This was an excellent tour. We a nice sampling of Argentina and Brazil in just two weeks. The countries are huge, so many weeks could be spent traveling to much of their sites and cities.

Embark on a continental odyssey with the "Grand South America" tour—a 20-day, moderately active journey through Colombia, Peru, Argentina, and Brazil. From the start in Cartagena’s coastal beauty and the lush Coffee Triangle to Bogota’s cosmopolitan pulse, this trip offers an immersive introduction to northern South America.
Fly to Peru for explorations in the Sacred Valley, a pilgrimage to Machu Picchu, and high-altitude adventures on Lake Titicaca. Continue to Lima before jetting to Argentina, where Buenos Aires’ tango rhythms and colorful barrios beckon. Marvel at the thunderous Iguaçu Falls—viewed from both Argentina and Brazil—before concluding in Rio de Janeiro, a city where colonial splendor meets modern marvels.
This tour package’s unique selling point is its multi-country scope, expertly blending iconic landmarks with local culture and scenery. With all-inclusive accommodations, meals, and transport, it’s the ultimate South American trip for experienced travelers seeking variety, depth, and adventure.

The team really put together a great itinerary that takes you to meet the natural beauty of Argentina. Our adventure through the Humahuaca Gorge was an absolute highlight. The stunning landscapes and vibrant colors of the mountains left me in awe. The serenity of the Andes, the crystal-clear mountain lakes, and the rugged terrain all combined to create a truly remarkable experience.
The Tango show and dinner experience was truly the cherry on top of our time in Buenos Aires. It was an emotional journey into the heart and soul of Argentina, a performance that left us spellbound and filled with appreciation for the country's culture.
I can't thank enough the team for the memories I've made.

I would definitely recommend taking the Jungle boat ride. If you don't like getting wet, then forget about it, because you will get trenched! They give each person a bag to keep your personal items dry, such as your cell phone & other valuables. In this regard, the bag is even big enough for some clothing, so you could wear a bathing suit & place the rest of your clothing inside the bag or bring a change of clothes. You could always wear a very lightweight rain coat, but you'll probably still get wet, just not as trenched. Personally, I found getting soaked was quite refreshing & even enhanced the experience. When i arrives to Iguazu the tour was fully booked, but thanks to Say Hueque they found a place for me before I left Iguazu. They have a great service, I highly recommend traveling with them.

I just returned from an incredible trip to Argentina and Brazil with Contiki, and I can’t recommend it enough! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, from the vibrant streets of Buenos Aires to the stunning landscapes of Rio de Janeiro. Every activity was amazing, whether we were exploring the iconic landmarks or enjoying exhilarating adventures.
The food was a highlight, with delicious local dishes that truly showcased the culture. The blend of rich traditions and friendly locals made the experience even more special. I made some great friends along the way, and our tour guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, and always ready to ensure we had the best time possible.
Overall, this trip was an unforgettable journey filled with adventure, culture, and great company. If you’re looking for a memorable travel experience, I highly recommend traveling with Contiki!
