Customize your trip

With our True Choice Program, you can choose to stay longer before or after your trip on your own, or combine two adventures to maximize your value. Here are more ways to create the OAT adventure that’s right for you:

  • Choose our standard air routing, or work with us to select the airline and routing you prefer
  • Make your own international flight arrangements directly with the airline, applying frequent flyer miles if available
  • Stay overnight in a connecting city before or after your trip
  • Request to arrive a few days early to get a fresh start on your adventure
  • Choose to “break away” before or after your trip, spending additional days or weeks on your own
  • Extend your adventure with our optional pre- and post-trip extensions
  • Combine your choice of OAT adventures to maximize your value
  • Upgrade to business or premium economy class

The air options listed above will involve an additional fee of $100 per person for confirmed requests (as well as incremental airfare costs based on your specific choice). This service fee will be waived for Inner Circle/Sir Edmund Hillary Club members.

Or, when you make your reservation, you can choose our standard air routing, for which approximate travel times are shown below.

Post-Trip: Iguassu Falls, Argentina & Brazil


3 nights from only $995

It’s easy to add thundering Iguassu Falls—twice as wide as and 65 feet higher than Niagara Falls—to your explorations of the Southern Hemisphere’s natural wonders. On this extension, we’ll visit both the Argentinean and Brazilian sides of this astonishing array of 275 separate cascades and waterfalls. Enjoy spending time in this lush tropical environment as a vivid contrast to your Antarctic adventure.

Single Supplement: FREE.

  • 5 meals—3 breakfasts, 1 lunch, and 1 dinner
  • 2 small group activities
  • Continued Services of an OAT resident Trip Leader

Day 1
Ushuaia/Fly to Buenos Aires

In the afternoon, your Trip Leader accompanies you on a flight from Ushuaia to Buenos Aires, where you arrive in the early evening. Transfer to your hotel; dinner is on your own.

Day 2
Fly to Iguassu Falls/Guided tour of Iguassu Falls, Brazilian side

After breakfast, fly to Iguassu Falls. This afternoon we enjoy breathtaking views of the falls from the Brazilian side. A stone path leads to several platforms with fine views from different angles. You get close enough to the thundering torrents to feel the spray, and you may glimpse the park’s resident coatis (raccoon-like animals.) Enjoy an included dinner at our hotel this evening.

Day 3
Guided visit to Iguassu Falls from Argentinean side/Optional Great Adventure tour

Today we witness sweeping views at the Argentinean side of the falls. Here, the falls can be approached, viewed, felt, and experienced from a number of angles. Along the Garganta del Diablo (Devil’s Throat) walk, the water plunges 240 feet into a roiling cauldron. With the spray flying up to 50 feet above your head and rainbows dancing in it, the view here can only be described as breathtaking.

Then, after an included lunch, you may enjoy an afternoon at leisure or join an optional Great Adventure tour. On this optional tour, we’ll discover both the lush vegetation and the rushing waterfalls of Iguassu National Park from multiple perspectives, beginning with a panoramic ride along the Sendero Yacaratía trail that winds through the verdant jungle to the riverside.

Day 4
Iguassu Falls/Transfer to Buenos Aires/Return Home

Spend the morning at leisure. This afternoon, we fly to Buenos Aires to board an overnight flight back to the U.S.

Day 5
Arrive in the U.S.
