Bariloche Airport to Llao Llao Hotel TransferYour driver meets you at Bariloche airport and drives you to Llao Llao Hotel in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle while pointing out local landmarks and the crystalline waters of Lake Nahuel Huapi along the way. The route climbs through Patagonian landscape, and the driver can recommend walks and restaurants before you arrive. Wheelchair accessible, with infant seats available if needed.Is it for me?Book this if you want to skip the taxi negotiation at the curb and have someone who knows the region handle the drive—the driver's commentary on Lake Nahuel Huapi and the Andes means you're already oriented before you check in.
Mendoza River Rafting: Class II Rapids & PotrerillosHalf-day rafting on the Mendoza River near Mendoza, Argentina, where you navigate intermediate Class II rapids (Class III or IV during summer high water) in an inflatable raft with a professional bilingual guide, complete neoprene gear, and helmet. Hotel pickup, base camp with lockers and showers, and free afternoon time in Potrerillos are included; no experience required, but moderate fitness and a willingness to get soaked are essential.Is it for me?The rapids demand steady paddling and comfort in moving water—this is intermediate whitewater, not a float. Summer high water can push difficulty higher, so if you're booking during peak season, expect Class III or IV sections and plan your fitness accordingly. The full day runs about seven hours from pickup to return, with the rafting itself taking a few hours and the rest split between drive time, base camp setup, and your free afternoon in town.
Rafting, Canopy or Trekking in Potrerillos from MendozaThis combo activity in Potrerillos lets you choose two experiences—rafting, canopy, or trekking—in a single day from Mendoza. A bilingual guide provides all equipment, safety instruction and hotel pickup and return, so you move between activities without organizing transport or gear. Children from age 12 can join; moderate fitness is needed.Is it for me?Choose rafting if you want to be in the water and moving fast; pick canopy if heights and speed appeal more; pick trekking if you want to walk and see the landscape. You can combine any two, so pair the one that excites you most with a second that balances it—adrenaline with scenery, or two different kinds of rush.
Mendoza Rafting and Hot Springs: Andes Adventure & WellnessMendoza rafting and hot springs combines nine hours of whitewater on the Mendoza River with thermal pool soaking at Cacheuta, set against the Andes. Round-trip transfers from Mendoza city center, neoprene suits, helmet, paddle, life jacket, towels and a snack are included; accident insurance covers the activity. Minimum age is 14 and moderate fitness is required.Is it for me?The round-trip transfers from Mendoza city center mean you don't need a car or a ride arranged—pickup and return are settled, so the day works whether you're staying in the city or passing through. The nine hours compress two completely different experiences—river and springs—into one departure, which is what makes it possible to do both without splitting your day.
Horseback Riding & Rafting in Potrerillos from MendozaA full-day activity in Potrerillos combining horseback riding with views of the Mendoza River and mountain range, whitewater rafting in glacial meltwater, and a three-course lunch with flame-cooked rib, all with private transfer from Mendoza accommodations.

Minimum age is 12; not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, pregnancy, or poor cardiovascular health.Is it for me?The guide speaks English or Spanish — choose when you book so the commentary and safety instruction reach you clearly.

Minimum age is 12.

Children from age 11 are welcome, and thermal wetsuits are provided.Is it for me?You paddle the rapids yourself on this private activity, which suits anyone who wants to be in the water rather than watching from the sidelines. The intermediate difficulty means you get real whitewater without needing expert technique, and the barbecue lunch afterward is a full meal, not a quick snack — book this if you have the afternoon free and want the day to unfold at its own pace.
Rafting and Rappelling in Mendoza: 8 hours of Andes adventureAn 8-hour activity in Mendoza combining rafting on the Mendoza River and trekking with rappelling at Cerro Mirador. You navigate rapids upstream from Potrerillos Dam, then descend three rappels of varying heights—20m, 12m, and 38m—through the Pre-Andean mountains to natural rock jumps at the Vertedero. A bilingual professional guide, all safety equipment, hotel transfer, and a cereal bar with mineral water are included.Is it for me?The 8-hour commitment means you're locked into the full day, but it's what makes both the river section and all three rappels possible without rushing either one. If you have only a morning or an afternoon free, look for a shorter activity instead.
Ushuaia: End of the World Train & Tierra del FuegoYou board at the southernmost train station in the world and ride for an hour through Tierra del Fuego's beech forest and river valleys, listening to a multilingual audio guide that explains the old prison route.

Hotel pickup is included; lunch at a Puerto Madero restaurant with views of the Woman's Bridge is optional at checkout.Is it for me?Book this if you want a guided half-day escape north of the city: you'll see San Isidro's center, then take a catamaran through the Delta's waterways, with the option to add lunch at the Woman's Bridge afterward.
End of the World Train & Tierra del Fuego Park Tour 5 hrsA 5-hour tour from Ushuaia combines a one-way ride on the End of the World Train with a guided walk through Tierra del Fuego National Park. The train passes the Pipo River, La Macarena waterfall and a tree cemetery before reaching the park station; a bilingual guide then leads you to Lapataia Bay, Laguna Verde and Acigami Lake, with a 30-minute walk subject to weather. Hotel pickup and return transfer are included; park entry requires cash.Is it for me?Book Tourist Class if you want the full experience at a lower price point, or Premium Class for more comfortable seating on the vintage train. Either way, the combination of the train ride and the park walk means you see both the inaccessible interior forest and the Beagle Channel coast in a single morning—two landscapes that require different access, both covered in one itinerary.
Iguazu Falls: FWD Jungle Ride & Rapids Boat TourYou ride a four-wheel-drive truck through jungle trails, descend a long staircase to the river, then board a semi-rigid boat that navigates 6 kilometers of the Iguazu River, including the final 2 kilometers of rapids that bring you to the base of the falls. Hotel pickup and a bilingual guide are included; the whole day takes about four to five hours from start to return.Is it for me?Book this if you want to experience Iguazu Falls from water level rather than from the overlooks — the rapids boat ride is what puts you close enough to feel the falls, and the FWD jungle drive gets you there without renting a car or arranging your own transport.

The guides and baqueanos handle the navigation and the stock; you handle the riding and the eight days of being in the high Andes.
