I would really recommend this trip because Buenos Aires, Iguazu, and Rio are amazing places, it’s kind of impossible not to love the trip because the destinations were so great. In Buenos Aires, the activities like walking tour and tango show were amazing! And the add on of the food experience is a must! Based on my and others experience, skip the two expensive day trips, you can find amazing things to do on your own in the city. Iguazu was stunning and the jet boat is a must. Rio was lots of fun as well. The included activities were great to see iconic spots in Brazil and really interesting to visit the favela. The included boat trip was one of the best parts of the trip!
With that being said there were small things that were less appreciated that could have made the trip better. First, the plan for the day was not always clear so there was some confusion with that. One of the activities, the walking tour in Brazil, was included but was actually just never done. There were flights involved on this trip so it was common to wake up early, go to the airport, get off a flight and go straight to an activity without stopping at a hotel first to freshen up or get ready for the day, so very go, go, go. Also it was common to go somewhere like sugarloaf and be told: ok you have ten minutes to see everything, but it’s such a beautiful place that you would have liked to stay longer especially considering the price you pay. And with that being said, the add ons for this trip were very pricey. And lastly, the time in Rio was way too short. Make sure to book extra time on your own when your trip ends (or Contiki extend the trip to 12-14 days!).
Overall had a great time and would recommend to others :)

The booking porocess was easy, and customer service was responsive. I contacted 4 companies about the tour I was interested in. Two of the companies I contacted didn't answer me at all. One of them was basically a chatbot that said "do it yourself." Only bookmundi had human agents to help.

The trip overall was really fun. The included Activities were fine but to get the most out of the trip you need to pay for most of the optionals. The Argentina part of the trip was less exciting especially because the optionals are mainly going to other cities but there are things to do in Argentina to keep yourself entertained. The Igassu and Rio part of the trip were amazing and so much fun so I wish that part of the trip was longer. The accommodation was good- nothing spectacular but generally clean and in nice areas! Our trip manager Abel was the best and really went above and beyond to make our trip amazing!
