Hi everyone
My husband and I both have our 50th birthdays and 20th anniversary together next year and are planning a landmark trip. I’d love some feedback on it from those who’ve done similar before. We have three weeks. It’s from 20th March to 10th April.
We will fly from London to Ushuaia on a 28hr flight with a break in Madrid and another in Buenos Aires. Planning five nights in Ushuaia to recuperate from the journey, take a boat trip on the Beagle Channel, visit the Martial Glacier and a little hiking in Tierra del Fuego national park.
Then a flight with quite a long layover to Mendoza, first night in a hotel in town then two nights on a finca/estancia and a final two nights in town. Plan is to visit a few wineries, see the city and to relax a little, drink some wine and eat some steak.
From there, a quick flight to Buenos Aires. We have six nights (though we might spend one across the river in Colonia de Sacramento), so plan is to stay in Recoleta, spend some time exploring the city and hopefully a Huracan match at El Palacio.
After this, we’ll fly BA to Iguazu (Argentine side) then immediately take a taxi to the Brazilian side to stay near the airport. Three nights here to have a full day each for the Brazilian side and another for the Argentinian side. Flying home via São Paulo is loads easier and quicker and cheaper than staying on the Argentinian side of the border.
We are mid budget travellers and will pretty much be doing this one bag to avoid lengthy baggage pick up; will rent big coats in Ushuaia so we don’t have to cart them around the country. The additional cost of check in bags which I’ve learned to live without would add £500 to the cost of the tickets…. And looks like we can hire or buy and then thrift what we might need locally.
We love - in no particular order - wine and steak, football, big mountains, glacier views, wildlife and birdwatching, keen to get to see some tango, mostly quieter wilderness places but some city fine too. Does this sound like a reasonable plan? It takes account of travel time between places and the odd recovery day plus a day and a half of recovery from travel before getting back to work (only task will be to pick up dog from kennels 15 miles away).

Im looking at doing their Norwegian kayaking and hiking trip. I’m wondering how difficult the hike is? I am quite fit (I am a runner) but only go on a big hike maybe once a year (I’m not really living in a great location for hiking). The highest mountain I’ve done was ~1400 metres. I’m just worried that it’s for more advanced hikers. Would level 4, or even level 3 be too advanced for me?
If so, I’ll book a lesser level for now!
