    · April 1st, 2025
    Unfortunately, I didn't receive the link for immigration, and there was no way to withdraw Bolivian currency (it should have been stated at the Booking Confirmation that you can and must exchange money for Bolivian currency in San Pedro at a money exchange). My tour guide therefore had to lend me the money until we arrived in Uyuni! The hostel in San Pedro Aji Verde was very nice, but there were too many beds in the rooms (no room for backpacks; they were all on the floor, and you had to climb over them!) the hostel in Villa Mar the bed was Horrible to sleep like a hammock! salt hotel was great

    Jacob

    Asked on May 5th, 2025

    Is this ok for my mom, 83 she can walk etc but she cannot do adventurous things so is this a tour where we can go at our pace and not do things we can't handle it

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • Hi Travel ArgentinaOperatorWritten May 2025

      There is a sector of this trip that crossed from San Pedro de Atacama to Uyuni quere you will reach high altitudes (4800 meters above sea level). I'd say this can be a rough part of the trip for your mom. Maybe she is fit and altitude wont affect her but the services are basic and the country is unpredictable. In your place I would avoid high places and Bolivia. Also, the tour has a lot of buses, on one side, they are confortable and relaxing, but on the other side some can be up to 20 hours. You may need to do a tailor made trip that combines Brazi, Chile and Argentina, the longer bus sectors maybe flying to make it faster (if you want) and finishing in San Pedro but not crossing to Bolivia. Please let me know if that makes sense. Also, if you were thinking of going to high places with your mom, I would 1st talk to her doctor about altitude.

      6. How much is the Park Entrances fee?

    • Hi Travel ArgentinaOperatorWritten May 2025

      depending on hostel, dorms have between 4 and 6 beds

    • Hi Travel ArgentinaOperatorWritten May 2025

      Rafting in Mendoza has alternative Hight Mountain Sightseeing Tour or Horseback riding. In Buenos Aires, Bike tour or City tour (Sightseeing). In Santiago, only bike tour, but very calm and easy to do.

    • Hi Travel ArgentinaOperatorWritten May 2025

      Yes, overnights buses are safe and what people take to move from city to city. But if there is a sector you would like to fly, we can cut it, you add your flight (or we can help you with it) and we discount the bus part

    • Hi Travel ArgentinaOperatorWritten May 2025

      These trips are not group tours, they are made for independent travelers. That means you will be on your own (or with your friends or family if more book together) from destination to destination, but you will be with other people in the hostels and on board of the local tours.

    • Hi Travel ArgentinaOperatorWritten May 2025

      Park entrance fee depend on daily exchange rates but approximately they are the following: Iguazu Brazilian side: 24 usd, Iguazu Argentina side: 26 usd, Geisers del Tatio site: 14 USD, Avaroa National Park in Bolivia: 6 USD. Please bear in mind that these are approximate as they can change or the exchange rate can go up or down.

    Olga

    Asked on March 23rd, 2025

    Is this a group tour or self guided? I am looking for a group tour covering Rio de Janeiro to La Paz route.

    Tour Details
    • Hi Travel ArgentinaOperatorWritten March 2025

      This is independent and self guided, it is NOT a group tour. While in the different destinations, the city tours and other activities will be guided and in groups, but will not be people that are going to be with you until the end of the trip. In this kind of trips you go on your own from destination to destination using the public buses we book and provide, and on the bus there are other people traveling with you that you won't know.

    Asked on February 12th, 2025

    Is there enough time on this tour to do a tour of Easter Island?

    Tour Details
    • Hi Travel ArgentinaOperatorWritten February 2025

      To be able to add Easter Island, you'll need to add more days on the tour. Would this be a possible? We'll need maybe 4 nights.

    Jose

    Asked on October 29th, 2024

    I'm interested in booking your 30 day tour around South America and noticed the small print states 'find your own way to hotel' in most destinations. I'd like to know how travellers usually do this. Are the hotels close enough to walk or are we required to navigate public transport?

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Hi Travel ArgentinaOperatorWritten October 2024

      In some destinations, it's easy to walk to the accommodation but in other is better to take a taxi/uber. In Rio, Santiago and Buenos Aires we recommend you to take a taxi.

      TravelerWritten July 2024

      What is the difference between the budget hotels and 4 star hotels for the whole trip? Can I get a double room from San Pedro to Uyuni?

    • Hi Travel ArgentinaOperatorWritten July 2024

      If you choose double or single room for the tour, you'll also receive a private room during the overland from San Pedro to Uyuni. The category of those hotels will not be the same as other destinations. Some 4* hotel names include Windsor Copacabana (Rio), La Aldea lodge (Iguazu), Mod Hotel (Mendoza). We'll need to requote the tour in this case.

    • S

      Shirley

      TravelerWritten July 2024

      What will be the price difference for taking 4* hotels? Do the buses have food or drinks on board?

    • Hi Travel ArgentinaOperatorWritten July 2024

      Yes, you'll receive vouchers with all the information and details.

    • Hi Travel ArgentinaOperatorWritten July 2024

      We'll need to requote as this would be a tailormade program. Buses do not include catering, they have stops where you can have breakfast, lunch or dinner.
