1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Watching a capybara at sunset
2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Give yourself time to see Buenos Aires.
3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Flying to South America and then having 2 internal flights and several long car journeys has a huge environmental impact. It's a luxury vacation. We contributed to the local economies and foreign tourists encouraged the forestry company to preserve some wetlands - but I don't feel that we could really say that we made a huge positive impact.
4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
We loved it.

Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear you had such a good time in Argentina. We understand that flying to the country, and traveling around by car to reach such far-flung corners of wilderness, will leave a significant carbon footprint. We therefor seek to make sure you are visiting places that inspire you, and that need the income from lightfooted tourism to protect their surroundings..
By visting the Ibera Wetlands you are helping to grow and rewild one of the South America's most important freshwater ecosystems. Now known for its impressive biodiversity and housing endangered species, just 30 years ago it was a degraded backwater suffering from years of cattle ranching, commercial foresting and illegal hunting. The hugely succesful rewilding project has been made possible in a significant way by money from visitors like yourselves, staying at ethically-run lodges who contribute to its preservation. In 2018 it was acknowledged with National Park status, and continues to reintroduce endangered species.
We hope that by witnessing such remarkable landscapes and wildlife, you were inspired to do more to help protect the planet. We have seen that people who experience the most spectacular wonders of nature, will be more likely to do something positive when they get home.

Responsible Travel
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) vacation so that you can travel knowing it will help support the places and people that you visit, and the planet. Read how below.
Planet
With environmentally-friendly tourism at the forefront of our itinerary planning, this is a trip that perfectly encapsulates the cohesion of sustainability, luxury and adventure in Argentina. From handpicked ethically-run accommodation, to a focus on lesser-visited natural wonders in need of protection.For example by staying in eco wildlife lodges in the Ibera Wetlands and Yaboti Biosphere Reserve (for the Macona Falls) before we reach world-famous Iguazu, your trip will help support conservation efforts in these often overlooked but beautiful habitats. Marsh deer, giant anteaters, jaguars, pumas, maned wolves and giant otters are amongst the species protected in these areas.
You will also take just two domestic flights across a mammoth 24 day itinerary, causing far fewer emissions than a more traditional 'highlights' package trying to link all the famous sights of Argentina (plus often Chile and Brazil) in one flight-heavy carbon-emitting package. These flights both cover distances that would otherwise take at least two days of driving and a distance of over 1000km each.
People
Our slow travel itinerary is designed so you can spend more time in each area, spreading the financial benefits of tourism wider and deeper into communities less visited than on a classic highlights or 'bucket list' package.You will meet yerba mate and tea producers off-the-beaten-path in Misiones, stay in small isolated tourist hotels on the wild Puna, and be able to shop for authentic souvenirs in far-flung towns and indigenous markets across Salta and Jujy provinces. The money that small scale, responsible tourism brings to these communities is particularly crucial after the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021 completely cut off this important source of income.
All of this is done with our community-focussed, highly-trained, well paid guides helping you tread the right path, In fact our local partners are one of the most ethically-focussed ground agents currently operating in Argentina, which is the primary reason we picked them from the hundreds out there.
