Welcome to Buenos Aires…Lima…Rio de Janeiro…Cartagena…Havana…Marrakech…

So what do you have planned? 

It is no longer sufficient to book a general city tour and call it a day. Major destination cities have so much to offer – offbeat neighborhoods, music venues, museums, art galleries, outlying towns, shopping, locals-only spots. How can you make the most of a few days there? Want to get off the tourist trail and meet locals? After an orientation city tour the options depend on who you are and where your interests lie.  

To help give our clients a good headstart Lost World Adventures’ itineraries include links to menus of our day tours and trips for many of the destinations we offer.  You can then decide for yourself what to do on any given day.

In addition to the general city tour, themes can include history, architecture, local music, food and wine, markets, shopping. Active excursions can include hiking, biking, kayaking, horseback riding.

In Buenos Aires you may choose from more than 30 different tours and excursions, from Palermo walking tours to neighborhood biking tours, cooking classes and wine tastings, themed city tours (history, architecture, archaeology, literature, Evita Peron), tango (dinner shows, lessons, escorted visits to milongas), kayaking the Parana River delta, day trips to estancias and Colonia del Sacramento.
