Argentine travel agency
In planning for a trip to Antarctica in January ’06, I decided to also visit Iguazú Falls on the Argentina/Brazil border. While searching the Web, I found the Buenos Aires travel agency Partir Viajes E.V.T. (Av. Córdoba 679, 1° C, Buenos Aires, Argentina, C.P. AAF1054C; tel. +54 11 4515 1888 or visit www.partirviajes.com. ar). My contact there was Noelia Delpech (e-mail noelia@ partirviajes.com.ar).
Noelia was able to make the following arrangements, fitting my schedule: three nights’ single occupancy at Hotel Orquideas at Iguazú in Argentina, breakfast included; round-trip air from Buenos Aires to the Iguazú airport; transfers from the airport to the hotel, and a tour of both the Brazilian and Argentine sides of the falls, including entrance fees to the parks, all for $420.
The Antarctic tour group had a 2-night option, without the airfare, for $695.
Noelia was a pleasure to work with. She responded to my many questions quickly and efficiently. She even found me lodging, for both the night prior to the trip and upon return, at a hotel near the domestic airport in Buenos Aires. Within a half hour of my arriving at the Buenos Aires hotel, Noelia called to see if everything was satisfactory.
If you are going to Argentina, contact them. I am certainly glad I did.
