FAQs

expand_more

Fitness/ A​ccessibility: Touring in Argentina does not involve a considerable amount of walking , but guests who depend on wheelchairs for mobility or who require assistance walking, will find it difficult to participate in some sightseeing. The Argentinean side of the Falls is accessible; the Brazilian side is not. There are no lift-equipped motorcoaches available and hotels do not have wheelchair accessible rooms. It's imperative that you bring your own collapsible wheelchair if needed.

An experienced and knowledgeable tour director will accompany you on your travels, taking care of all the details. Included meals will be noted on your itinerary. The tour directors will do their utmost to accommodate individual preferences within the pre-reserved times. Unless otherwise stated, he or she accompanies you throughout your land travels, but does not accompany you on any flight between the cruise and tour, or on your Princess cruise. Local guides are used as well for their unique perspective and experience in their areas of expertise.

While in South America, exercise the same common sense you would in any large city or unfamiliar place. Carry only small amounts of cash, and keep it in several locations. We recommend that you leave your valuable jewelry, keys and address books at home. Take the necessary safeguards against petty street crime, as it is not uncommon in tourist areas. Essentials like your passport, credit and ATM cards, cash, and travel documents should be kept in a money belt and in your possession at all times or in the hotel safe.

Suggested Flight Arrival Time: Flights become available to be booked 300 days prior to departure. Travel at 60 can assist you with booking flights. Please call us on 1300 414 198 for more information.

Tipping: The customary end-of-tour gratuities to your tour director and motorcoach driver are not included, as they are at your discretion. Gratuities are a personal matter and an expression of appreciation for genuine, personal service provided by knowledgeable and creative professionals.
