Craig N. Customer Feedback

Dec 15 2010
Filed In: Buenos Aires, Colonia del Sacramento, Customer Feedback, Iguazu Falls

Craig N. Customer Feedback • ( Washington, United States ) Hi Carlos – I want to thank you for helping organize an amazing trip to Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls, and Uruguay! Everything was perfect – people were on time, very friendly, accommodating, and helpful…everything was just as it should be. I also want to say the Casa de Limoneros as one of the highlights of the trip, particularly since it was on Thanksgiving. The property was so picturesque – we went for bike rides, runs, and enjoyed the pool. Sergio and Mario was quite a friendly pair too. I can’t say enough about the ladies at the front desk of the Design CE Hotel – they were so nice, friendly and helpful…so glad we met them and you recommended the hotel. Craig

Wanda Mines and San Ignacio Ruins

Dec 03 2010
Filed In: Iguazu Falls, Tours

Wanda Mines and San Ignacio Ruins ( Iguazu Falls – USD 60 x person ) • A trip back in time. First stop, Wanda Mines. An active mine 1 hour away from Iguazu Falls. Visit the site and the caves and discover the nature of these volcanic stones (gems). The tour continues to the Jesuitic Mission Ruins of San Ignacio, driving by the beautiful route 12 that will keep you alert and amazed by the greens and reds, typical of this region. Once at the Ruins site, visit the Museum and wait for the local bilingual guide to take you on a journey back in time to the Jesuitic Missions story. A great tour not only to visit the featured sites, but also to enjoy a full day traveling to the heart of this beautiful province – Misiones.

Grand Adventure Tour Iguazu Falls


Filed In: Iguazu Falls, Tours

Grand Adventure Tour ( Iguazu Falls Argentinean Side ) • Get Ready to Get WET. !!! With motor-boats, they take visitors 6 km through the Canyon of the Iguazu River, until the falls, from these total, 2 km are river rapids. After enjoying the view from the calm side of San Martin Island we sail to the “Tres Mosqueteros” waterfall, at that point, the Brazilian and Argentinean sides and the Devil’s Throat can be clearly appreciated. After that, we sail along the shore of the island until we get to the most exciting part where we face the San Martin waterfall, a wonderful and unforgettable experience, for it’s the largest waterfall any motor-boat can approach safely. Get ready to get wet. !!
