Brazil and Argentina Discovered
12 days - from $4185
Two weeks, two world-class cities, and a whole host of fantastic experiences in between
Buenos Aires is South America's liveliest and most cosmopolitan city, and we dive right into the city’s most memorable moments, including chic Palermo, the grand palaces of Plaza de Mayo and bubbling La Boca. At Iguazu Falls we witness the grand cataract’s mighty power on an adventurous boat trip to the thunderous base of the cascades. Further north we explore the Atlantic rainforest on foot and onboard Brazil's oldest train, the Serra Verde Express. And from there it’s off to the beautiful beaches of Honey Island before hitting Rio de Janeiro, with its sweeping sands, non-stop nightlife and matchlessly spectacular setting. We take in Sugarloaf Mountain and Christ the Redeemer, as well as having plenty of free time to soak up Rio’s unique vibe.
