Pre or Post Tour Options
A variety of optional 2-3 day tour programmes have been designed by the Congress Organisers to give participants further opportunities to explore Argentina, either prior to the Congress Tour or immediately after and will depart and return to the city of Buenos Aires. The four options are:
- EL CALAFATE – CITY OF THE GLACIERS – includes a full day tour to see Perito Moreno Glacier – the only one in Patagonia glacier basin that is not retreating, but staying in balance. Afterwards enjoy the Safari Nautico, a boat ride along Rico Lake towards the Perito Moreno Glacier’s wall.

Includes a full day tour to see the Argentinean side of the Falls, including a gas propelled train to the “Devil’s Throat”. A catwalk across several islands ends with a strategic lookout point over the Devil’s Throat.
