Don Silvano Ranch review: horseback riding, asado, gaucho shows, mate, transport, costs, drawbacks, and practical booking advice from Buenos Aires.
“A soul destroying experience!!! This was not a trip to anything resembling a gaucho ranch. It was a hotel with grounds, some chickens, peacocks and 20 or so horses. And the experience was commercial garbage for the most part. You arrive at the ranch and are given a ticket if you want to 'ride' the horses. For the next 2 1/2 hours there is nothing organised except for some mediocre empanadas and drinks and a 15 minute walk on horses that are so sedate we wondered if they might be drugged. The signs said trotting was forbidden, but they needn't have bothered as the poor creatures barely wanted to walk.…”

“Weather was nasty but still worth doing. Problem I had was falling at the zoo and was unable to walk as much as normal our guide said if we went back to the ferry building we could change our ticket back to an earlier return time. That was not honored.”
See Iguazu Falls from Buenos Aires in one intense day, with flights, park tickets, private transport, and an English-speaking guide included.
“The trip to Iguazu Falls was the big extravaganza at the end of a month long trip in South America. It lived up to the billing. Our guide was very knowledgable and nice. We were able to see everything at our own pace. She made sure that we explored certain areas of the first so that we minimized the impact of the crowds,. It was a wonderful day. The only improvement is that the instructions in my voucher from Viator did not tell us to check in for our flight to Iguazu and that a representative would meet us only once we arrived in Iguazu. We were dripped off at…”
Review of a $248 Colonia del Sacramento day trip from Buenos Aires, with ferry tickets, hotel transfers, local guides, free time, and practical tips.
“We arrived late (ferry delayed) - tour guide was waiting for us when we walked out of terminal. We then walked a few blocks and she gave us tons of background on the history of Uruguay (we knew nothing, so it was interesting) and we all (four of us) walked through old town. She gave us some great recommendations for lunch during our free time (we went to Bohemia. Fabulous) as well as shopping / sightseeing ideas. I bought some really cute clothes at Tranquera (and you can get VAT back at ferry station before you go through security). Also other good shopping for souvenirs, etc. You can use credit…”

Review of the private Iguazu Falls day trip from Buenos Aires, including flights, park trails, private guides, costs, timing, and practical tips.
“The tour was amazing. I had some difficulty checking with the airline. Otherwise, the day went smoothly. The views were beyond beautiful and I will remember the day for a lifetime. My guide was experienced and knowledgeable. She shared many details on the wildlife, foliage, history, and people. By having a personal guide, I could go through the park at a comfortable pace, not worrying about holding others up if I wanted to take a break. The airfare made the trip pricey, but it was worth it.”
Review of a private Iguazu Falls day trip from Buenos Aires with flights, guides, park access, practical tips, costs, and cancellation advice.
“This tour was booked through Viator with Buenos Aires Tour Guides. We had to cancel because the cruise we were booked on cancelled all Argentina ports because of Covid. This tour cost $2100 for 3 people. Buenos Aires tour guides refused to give us back ANY of our money no matter what the reason for the cancellation. I urge everyone to avoid doing any business with these people. Most companies are willing to "do the right thing" during this pandemic. This is not the case with Buenos Aires tour guides.”
Review of a private Buenos Aires to Iguazu Falls day trip with airfare, guides, park trains, Devil’s Throat, transfers, costs, and practical tips.
“We loved our tour guide Ana and Iguazu Falls, but had problems with the delayed flight of Jetsmart airline! The flight was delayed 3.5 hours- cutting our time in the park in half. So the only thing we got to see was garganta de diablo part of the falls which was great. I would suggest if at all possible to go for st least one night stay!”
Spend a full day at Estancia Don Silvano with horseback riding, gaucho shows, Argentine barbecue, wine, dancing, and mate.
“Bellissima esperienza sotto ogni punto di vista. Posto meraviglioso, attività (come il giro in carrozza, lo spettacolo di tango e dei cavalli) spettacolari e cibo fantastico. Inoltre, l autista Miguel è stato puntuale e gentilissimo, dato che mi ha riaccompagnato a casa, nonostante non fosse compreso nel pacchetto.”
Every kind of Argentine day, and the best of each.
