Puerto Iguazú 4WD and boat adventure with Devil’s Throat and Tres Mosqueteros Falls, plus Argentina-side viewpoints and jungle trail.
“Esta excursión fatal. Es una estafa. El proveedor del lugar no responde. Nunca me recogieron en el punto de recogida señalado. Nunca se pusieron en contacto conmigo ni responden los correos electrónicos ni los mensajes. Me cobraron muchísimo dinero 390 USD por 3 personas. Y EN CATARATAS DE IGUAZÚ NADIE LOS CONOCE Y EL MISMO TOUR POR PERSONA CUESTA 60 dólares.”
Small-group 4x4 tour from Puerto Madryn with dune thrills, sea lion viewing at Punta Loma, and beach coffee stops. Extra reserve fee.
“first, I was informed that the 8am schedule we previously reserved will be moved to 12 noon. There was a change in the schedule of the cruise line which we were not aware until later. I insisted that we should have the 8am because the ship was leaving @ 4pm. If they can't provide that we will cancel our reservation and demanded to be refunded. The providers pleaded to us that they be given the business. We wanted to work with them also but they have to provide us the 8am schedule. They finally did and instead of a 4-hr tour it only lasted 21/2 hrs. The 4x4 off road…”

Ils ont su instaurer un esprit d'équipe et cela a contribué à la bonne ambiance durant le repas. Merci à Guillaume, Federico, le chauffeur et le cuisinier pour cette belle fin de matinée. Je recommande vivement cette activité.”

“We loved our day visiting the Argentine Falls ond taking this tour! The jungle paths were nice to walk around on and we saw lots of animals...birds, reptiles, and monkeys in the wild. However, the highlight of our day was obviously the boat ride under the falls!! The boat crew was fantastic and super nice taking photos of us and others seated in the bow of the boat during our ride. They ensured everyone had a great time as they safely soaked us all under the pouring water!! The Iguazu Falls are amazing and this is a fantastic way to enjoy them in another dimension as well!! Don't miss it,…”
4x4 off-road to Escondido and Fagnano Lakes from Ushuaia with big Andean viewpoints and an included Argentine BBQ lunch.
“This tour was everything we hoped for in an off road experience. True 4 x 4 roads through beautiful forests to stunning lakes. Raoul was our driver and we could tell he was very experienced at 4 x 4 off roading. Lunch was delicious and very filling. There was a small issue at the beginning of the tour but Patagonia's customer service was excellent and resolved it for us. We would definitely recommend this tour.”
A long day from El Calafate to Monte León National Park for penguins, sea lions, and Patagonian steppe wildlife, with snacks and WiFi.
“Though advertised obliquely as a 4x4 adventure, this trip was by high-clearance 32-seat truck. Nontheless, it proved appropriate for the 400 km drive diectly east from El Calafate, across morraine shingle and scrub. This journey provided a spectacular introduction to the unique Patagonian Steppe. The return trip, along sealed roads, was over 550 km and somewhat arduous. However, what disappointed was the penguin colony at Monte Leon. Supposedly 40,000 pairs of nesting birds, but aside from one or two individual stragglers, we couldn't get anywhere near them; and nor the sea lions! On top of this, the performance of the translator was poor throughout - Spanish spoken for 5-10 mins…”
