Argentina: From Patagonia to Iguazú, last 3 spots for January 2027
Dreaming of discovering Argentina? For a departure on January 17, 2027, the specialist AmériGo still has 3 spots left on its guided tour "Land of Contrasts," with an exclusive 200 € discount per person for VoyageForum readers.

In 14 days, this small-group trip lets you explore radically different landscapes, from the glaciers of Patagonia to the Iguazú Falls, passing through the mountains of northwestern Argentina and Buenos Aires.

From Tierra del Fuego to the glaciers of Patagonia The tour starts in Ushuaia, at the southern tip of the American continent. On the agenda: discovering Tierra del Fuego National Park and sailing on the Beagle Channel, between mountains, bird-filled islets, and sea lions. Next up is El Calafate to explore one of Argentina’s most impressive natural sites: the Perito Moreno Glacier. The trip also includes a boat ride on Lake Argentino to admire other glaciers, as well as an evening at a traditional Patagonian *estancia*, complete with a grilled lamb *asado*.

From Iguazú Falls to the colorful mountains of Salta A complete change of scenery in Iguazú, where the tropical forest is home to nearly 275 waterfalls. The itinerary lets you see the falls from both the Argentine and Brazilian sides, offering two complementary views of this incredible natural site. Further west, in the Salta region, the landscapes turn Andean. Travelers cross the Quebrada de las Conchas and its reddish rock formations, discover the Hill of Seven Colors in Purmamarca, and visit the vineyards of Cafayate, with a tasting of local wines. The trip wraps up in Buenos Aires, with a tour of its iconic neighborhoods, from La Boca to San Telmo, and an evening dedicated to tango.

A guided small-group tour

This 14-day, 12-night tour is limited to a maximum of 16 participants. It’s perfect for travelers who want to explore several major regions of Argentina in one trip without having to organize all the necessary travel themselves.

Chapada Diamantina National Park to gradually reopen (Brazil)
Chapada Diamantina National Park (also known as Brazil’s Grand Canyon) will begin reopening gradually, in phases and by village. Mucugê, for example, will be fully accessible starting August 31st. The only restrictions still to be clarified are events with more than 10 people and schools. I’ll post updates on the other villages in the park as soon as they’re available. Warm tropical greetings from Salvador da Bahia, Ivan Bahia Guide

Current state of tourism offerings in Chile
Hi there,

The National Tourism Service SERNATUR published a small graphic summary of the current situation in the tourism sector for each region of the country on August 14th.

It shows the percentage of operational tourist attractions, accommodations, airports, and bus stations across Chile’s sixteen regions.

You can check out the map by following this link: https://www.sernatur.cl/operatividad-y-recomendaciones-de-las-regiones-del-pais/

As you can see, in several regions, no tourist attractions are currently available. In two regions, only half are open.

(A quick but important note: the small village of San Pedro de Atacama is in the Antofagasta administrative region, not the Atacama region.)

The situation for accommodations, regional airports, and bus stations is relatively better.

Some good news, though—Torres del Paine National Park is expected to gradually reopen starting September 1st.

Here’s a link to an article on the topic: https://laprensaaustral.cl/cronica/destacan-reapertura-gradual-del-paine/

(If all goes well, other national parks should follow suit.)

For the general situation in the country, there’s another discussion on this forum: https://voyageforum.com/discussion/situation-actuelle-chili-d10335492/

Any input is welcome!

Good luck.
