The Uruguay, Pantanal & the Falls tour starts in Buenos Aires and ends in Rio de Janeiro. The Uruguay, Pantanal & the Falls is a safari tour that takes 23 days taking you from Buenos Aires to Rio de Janeiro and through other destinations in South America.

There are two main features on this trip: the astounding Iguazú
Falls on the Argentine-Brazilian border, with its chain of 275 waterfalls
nearly 3km long and up to 82m high, and at which Eleanor Roosevelt is reported
to have said "Poor Niagara!" when she visited; and Brazil's Southern Pantanal,
which harbours the highest concentration of wildlife in South America. Here you
can see giant river otters, jaguars, caiman, parrots, toucans, howler monkeys,
and plenty more.

Throw in a 2-night stay in a traditional Uruguayan estancia where
we'll learn about the gaucho way of living, learning how to prepare typical local
food, and you have the makings of a great outdoors adventure.

Then we have two of South America's most iconic cities in
Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro, as well as the Uruguayan capital Montevideo
and Brazil's eco-tourism and adventure capital Bonito.

Local Payment The local payment is a group fund, paid separately from the trip price on the first day of the tour. It covers everything that the group does together on the ground. This is primarily hotel accommodation and campsite fees, meals whilst camping (but not while eating in restaurants), and included activities and puts money directly back to the local community. The local payment, or kitty system, is unique to overlanding tours and provides maximum flexibility and best value on the road - you can see exactly what is being paid for, you get everything at cost price, it keeps costs competitive by leveraging group expenses and saves on administrative costs. The fund is run by the tour guide, and any excess left over at the end is returned equally to the group. Local prices are estimated in USD when we print the brochure then reviewed monthly as local costs and exchange rates vary throughout the year. It's therefore important once you book your trip to check the website regularly and just before departure for any changes to the amount.
