The Best Machu Picchu Iguazu Falls Tours

By Linda Ruiz


The natural beauty of South America along with its numerous archaeological mysteries are the main reasons people choose to go on trips to the region. Peru and Argentina are two of the most popular tourist destinations because they have some of the most awe inspiring sites in the world. Now it is easy to find Machu Picchu Iguazu Falls tours to take in the best in one easy trip.

The lost civilisations of South America have been fascinating us for decades. The Inca empire was one of the most impressive the world has seen. They were highly skilled engineers who built incredible buildings and waterways through some of the toughest terrain. Machu Picchu is considered the best of the Inca sites and is a very popular destination these days.

Peru is one of the most interesting countries in the world with an incredible variety of wildlife and cultural activities. A trip to Machu Picchu starts off from the old Inca capital city, Cusco. It is high in the Andes mountains and a beguiling mixture of the old & new. Indigenous culture is still everywhere along with modern hotels and restaurants.

Aguas Calientes is the town closest to the Machu Picchu. It has a tropical feel as the area is in the high jungle. Tours can either visit for the day or stay in the town and enjoy the hummingbirds, orchids and the hot springs.

Argentina is more modern than Peru. It's population is highly concentrated in the European style capital, Buenos Aires. The city has much to offer and is the home of the famous dance, the Argentine tango. Some of the original tango clubs are still open for business so you can watch a show or even have lessons in this unique dance style.

Iguazu Falls is the highlight of a trip to Argentina. There are around two hundred and seventy waterfalls in one place ranging from the small to the thundering Devil's Throat. Walkways are positioned in and around the falls so that visitors can easily walk around to view them all. There are also trails through the surrounding forest to see the many types of flora and fauna. You can also cross the border into Brazil to view the falls from the other side of the river. Many people do this as it gives a panoramic view of the whole area.

Travelling in South America is quite different from a trip in Europe or the United States as the infrastructure and bureaucracy can be challenging. Taking an organised tour is the most convenient way to enjoy everything. A tour agency can provide the correct information, paperwork and of course a knowledgeable local guide. Despite the large numbers of foreign visitors most people do not speak English so a Spanish speaking guide can make a huge difference to the experience.

Taking a tour in Latin America is a great way to get the best from a trip. Spanish is the local language and many people do not speak English so having a local guide will prove invaluable. Local knowledge and expertise mean that you will get to see they best of everything and the guide can also help you to see the things which particularly interest you.
