A traditional Argentine picada follows, featuring provoleta, chorizo, black sausage roll, and smoked chicken. The centerpiece of the evening is a tenderloin steak served with seasonal vegetables. Dessert includes an alfajor making activity with dulce de leche and chocolate, and the night closes with a mate ceremony. The experience ends around 10:30 PM.

At 7:30 PM, you join the group for the interactive dinner. A cocktail session starts the night, allowing you to mix your own wine based drink with the help of the guides. Then you learn the repulgue technique while crafting your own empanada.

Our guide Walmuza was the best
"Our guide Walmuza was the best. She met us on arrival an the airport and from there she took us to our hotel, the falls on both the Argentina and Brazil sides and back to the airport. She helped us navigate the crowds. She was a wealth of information. She was always on time. Thank you Walmuza!

Iguazu - Thanks for the best experience of our trip
" We have returned from what turned out to be a wonderful vacation in and around South America. Perhaps the top highlight was the side trip to Iguazu Falls with expert help from Francisco at RipioTurismo. I cannot express adequately how pleased we were with the entire experience working with him. His prompt responses to our many questions (which is a very big thing), explanation of the details and coordination of logistics – from the door of our hotel in BA all the way back to that same door – was top notch and extremely professional.
Really special about the entire trip to Iguazu was our guide Eder Dorneles. As you know, even if all the logistics work, the performance of the guide can either enhance or spoil the entire project. Eder was loaded with interesting information about the Falls as well as both Argentina and Brazil. He was very personable, his English was exceptional (particularly for us older, hard of hearing folks!) and he seamlessly guided us through the logistics of getting into and out of Brazil as well as providing tips as we traversed both national parks. We could not have had a better guide.
We can honestly say that from our standpoint, it was a flawless confirmation of our decision to select RipioTurismo to make this adventure come true.

The tour was amazing
"The tour was amazing! From start to finish, everything was well organized including transportation, the tour guide and attractions. Everything went very well without any issues at all except the weather was not cooperative, otherwise it would be perfect. We were lucky to have Junior as our tour guide. He is very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. We highly recommend IguazuFall company to anyone who are interested to visit Iguazu Falls.
