OverNight:Iguazu Falls (Argentina)

day 29 - Iguazu to Sao Paulo

Iguazu Falls - Sao Paulo (Brazil). We've got one final country to discover on our adventure - Brazil! Crossing the border, we explore the Brazilian side of Iguazu National Park, hike the Cataratas Trail (Trilha das Cataratas), and take in the stunning views from the Garganta do Diabo viewpoint. We then make our way to the airport for the short flight to Sao Paulo.

On arrival, there's free time to freshen up before we head out to Vila Madalena, an area of Sao Paulo renowned for its street art (especially the Beco de Batman) and nightlife.

day 30 - Sao Paulo Sightseeing

Today we're exploring this Brazilian city on a guided tour. Stroll along Avenida Paulista, where street performers, street art and pop up markets and stalls collide. Later, we explore the city's historic centre, taking in landmarks such as the Se Cathedral and the Monastery of Sao Bento. We'll also climb to the observation deck of the Edifício Itália tower, from where you can enjoy incredible views of the city as the sun sets. If you're looking for a night out tonight, we recommend Rua Augusta.

day 31 - Sao Paulo to Rio

Sao Paulo - Rio de Janeiro. It's about a six hour journey by bus from Sao Paulo to Rio de Janeiro today. On arrival, you've got a bit of free time to head out to Copacabana Beach for some sunbathing, before we enjoy an included beach volleyball class.

Later, head out to the city's Ipanema District, where you can gorge on ‘churrasco’, traditional Brazilian barbecued meat and vegetable skewers, grilled over open flames.

day 32 - Rio de Janeiro Sightseeing

We already ticked off Machu Picchu, and we're visiting another of the New Seven Wonders of the World today - Christ the Redeemer. We'll make an early start to beat the crowds, before stopping at a local cafe to enjoy a traditional Brazilian breakfast and coffee.

Next, we'll ride the cable car to the summit of Sugarloaf Mountain, an iconic granite peak where you can enjoy panoramic views of the city.

It's the final night of our tour, and where better to spend it than at a beach-side bar, with dinner and a few cocktails, and maybe a night out at a local samba club.
