Along the way pay a visit to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world, take in the cultural diversity and extremes of climate that spanning 7 countries will inevitably showcase and see both extremes of city immersion and real remoteness.

This was my 5th Contiki and it was another unforgettable experience. The trip manager () was excellent, a true expert in all things South American. My only constructive comment is linked to the number of days spent in Buenos Aires. The add ons and city were disappointing compared to the rest of the trip. I can't believe we spent so long there. I would have much rather spend more time in the Amazon or in Rio.

This is a excellent introductory tour of South America visiting 2 of the continent's most dynamic cities, (Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires) and one of the world's most incredible natural wonders, the Iguazu Falls. This is not a typical motor coach tour as it travels between locations using domestic airlines. All ground transportation to see the sites within the aforementioned cities and the falls was on large, comfortable coaches using different drivers for each location, all excellent. Everything went without a hitch thanks to our great tour director, Rodrigo. After this tour we want to explore South America more. Highly Recommended.

It not only covered the places that we always wanted to see as well as some that we had never heard of. We didn’t even know that the Iguazu Falls existed but we found them to be one of the most amazing places to visit.
