À propos
Spanning from the tropics to the sub-Antarctic, Argentina is a country of diverse natural beauty, boasting the majestic Iguazu Falls in the north, and pristine Perito Moreno Glacier in Patagonia in the south.
With no shortage of vibrant cities, incredible national parks and UNESCO World Heritage Sites, not to mention a gorgeous coastline, this magnificent country is a nature lover and traveler's paradise!
This incredible 9-day itinerary brings you some of the greatest highlights of a land so beautiful, it is hard to describe. Our adventure takes us to the Iguazu Falls, which at 2800m wide is ranked the widest waterfall in the world, and designated as one of the "7 new natural wonders of the world."
We visit the unique valley glaciers of the Patagonian wilderness, which literally †˜crashes' into the turquoise waters of the Argentine great lakes, creating massive icebergs and a spectacle and thunder so loud, those fortunate enough to visit will be changed forever.
The sophisticated capital, Buenos Aires, known to many as the "Paris of South America†, believe it or not is a fusion of Italian, French, German, and English Sophistication in a Latin American Setting on the banks of the Rio de La Plata, which has the distinction of being by far the world's widest river!
All this and much more make for a unique experience that incorporates both natural wonders and vibrant cultural encounters in a way you will never forget.
Itinerary
Day 1: Buenos Aires
This bustling modern metropolis has a unique vibe that results from a combination of elements of New York, London, Frankfurt, and Venice, all in a Latin American Setting.
From the old, colorful soccer-famous barrio of Boca in the south, to the modern Puerto Madero Riverfront, and from the Jewish textile shops of Onse in the West, to the French Cafes and "Rodeo Drive† style "Avenida Alvear† of Recoleta in the North, this city has something for everyone.
Those arriving early enough will explore the downtown region on a half day tour where we will visit the famous Pink House and Plaza de Mayo. We will drive along Avenida de Julio - the world's widest urban thoroughfare with 16 lanes!
Time permitting, we will also visit some of the city's other highlights, such as the famous soccer district of La Boca, the flea markets of St Thelma, and the chic neighborhoods of Palermo Soho and/or Recoleta.
A fabulous dinner and welcome rest await us this evening after we check-in to our luxurious Hotel for the night.
Day 2: El Calafate
An early morning flight due south takes us to the quaint town of El Calafate, gateway to magnificent Icefields of Southern Patagonia.
The Andes Mountain Range divides this region in two, with Argentinean Patagonia falling mostly in the arid western steppes, until arriving at the regional center of El Calafate on the shores of Lago Argentino, where the dry terrain gives way to the forests of the Andes foothills and massive valley glaciers that slide down the slopes to enter the great lake.
We arrive late-afternoon at our lovely hotel for a light lunch, after which we visit the impressive Glacierium, a modern museum that showcases the science and geography behind glaciers in general and the valley glaciers of the region in particular.
Before dinner you will be able to enjoy a stroll down the quaint streets of Calafate and its incredible lake-side views.
Day 3: Perito Moreno Glacier
A magnificent drive along Lago Argentina and the nearby mountains takes us to the Southern side of the "Las Glaciares National Park†, and one of the world's most beautiful glaciers, the famous "Perito Moreno.†
Our first encounter with this wonder of nature will be by boat, which will enable us to get up close to the southern wall of this ice-beauty.
We spend the afternoon admiring the views of the Northern face of the glacier from the extensive walkways designed for this purpose, hoping to catch and even film a calving, which is a spectacular scene where large chunks of ice break off the glacier from the summer thaw and crash into the lake below, with a deafening thunder.
Day 4: Jewish Interest tour of Buenos Aires
We take a morning flight back to Buenos Aires for our Jewish Interest tour of the city.
Approximately 180,500 Jews live in Argentina, mostly in Buenos Aires as well as Cà³rdoba and Rosario.
On this tour, we visit the famous Jewish area of †˜Once' and some of its well known synagogues. Time-permitting, we will also visit the new world-class Holocaust Museum, which features descriptions of Jewish life in Argentina during the war and the sore issue of the harboring of Nazi war criminals. We also drive past the Amia memorial to Argentina's worst ever terror attack and learn about Iran's alleged role in it. We spend tonight in Buenos Aires at our deluxe hotel before the next exciting leg of our trip.
Day 5-6: Shabbat in the Jungle
On Friday morning we fly north to the sub-tropical jungles of Argentinean Mesopotamia, the land of great rivers and the world's largest waterfalls!
After checking in to our magnificent jungle lodge, we will have some time to enjoy the lovely grounds and prepare for an incredible Shabbos Programme of tefilla, song, and learning in the jungle.
Shabbat Shalom!
Day 7: Iguazu Falls
Today, we explore the falls from the Argentina side, enjoying the numerous trails in the National Park that reward us with sights and sounds about which most people have only dreamed.
A jungle train takes us to the beginning of the Upper Circuit, where about 1km of paths brings us to one of the most exquisite and panoramic viewing points of the Falls, the Devil's throat.
We then take a four-wheel jeep drive through the jungle on the constant look-out for toucans and other birds as we drive down to the river, where subject to river conditions, we board a speed-boat that will take us right up to the falls - prepare to get completely soaked!
After enjoying our packed lunch at one of the picnic sites, we continue with the open parts of the lower trail (part has been damaged by flooding) which takes us past spectacular viewing points that are closer to the falls than the upper circuit, and which offer views of the gorge and the islands.
A short walk or train ride takes us back to our vehicle and to our lodge, for a very well-deserved dinner and rest!
Day 8: Iguazi (part 2)
Spanning 2800m at the meeting point of Argentina, Brazil, and nearby Paraguay, the mighty "Iguazu River† plunges down to the thunderous roar of the power of water, and the spectacle is indescribable.
Today, we cross the border into Brazil, and view the falls from the Brazilian side of this massive river. Here, the views are incredibly unique, with the whole panorama of the falls being visible.
In truth, it is impossible to describe the splendor and uniqueness of both sides of these incredible wonders of nature. One keeps on thinking the view cannot get any better, and then it improves even more!
On the Brazilian side, we are also able to approach the falls by boat, while getting soaking wet from the spray and waves.

