Highlights
Buenos Aires: Explore the capital’s political and cultural landmarks with your Travel Director. See Casa Rosada, where leaders including Eva Perón addressed the nation from its now-famous balcony, shaping the country’s political identity. Step inside the Metropolitan Cathedral, the former seat of Pope Francis during his time as Archbishop of Buenos Aires. In Plaza de Mayo, learn how this historic square has borne witness to Argentina’s most defining moments—from the revolution for independence to the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, who protested the disappearance of their children during the military dictatorship.
Iguazú Falls: Explore the upper and lower trails of Iguazú Falls, a UNESCO World Heritage Site set in the Atlantic rainforest. From multiple viewing platforms, see how the falls shape the surrounding ecosystem. At the Devil’s Throat, experience the most dramatic section, where half the river’s flow plunges into a deep, narrow gorge – a defining feature of this natural landmark.
Iguazú Falls: Walk a shorter but sweeping trail along the Brazilian side of the falls, where panoramic viewing platforms offer a full perspective of the entire cascade system. With your Local Expert, take in views across the Iguazú River to San Martin Island and the Argentinian falls beyond. This vantage point reveals the scale and structure of this natural wonder in one frame.
Rio de Janeiro: From colonial-era lanes to coastal viewpoints, join a Local Expert to discover the contrasts between Rio’s historic heart and its dazzling modern spirit.
Rio de Janeiro: Visit one of the New Seven Wonders of the World with your Local Expert. Standing 38 metres tall on Corcovado Mountain, Christ the Redeemer offers far-reaching views over Rio’s coastline and cityscape. Built between 1922 and 1931, the statue remains a powerful symbol of Brazil and a defining landmark in one of the world’s most iconic cities.

What's Included
Customer Reviews
It was good I would of like to visit some more churches but enjoyed what I saw
It was good to go to Buenos Aires first. Rio is so spectacular that seeing BA afterward would have been a disappointment. In Rio, the evening at the Roxy was so special that it should have been part of the included itinerary instead of a paid extra. Several of our group missed it and were upset when they found out from us how wonderful it is.
Activities were informative and enjoyable except for the dinner visit to to a local finca deep in a rural setting. While the dinner food and service were great, the transportation there as well as the “showcase” by indigenous family seemed less so.
I would add one additional day touring the city of Buenos Aires.
