And 2 days should be enough for Iguazu. If price is a major issue you can take the overnight bus to Iguazu, fairly cheap. Booking the Cama Suite is much like business class on an airline, lie flat bed, food etc. Here is a link showing the various companies and prices that serve that route

You can fly as well, Aerolineas Argentinas or LAN has many flights each day to choose from.

Thanks for the input. 17 hours one way B.A. to Iguassu on a bus, even a well appointed bus, gives me pause for thought. It would be an bit of an adventure and a way to see the countryside but roundtrip would make it at least a 4 day sidetrip, which may mean not seeing/doing something else. The domestic LAN roundtrip fare, OTOH, would be much quicker but at CAD$600 RT much more expensive. Maybe the bus OW and the flight back is the answer.
I hear the recommendations about seeing other Argentinian cities and I appreciate them but that's partly why MVD came up as a possability, its proximity to B.A. Like Iguassu, getting to/from either Mendoza or Bariloche would eat into my holiday time. At around a 2 week holiday is doing B.A. and Iguassu and Mendoza, for example, too crowded?
As I said I'm just planning now and will definately weigh the input.
