It was a wonderful experience to be in Argentina and Brazil and the rainforest. I loved the restaurants where we dined and loved our small hotel and its location. Loved the gaucho experience and Iguazú Falls! Loved the samba show…fantastic! Great guides in Rio and Buenos Aires. Bird park was wonderful. Amazon was fabulous... rangers were excellent and very knowledgeable. Loved all of our experiences with them. Thank you so much.

I had a great time. My top memories include: the gaucho horse ride, the speed boat in the Iguazu Falls, the Samba show in Rio, swimming with the pink dolphin and all of the canoe rides. Thanks again S & S Travels!
- Diane from Colorado

Accommodations in Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls and Manaus were amazing and the food was outstanding!! Our toud leader was the best as she navigated the tour snafus and unexpectedly rainy weather with her usual composure, competence and humor. Loved Veronica in Buenos Aires, Fabi in Rio, and Ugo/Marcos on the Amazon. The tango and samba shows were excellent as was the wine tasting. Loved the hikes/walks at Iguazu Falls and all the excursions we took while on the Amazon cruise. Loved Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, the steps, etc. etc.
- Holly from Arizona

Argentina was fantastic - such a vibrant and exciting country! The food, the sights and the people are outstanding. Kerry is a great tour leader as she has a great sense of humour and she is patient, enthusiastic, and concerned about everyone. Thanks for another wonderful travel experience.
- Pam from Alberta

The sights were all equally fabulous. What I enjoyed the most were all the other people and how we all hit it off so fast & easily, the dinners and accommodations were fantastic. The trip seemed to be for the correct length of time. I would have liked some more free time for shopping, although I really did like the flexibility shown by Yolanta.
- Gayle from Hawaii

Kerry was a fantastic tour leader. She has a great problem solving ability (a record rainfall in Buenos Aires), great sense of humor and a positive attitude. I would love to travel with her again. - Arnetta from Florida

Loved it! It was a trip of a lifetime, and I’m so glad I decided to book with Sights and Soul. The places we visited and the people we met along the way in Argentina couldn’t have been better, and I enjoyed it all. Kerry was ever helpful, and we had plenty of issues (rain and delays), and she handled them all with class and great skill.
- Julia from California

This was my first time touring with S + S, and I was very impressed! More than I expected and I really enjoyed the company of the group.
- Jane from Florida

I confess, I wasn’t really all that excited about birds, and animals on the Amazon, but this trip was so much fun. It was so much more. I am really glad I took this tour. I love all my trips with Sights and Soul, but Brazil might have moved up to my favorite.
– Donna from Texas

The entire Amazon trip exceeded my expectations in every way. The boat, crew, food, accommodations, excursions were all fantastic! The guides made everything interesting, but I loved the night excursions and stories about local legends best of all. It was an amazing trip.
- Heather from North Carolina

It was a great trip, absolutely fabulous. Lots of wonderful memories. See you on another continent one day.
- Kate from Ontario

It was a wonderful experience. The Rivers, rainforest, cruise, food, excursions were fantastic and I will recommend the trip to my friends. We did have a great group, and I appreciate everyone and admire their passion to travel.
- Janice from Hawaii

Thank you for a perfect tour! I wouldn't have changed a thing. Excellent company, crew, guides, food, excursions and sights!
- Bonnie from British Columbia

Thanks Yolanta for a wonderful experience. I haven't been able to get much done at work yet as I wax poetic and awestruck each time a co-worker asks me about my trip!
- Heather from Ontario

The trip was amazing. Thank you for creating a great trip on a wonderful boat with such nice staff & informative guides. This is definitely a trip to fondly remember... the birds, more birds, even more birds, actually see sloths moving, taxi ride on a motorcycle, rivers of 2 different colors, rubber dripping from a cut in a tree, the town & the village & the kids. Just so many wonderful moments.
- Joyce from Massachusetts

I have taken 3 trips with Sights and Soul and each one was unique, great fun and very well organized. I'm very picky and this company exceeds my expectations! I plan to travel on even more tours with Yolanta!

What the Media Says About Us

The Future of Women Travel: More Adventure, Less Shopping
"When I told people I was going to the Amazon, their jaws dropped," says Joswick. "I think this is because we tend to think of it as a dangerous, difficult and uncomfortable place: heat, bugs, snakes, wild animals, piranhas, you name it. "But going the way we did, on a comfortable boat, with excellent guides, I never felt I was in danger. The heat was bearable, and I never even saw a mosquito!" In the past most Sights and Soul tour destinations have been in Europe, with a focus on cultural landmarks. For the Amazon tour, Barnes had to switch gears: "We replaced cathedrals, art, gourmet restaurants and spas with the stillness of the Rio Negro, the floating meadows of the Amazon, the monkeys, cayman and sloths.

A Women's Trip to Argentina: Buenos Aires and Iguazu Falls
South America is becoming one of the most popular destinations for travelers who have already been to Europe and other places and are looking for something more exciting, and different. Sights and Soul Travels offers a twist–their Argentina tour is for women only! We spoke to some of the women who have gone on Sights and Soul’s trips to this destination to get their thoughts on the journey. The trip, offered again this year from November 2-8, 2014, begins in Buenos Aires for four nights at a 4-star boutique hotel in the city’s Recoleta neighborhood, in the heart of this thriving metropolis.
