Notes
Argentina Discovery holds the right of changing the itinerary or to cancel any of the activities when any natural cause (or any other cause of any type) justifies it in order to look after the group safety.
The falls are not always visible and depend on the volume of the river’s water. With the low flood, they are magnificent but with the swollen they simply disappear. In that case, we will offer the traveler an alternative activity.
