Explore the Argentinian Mesopotamia, a region with some of the most important rivers in South America.
Learn about the Guarani culture. 
Meet the Crew from the Buenos Aires Program

Description

We’ll visit the magnificent Iguazú Falls from both sides: Brazil, to enjoy the views of some of the 275 waterfalls, and the Argentinian side where the falls are so close that you won’t need a shower that day. 
The falls are located in a unique rainforest: Selva misionera, land of Guaranies, natives that invented the most important tradition in Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and southern Brazil: mate. We’ll visit a Guarani community to learn about their cosmovision, the characteristics of the rainforest, the plants they use for cooking and medicine. Iguazu falls is one of the most popular destination for both countries so if you are in these latitudes, you can't miss it! 

Who is this experience good for

For nature lovers that want to enjoy their weekend surrounded by a rainforest, falls, rivers and a unique fauna.
