn't bargain. Next day our driver picked us up at 8:30--our choice, he suggested 730--took us to the Brazilian side across 2 borders, waited for us 2 1/2 hours, then took us back across borders to a gas station where we were picked up for another trip. Cost 45000. Did not bargain. Handicapped's only advantage, at least with a taxi: is going to the front of the line. On the Brazilian side, we took the bus- into the park. I got off at the path and my husband took it to the end. The walk to the falls was in the shade of the hill and very pleasant with nice views. Had stairs so impractical with chair. No real signs but at the elevator, you are near the bus stop. I found my husband and walked back up to the building then DOWN to the elevator. I advise taking the downhill shadier path into the elevator building to avoid a steepish hot path, which I did not know til I did the opposite as NO SPECIFIC SIGNS.. But--HOW GREAT!-they have a panoramic elevator to get close to the falls, which otherwise would be inaccessible. I pushed him to the last platform beside the falls, There was a lower grated path directly in front of the fall, EXTREMELY crowded, think Times Square on Saturday night. I could have probably taken him there but he declined. We returned on the non-panoramic elevator and walked (Up through the sun) to the bus stop. My only regret is that I later discovered an 8 km hiking trail starting at the visitor center on Argentinian Falls. I would have loved to walk on it, but as my husband had already had to wait for me, sadly impractical. Cost for 2 days: taxi 80000--about $ 68, plus entrance fees The experience was truly priceless

          Superb Argentina travel experience
          I was a little nervous after selecting Ripio Turismo online but this business is 100% genuine, superb hotels, flights and arrangements. I was collected from airports & hotels, great trips arranged, excellent dinner show. They handled everything in a first class manner also very competitive prices, will book other South American trips with them

          Fun day ! Highly recommend the horse back riding .
          Fully enjoyed the day ! Beautiful property and learned about the history of the ranch. We watched a demonstration of sheep herding and shearing. Participated in milking a cow as well as watching 2 rancheros competing in a horse barrel race. We added the 3 hour horse back ride and so glad we did. The luncheon was also Very good and plentiful .

          Let down by Turisur
          VERY poor communication from the local agency. I requested an alternative pick- up to their office in Bariloche, as we were staying along the road towards the start point of the excursion. I received no response to 2 e-mails, and ended up driving to and from the starting point myself, and pay for parking, despite having paid for the transfer. That in itself was not the issue, but the failure of the company to respond was unacceptable. The trip itself was OK, but very much a herd experience. The scenery is dramatic and beautiful.

          Great way to spend the day!
          Fun day! The train ride was beautiful and informative. Quick stop to see the waterfall. Gorgeous scenery and loved seeing wild horses. The afternoon boat ride through the Beagle Channel was very pretty. Got to see so many birds and sea lions and the lighthouse. Enjoyed the quick stop and walk around on the island. A bit pricey but the whole day was really fun and a great way to spend the day and see the area!

          Two day Iguazu Fall tour
          The arrangements made by Lucia Rubio were prompt and professional. The taxi and airline booking were done well. Having traveled from California, we had to prompt the taxis and agent the day before to verify the appointment to feel comfortable. But they were prompt and courteous. The tour guide was good and knowledgeable. We covered amazing views from Argentina's and Brazil’s sides of the Iguazu Falls, including a helicopter tour. The weather also cooperated to make our trip comfortable and enjoyable. Overall, the trip was excellent.

          Absolutely fantastic visit to the penguins
          Absolutely amazing experience walking through this area full of penguins and their cute little babies! The trip was well organized, we received good information and everything flowed smoothly. The focus was just on the penguins, no other visits along the way, which was what we were after.

          Great meal, even better experience.
          Expensive but worth it. Can you eat the same amount of meat for less money in Buenos Aires? Certainly. But you are unlikely to leave the table with as much new knowledge of the culture and ingredients that make this meal wonderful. Do the Malbec wine pairing. Worth every peso.

        Thrilling off road experience by the Fagnano Lake, very well organized. Good cars, skilled drivers, they know the way by heart. Also interesting explanations along the way. And some of the most beautiful landscapes on Tierra del Fuego. Worth every cent!

        We went in December for a week, we rented a discount in front of the Ushuaia sign, an excellent location, I recommend it, it's called Polo Sur Apartments, close to everything and with a balcony with an unbeatable view of the bay and the hills. We rented a car at the airport to get around on our own to do the excursions, I recommend it, we spent much less and we did things at our own pace, the distances are very short so we spent very little on fuel. I recommend hiring the navigation once in Ushuaia and on the same day since depending on the weather it leaves or not, they have two schedules at 9:30 a.m. and at 3 p.m. go half an hour earlier, there are many companies that provide the service, the ride It is approximately 4 hours. We went to the Tierra del Fuego National Park two days in a row, since on the first we took the ride on the End of the World train and that took us half a day and in the afternoon we traveled the paths of Lapataia. On the second day we went to Lake Acigami, from there we started the Hito XXIV Trail and Cerro Guanaco, beautiful trekking.
        This is very important, you should wear warm clothing and trekking shoes, and always go out with water because all the walks you take are long walks in which your body will ask for hydration, and I assure you that it is very cold despite Being summer, it snowed one day for almost 5 hours and the wind is very strong and constant, the good thing about this time of year is that it dawns at 430 am and it is daylight until 11 pm.
        We climbed Martial Hill, 2 hours of walking, when we got to the top we had some sandwiches for lunch and regained our strength appreciating the view from above, when we went down we passed by the tea house, very charming and with delicious things to snack on.
        Laguna Esmeralda, another goyita from Ushuaia, took us half a day, then we continued along national route 3 towards Tolhuin, along the way we stopped at the Garibaldi pass to take some beautiful photos from that panoramic viewpoint. Upon returning we visited El Presidio, we took a guided tour where they explained the history from its foundation to its final closure.
        A trip that is not very widespread is to visit Laguna Bombilla, to do this we take route 3 towards Lago Escondido and once there a gravel road that goes along the coast, halfway there we pass by an active beaver farm where in addition to being able To appreciate the beavers doing their work, we stopped to have some mates in a beautiful place prepared with tables and chairs and grills to spend the day. Upon arriving at the Bombilla lagoon there is a camping space with grills and a very long walkway that literally gives you the feeling of being in the center of the lake, the very beautiful coastline with beaches accessible by car or on foot.
        Upon returning we headed to Playa Larga, then we continued to the Escarpados Beacon.
        Well, I'm probably forgetting many more places that we visited because we didn't stop for 7 days. Write me anything and I'll give you more information. I hope it's useful to you.
