Top Argentina Zoos & Wildlife Parks

The Teatro Colón is the leading opera house in Buenos Aires, as well as an architectural landmark, known for its remarkably restored 19th-century interiors. On this tour, explore inside the legendary theater; see the magnificent Golden Hall, the Gallery of Busts, and the Main Foyer; and hear how iconic singers such as Maria Callas, Plácido Domingo, and Luciano Pavarotti have performed on its stage.

Ride alongside the Rio Mendoza during a 1.5-hour tour on horseback. This midday excursion gives you a glimpse of southern Maipu you might otherwise miss, including rolling vineyards, olive groves, and leafy country lanes. Follow up with a gourmet “asado” (Argentine barbecue) at Divina Marga restaurant and wine cellar. Passengers are limited to eight to ensure a small-group experience, including the convenience of minivan transport from your hotel.

Visit Buenos Aires' nearby Temaiken Zoo during this full-day trip. Enjoy learning about animals from all over the world, walking among them and even feeding some of them with your family. Learn about the animals' native habitats and conservation status from your guide while you travel through the zoo's different zones, including South America, Asia and Africa.

Get more out of your time in Mendoza by setting off on a horseback riding adventure near the Andes Mountains. Opting for a horseback riding tour allows you to cover more ground than a hiking tour and explore mountainous off-road trails with ease. During the tour, stay energized with a range of tasty treats—including pastries, an “asado” barbecue, dessert, and local wine.

Explore Iguazu Falls Parque das Aves (Bird Park) on this half-day tour from Foz do Iguaçu. Walk thorough the 12 acres (4.8 hectares) of subtropical forest to see several native species of birds in their natural habitat. Listen for bird calls, the flash of brightly-colored wings, and have your camera at the ready. This park is a refuge and sanctuary for many bird species, including macaws, golden parakeets, harpy eagles, and toucans. Displays also include other animal life such as reptiles, snakes, and tarantulas. Round-trip transportation from Foz do Iguaçu and Puerto Iguazu hotels is included.
