31-Day Argentina + Bolivia Loop: Buenos Aires → Mendoza (luggage hub) → Salta → La Paz & Salar de Uyuni → Iguazú → El Calafate → Ushuaia → Buenos Aires
Settle with family; store any large luggage you want to leave in Mendoza. Options: family home, city luggage storage (bus terminal / MDZ storage), or hotel long‑term hold.
Option A: Drive north to Purmamarca, Tilcara and scenic Hill of Seven Colors (Quebrada) — long day ~10–12h. Option B: Head south to Cafayate for wineries and Quebrada de las Conchas (~10–12h). Book a private or shared shuttle.
Direct flights often available (~1.5–2h). This avoids long bus border crossing; prices vary—book early. Alternative: bus via Villazón is much longer (10–18h) but cheaper.
Use this day to buffer any flight delays from Uyuni, explore more of La Paz, or rest before international flights; good travel practice after remote tours.
Crossing into Brazil requires passport and possibly visa depending on nationality; Brazilian side offers panoramic views and helicopter rides (open hours typically 9:00–17:00).
Depart early for Perito Moreno (1.5h each way). Walk the viewing platforms and consider a boat ride to see the glacier face up close (park opens early; typical visits 8:00–18:00).
