Spending even 1 day in the Buenos Aires cruise port offers an unforgettable glimpse into the heart of Argentina and was the best way to start what was an epic month-long cruise for us.
The hop-on hop-off bus tour efficiently explores key highlights like Plaza de Mayo and Recoleta Cemetery, offering a surface-level view of Buenos Aires’ rich cultural heritage.
For those with more time, a food tour reveals Argentina’s culinary delights, from hearty sandwiches at Café Paulin to the sweet pastries of London City. These experiences, bustling markets, and historical landmarks offer a rich tapestry of Buenos Aires’ vibrant life.

There are many ways to visit Iguazu Falls, including group tours, self-guided tours, and private tours. If walking isn’t for you, the Rainforest Ecological Train, a narrow-gauge railway, takes you through the park all the way up to the famous Devil’s Throat Fall (la Garganta del Diablo). You could also arrange a helicopter ride to fly over the falls or set up a jungle safari.

You may be stopping in Lima, Peru, on your way to Aguas Calientes and the archaeological site of Machu Picchu, or as many travelers do, arriving on one of the many cruise ships that overnight in the port of Callao (Lima, Peru) each year.
