How this holiday makes a difference

The Estancia in Corrientes has converted 12000 hectares of former cattle ranch into a nature reserve and oversees conservation projects, ensuring this increasingly threatened wetland habitat is around for future generations to enjoy. Education is of great importance. Staying here and going on excursions in the wetlands allows guests to gain a good understanding of the local ecosystem and an appreciation for the importance of wetlands and savannah landscapes. All meals are prepared with organic vegetables and free range meat.

Part of your money, paid to the hotel in Foz de Iguaçu goes towards conserving the national park in which you stay. This gesture is greatly appreciated and helps to decrease the environmental impact of tourism in the area.

In Buenos Aires your hotel is made of just 4 rooms, meaning a minimized impact on the environment and a more personal involvement with the local staff. As with all of our tours and expeditions, we use locally sourced guides and drivers, such as Diana in Buenos Aires. This provides you with the ideal person with which to learn about the city whilst also getting to know the people and their way of life in person. This in turn gives us more opportunity to support the local economy, whilst allowing our local guides the chance to broaden their horizons, improve their English and share with you their marvelous city.

Part of the cost of your holiday goes towards the planting of 20 hard wood trees in the Mata Atlantica, under the guidance of R.E.G.U.A. (Reserva Ecologica de Guapi Assu) who protect one of the last stands of primary tropical rainforest left in the severely depleted Atlantic Rainforest in Brazil.

Tailor made holiday to Argentina

Reviewed 02 Jun 2010 by Sam Reeve5 star rating

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


This would be a three way tie between: the tour of the glacier in Patagonia, the tour of the valleys around Salta and the falls at Iguzu.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


Make sure that you are happy with the time you have in each location. Some locations are well worth the visit, but as they only have one main attraction you might struggle to find lots to do with too many days to fill.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


Think the local tours we booked were all run by local people, all the pruvate transfers were with local companies, some of the hotels were owned and run by Argentine's but some understandably were international concerns.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


We wanted a 5 star honeymoon and we got a 5 star holiday experiencing many different sides of Argentina.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


It is difficult to choose a most memorable part as this is the best holiday we've ever had, but I think that the three days in the Estancia in the wetlands were the most memorable. Arriving in a Cessna was very exciting, the hotel and people there are just faultless. Amazing location, amazing wildlife, amazing people, amazing accommodation...

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


The tour operator is a great agency, explain what you are looking for and then sit back, relax and trust them, you will have the best time ever!

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


We feel our holiday benefited local people: we stayed in hotels run by locals, our guides were from the region we visited and the restaurants we went also run by locals. At the Estancia in the wetlands, a nature reserve, many Argentinean scientists are reintroducing species. It was very interesting talking to them and having a feel for the difficulties of reintroducing animals such as jaguars in regions were cattle are raised. Argentina is a very big country, we therefore decided to fly from one place to the next, so much for the environment...

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


This was our honeymoon and we therefore had high expectations. Well, we can now say that it was our best holiday ever!
