Step straight back into 18th century Argentina with your private A&K guide as you travel through the vast plains of Pampas to colonial township, San Antonio de Areco. Take a deep dive into ranch culture at the Ricardo Güiraldes Gaucho Museum, study master craftsmen as they hammer out Pampas artifacts — from yerba mate gourds to belts — before visiting one of the oldest estancias in Argentina. Devour a delicious barbecue lunch before exploring the property on a horse ride, by carriage or bike. Challenge locals to a game of bocce, Argentine style, or simply relax on the porch, watching local life unfold. This afternoon, enjoy a peaceful, gaucho-inspired afternoon tea before returning to Buenos Aires.

This morning, enjoy a private transfer to Buenos Aires airport for your onward flight to Puerto Iguazú — the gateway to UNESCO World Heritage site, Iguazú Falls. Accompany your A&K guide to the plunging, deafening cascade of the ‘Garganta del Diablo’ waterfall (Devil’s Throat), before continuing on to the only hotel in Brazil to grant exclusive access to Iguazú National Park. Soak up the jungle chorus while you float in the pool, stroll gardens brimming with orchids or perhaps sip caipirinhas as you admire the falls in near solitude.

Descend into the glittering Iguazú Falls canyon as you absorb the staggering panorama of some 275 separate falls, before taking a glass elevator back up to the crest. Then set off in an open 4WD jeep to the heart of the rainforest with your expert naturalist, followed by an exhilarating boat trip over rapids as you pass through the waterways of the canyon and up to the base of the falls themselves. Later, you may like to experience a helicopter flight (additional charge) for an unrivalled view of the waterfalls, or head back to your exclusive accommodation to relax by the pool.

Later, head to the bohemian Santa Teresa neighbourhood for a taste of Old Rio and your sumptuous lunch at a private estate.
