I was trying to plan an Iguazu trip myself but it appears impossible to get a return airfare from Buenos Aires for less than $250-$300 unless you're a resident of Argentina. I know that I have read about many a person getting these flights for so cheap (under $100), but I am not successful. However, the package deals I am being quoted are in the $300-$400 range for 4 nights hotel w/airfare. So it seems like a package is the best bet.
Roger, I am dealing with Felix @ Mendi Tours [email protected] who has been very responsive via email. I don't know about his English abilities but will guess that he or someone else is probably fluent.

Now I have two more questions:
- can somebody recommend an AR travel agent who can sell us a tour of 10 days or so excluding BA - this would need to include Iguazu and Ushuaia and possibly more, flights(?) and transfers? Mi espanol es muy mal.

For those who are interested in having a good travel agent in Buenos Aires I can recommend Gustavo from Clover Tours that has been working with me and it's a very good travel agent and speaks english fluently.

Found this thread - shame the early one got corrupted!
Reconquista Plaza is booked out Jan 5/6, so I will need to find another similar deal - Suites for $40-$60 a night with breakfast for two are tough to find.