Our tour here would not be complete without a visit to the exotic bird park, home to one of the greatest collections of parrots and Toucans in the world, many of which are indigenous to the region, and some of which we hope to also see in the wild within the park.
This park is a world in its own right, and one can even have a photo taken with a real live Toucan!
Following a day of indescribable sights and sounds, we return to our hotel in Argentina for a delicious dinner, inspired by the largest waterfalls on this planet!
Day 9: Farewell
We take a morning flight back to Buenos Aires.
For those with enough time till their international flights home, enjoy some free time for shopping before heading to the international airport to return home, enriched with incredible memories of this gorgeous and fascinating land!

Notre fondateur
En 2001, le rabbin Yoni Isaacson a décidé de partager sa passion pour les voyages, la faune sauvage et la gastronomie...
…et heureusement qu’il l’a fait ! Armé de ses seules connaissances approfondies en géographie et en halakha, d’un goût prononcé pour la gastronomie et d’une grande confiance en lui, il a créé une petite entreprise qui est devenue l’une des agences de voyages casher de luxe les plus respectées au monde.

Vie religieuse & Shabbat
« Lorsqu’il n’est pas disponible, ou si cela est plus pratique d’un point de vue logistique, nous emmenons avec nous un mashgiach enregistré d’une autre autorité de cacheroute reconnue. »
Nos repas sont préparés sur place avec des produits frais, en présence d'un mashgiach à temps plein. Chez GKS, aucun plat préparé à l'avance n'est importé des villes, et le guide ou l'hôte ne cumule jamais les fonctions de mashgiach.
Toute la viande est considérée comme glatt par défaut, les produits de boulangerie frais sont pas Yisroel. Le lait ordinaire n'est utilisé que lorsque notre organisme de certification casher l'autorise, conformément à la décision du Rav Moshe Feinstein zt'l. Le Chalav Yisroel lechumra est disponible dans la plupart des établissements sur demande.
Bien que nous soyons soumis aux réglementations locales en matière d'importation et à la disponibilité des produits dans toutes les régions que nous visitons, nous ne ménageons aucun effort ni aucune dépense raisonnable pour nous procurer la grande variété de produits casher nécessaires à une expérience culinaire haut de gamme, notamment en important des viandes, des vins et des produits laitiers casher du pays le plus proche ou le plus approprié possédant une communauté juive dynamique.
Bien entendu, malgré tous nos efforts, lorsque des limitations inévitables existent, comme l'interdiction du bœuf en Inde et l'interdiction d'importer de la viande rouge crue aux Galapagos, nos menus sont adaptés en conséquence, et tout est mis en œuvre pour minimiser l'impact sur la variété et la qualité des plats que nous servons.
Lorsque les produits de boulangerie casher locaux de qualité ne sont pas disponibles, notre propre chef pâtissier prépare quotidiennement des pains et des pâtisseries frais.
Dans la mesure du possible, nous nous efforçons de proposer des déjeuners de qualité, quel que soit notre lieu de travail. Lorsque cela s'avère impossible, des paniers-repas sont fournis.
Par défaut, nos circuits incluent toutes les boissons aux repas, des vins locaux de qualité au dîner, ainsi que des collations et de l'eau en bouteille à la demande pendant les excursions.
