Next, fly to Iguazú Falls, a range of 275 waterfalls spanning nearly 3 kilometers along the borders of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. From Iguazú Falls, fly to Salta and tour this historic city, visiting some of the local cathedrals constructed during Argentina's colonial period. The following day, begin your circuit tour of the northeast; taking this trip by road allows you to see the desert beauty.

The tour concludes in Jujuy, where you will spend the next two nights. The next day enjoy an excursion to the Humahuaca Canyon, which contains excellent artifacts from the pre-Hispanic cultures that once thrived here. The following day return to Buenos Aires to connect with your international flight.
