Epic Argentina and Brazil Adventure

An epic Argentina and Brazil adventure taking in enigmatic cities, tropical beaches, UNESCO's Iguazú Falls and more, including breakfast, all travel and excursions

Who said you had to choose between nature and culture? This Argentinian and Brazilian adventure encompasses a generous helping of both, from city-slicking in Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro to golden beach life in Búzios, and witnessing the UNESCO-protected Iguazú Falls.

It all starts amidst the charisma of Buenos Aires – the birthplace of the passionate Tango – where an included city tour will see you visiting colourful La Boca, the majestic architecture of La Recoleta, the historic old town and the markets of San Telmo. With some time at leisure here, too, why not discover the hip dining spots of upscale Palermo, before moving on to your next destination.

Iguazú is up next, where you’ll visit the Argentinian side of Iguazú Falls, following 800 metres of suspended walkways to watch the water thundering down the heartstopping 80-metre drop from an incredible vantage point. You can opt to take a boat under the water to get even closer, or go wild for Iguazu Great Adventure, which will see you enter the jungle, sail upon rapids, observe the Devil’s Throat and admire the incomparable San Martín waterfall. The following day, you’ll venture to the Brazilian border for an alternative – but equally as awesome – experience of the Falls.

Next, you’ll travel to Rio de Janeiro where plenty of sightseeing awaits. Take a trip to the top of the Corcovado to see the famous Christ the Redeemer overlooking the city. Then descend from the lush hills – why not visit Maracanã football stadium and the Sambódromo, where the world-famous Rio Carnival takes place each year. You’ll have some time to wander at your own pace too – relax on the shores of iconic Ipanema, Copacabana and upmarket Leblon, before enjoying a caipirinha with a sunset view at one of the trendy rooftop bars.
