So ads in Argentina that are directed toward Argentines would not, I assume, apply to you.

However, why do a package tour versus picking the flights you want and choosing your own hotel?

Remember that going to the Brazil side officially requires a visa in advance, price about $150 plus any visa service fees, photos, mailing costs, etc.

ADDED: This could be a good use of airline miles or credit card points for the flights and hotel points for lodging. The good place to stay on the Argentina side is a Sheraton.
Thanks I have looked at this and am talking it over with Susan.

We return on Tuesday PM and I have four hours dialysis on Monday, but looking at things I might be able to swing it. We could do AEP - IGR 13:20 - 15:10, return IGR - AEP at 14:15-16:10, then hoof it over to EZE for 9 PM flight. Sheraton is 12k with breakfast and appears to be very close to the airport and the falls.
** BUT now I'm not seeing (BA) space on Monday, I might have looked at the wrong day. Looks like its not going to be an option unless we pay for a flight.
** BUT now see DL has space on Monday that might be an option on AR.
