PRE-CRUISE ITINERARY†
DAY 1, Tuesday - Air Arrival Day* After a morning transfer from the airport to your hotel, take some time to relax and grab lunch at your leisure. After a 1:30 pm “meet & greet,” with your Tour Director and fellow travelers, you’ll depart on a city tour highlighting historic neighborhoods and exciting attractions including:
• La Boca, the birthplace of the tango.
• San Telmo, known for its colonial buildings and French-inspired architecture.
• Café Tortoni – Coffee break at the oldest coffee shop in Argentina that served as the artistic and intellectual capital of Buenos Aires.
• Main Square Plaza de Mayo, surrounded by the Casa Rosada (Presidential Headquarters, the balcony where Eva and Juan Perón made their speeches), the Cabildo (Colonial Town Hall, the first government house in Buenos Aires) and the cathedral.
• Recoleta Cemetery, an above ground cemetery lined with mausoleums and statues and where Evita Perón is buried.
At the end of the tour, return to your hotel. In the evening, savor the authentic flavors of Buenos Aires during a tour of the city’s famous “parrillas.” While delighting in the best that these steakhouses have to offer, you’ll learn about Argentina’s vibrant culture, meet locals and end on a sweet note with a visit to one of the best artisanal “heladerias” (ice cream shops) in Buenos Aires.
Overnight: Buenos Aires Meals: Dinner
DAY 2, Wednesday - Buenos Aires/Iguazú Falls Enjoy an early breakfast at your hotel before a transfer to the airport for your short flight to Iguazú (about 1.5 hours). Upon arrival, you’ll be taken directly to Iguazú Falls National Park. Did you know Iguazú in the native Guaraní language means “great waters”? It’s not surprising, considering the park consists of 275 waterfalls, portrayed as a half moon stretching 2.7 kilometers alongside the Iguazú River. During your visit, you will behold the majesty of this exquisite place from many different vantage points. Your jungle and waterfall adventure includes:
• The Great Adventure – an 8km panoramic ride through the jungle with an experienced guide to the Puerto Macuco Base. After climbing 100 meters of stairs to a floating platform, you’ll board an inflatable boat for a 6km ride through the canyons of the Iguazú River and face the San Martín waterfall, the largest waterfall any motorboat can safely approach. You’ll probably get wet.
• A hiking excursion though the jungle along one of the two circuits. Enjoy unique views of each waterfall leading to a precipice of the 80m gorge at Devil’s Throat.
Lunch will be provided during the tour. Order of attractions may be altered due to local conditions. At the conclusion of the tour, check-in to your hotel to relax and have dinner.

DAY 3, Thursday - Iguazú Falls/Village Fortin Mborore/Buenos Aires Your day begins with a full breakfast.

Here, you’ll learn about the secrets of the jungle, their natural medicine, culture, songs, dances, crafts, philosophy of life and beliefs. Enjoy the “Spirit of Trees,” an expert guided jungle walk. Visit a temple in the jungle and learn about tribe initiations and baptisms. Take a break for lunch at the Park Restaurant. Then it’s one last visit to Devil’s Throat from another amazing viewpoint. Continue to the airport for an evening flight back to Buenos Aires.
Overnight: Buenos Aires Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
DAY 4, Friday - Buenos Aires After breakfast at your hotel, enjoy the day all to yourself before donning your hottest dance shoes for a sultry tango lesson taught by professional dancers.

DAY 5, Saturday - Buenos Aires/San Antonio de Areco/Embarkation Spend the day at The XIX century “Estancia” (Ranch) El Rosario de Areco.

Estancia workers (gauchos) are equestrian masters and have their own vibrant culture of music and dance.
Upon arrival at El Rosario de Areco, you’ll be welcomed by gauchos on horseback and meet the owners, a traditional family of pioneers kind enough to open their homes and share their way of life. In addition to horseback riding, swimming, carriage rides and walks around the estancia, you’ll also enjoy an amazing gaucho and horses show, a folkloric performance with music and local dances.
Later, enjoy a traditional Argentine barbecue parrilla lunch, wine from the ranch’s winery and fresh desserts made from cow's milk that is produced on site. In the afternoon, you’ll be transferred to the pier in Buenos Aires for embarkation aboard Norwegian Sun.
