Buenos Aires & Iguazu Falls vacation, Argentina

Planet

As a local Argentina B Corp Travel Company, we hold a deep appreciation for the Earth's natural wonders and understand the importance of their preservation. However, we believe that sustainability alone is insufficient. Travel, in our view, is a potent instrument for creating a positive impact on the destinations we explore.

CARBON REDUCTION

-Reduction of Flying
This itinerary includes only one domestic round-trip flight (Buenos Aires–Puerto Iguazú–Buenos Aires). This flight is necessary because the overland journey takes more than 15 hours. All transfers within each destination are done by private or shared vehicles. We encourage minimizing unnecessary flights by grouping destinations within the same region, and travelers receive advice on how to combine routes efficiently to lower emissions.

-Shared and Human-Powered Transport
In Buenos Aires, travelers join shared group tours for city visits, optimizing fuel use and reducing emissions per person. In Iguazú, a half-day biking tour through the Yaguareté Trail promotes zero-emission exploration. This activity lasts approximately half a day and encourages direct contact with nature without using motorized transport.

-Vegetarian and Local Food Options
During the trip, travelers have access to vegetarian and vegan dishes in hotels and restaurants, especially during the tango dinner show and local dining experiences. We recommend local Argentine cuisine based on seasonal ingredients and regional products to reduce food transport emissions.


ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE

-Protected Areas and Nature Restoration
This trip directly contributes to the conservation of protected ecosystems by including entrance fees to Iguazú National Park (Argentina) and the Iguaçu National Park (Brazil), both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. These fees support maintenance, biodiversity monitoring, and restoration programs.

-Guided Nature and Wildlife Activities
In Iguazú, travelers are guided by local experts specialized in the region’s flora and fauna. The Yaguareté Trail biking tour emphasizes wildlife observation and environmental education, helping visitors learn about conservation challenges and the importance of preserving native species such as coatis, toucans, and monkeys.

-Accommodation Environmental Practices
Partner hotels in both destinations are evaluated for their sustainability efforts, including energy efficiency, waste management, and water-saving practices. Many have implemented recycling programs and reduced single-use plastics.
