Brazil & Argentina – Icons of South America
11 Days | Rio, Iguazú Falls & the irresistible rhythm of Buenos Aires

Why I Chose This for You
What I love most about this journey is that it gives you choice. You can experience three of South America’s great icons in one beautifully balanced trip and come home feeling that you’ve truly seen something special.
Or you can decide that, while you’re there, you want to dream a little bigger.
Add the vineyards and colonial charm of Uruguay. Head south into the wild landscapes of Patagonia and Chile. Continue into Peru for Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley. Or venture all the way into the Amazon rainforest.
There isn't one right version. There's simply the version that feels right for you.
Choose how big you want your dream to be.
About this Trip
Some journeys are memorable because of one extraordinary place. This one gives you several.
From the unmistakable skyline of Rio de Janeiro to the thunderous power of Iguazú Falls and the rhythm and elegance of Buenos Aires, this journey brings together three of South America’s greatest icons in one unforgettable adventure.
Begin amongst Rio's mountains and golden beaches, experience Iguazú Falls from both Brazil and Argentina, then finish amongst the grand boulevards, café culture and tango rhythms of Buenos Aires.
And if eleven days simply aren't enough? This Dream Trip can grow with you, with longer adventures continuing into Uruguay, Patagonia and Chile, Peru, or even deep into the Amazon.
