Itinerary
Day 1 Buenos Aires
South America’s most cosmopolitan city will spread out like a treasure box waiting to be opened as you descend on Buenos Aires. But tonight, you'll meet your fellow travellers before heading to a tango show. Have a go yourself, enjoy the first of the Argentine food you're sure to love, and then watch the pros show you how it's done.
Day 2 Buenos Aires
Today you've got the opportunity to take a day trip to a whole different country: Uruguay! If you're down, you’ll head to the historic city of Colonia by boat, where you'll explore the cute cobbled streets and dreamy pastel coloured houses with a locally guided tour. If you'd prefer to stay the other side of the border, Buenos Aires is yours to explore today.
Day 3 Buenos Aires
Now's your opportunity to get the full Porteno (locals from Buenos Aires) experience. This morning why not go check out the colourful La Boca neighbourhood? Then, as the balmy afternoon draws in, get involved in an optional Argentine Food Experience.
Day 4 Buenos Aires
Another free day full of exciting options! Join in a day at the Polo where you'll learn about the traditional Argentine game, how to play and even partake in a game of your own. If you're more comfortable out on the water, opt to experience the Tigre Delta for the day on a relaxing boat ride, or if you want to stay on dry land enjoy a short bike ride around the surrounding areas.
Day 5 Buenos Aires to Iguassu Falls
After your included flight to Iguazu, hop over the border and dig your toes into Brazilian soil for the first time, and clapping eyes on yet another astounding natural wonder. A collection of 275 individual waterfalls, Iguassu Falls sprawls both Brazil and Argentina, with both sides offering up stunning UNESCO World Heritage parks and views. Today though, is all about the Brazilian side, and what better way to see the falls from every angle than with an optional helicopter ride, taking the term ‘birds eye view’ to a whole new level.
Day 6 Iguassu Falls
Today you’re hopping back over to Argentina to see what the deal is from this side of the falls. Take a hike to the very edge of Devil’s Throat, the highest of the 275 falls, and for those keen there’s even the option to take to the water with a speed boat ride through the spray of the falls. Tonight, dinner is packing a serious punch with an authentic Brazilian Barbecue.
Day 7 Iguassu Falls to Rio de Janeiro
Welcome to Rio! After a quick orientation tour, the afternoon is then yours to explore as you please, though given our hotel's beachfront location, you'll be forgiven for only have one thing on your mind.
Day 8 Rio de Janeiro
Today check out the city from above, hang gliding to see Rio in all its scenic glory. This afternoon is all yours – maybe Copacabana Beach is calling your name? Or if a game's in town watch the masters of football do it like no one else can, while you soak in the crazy atmosphere that goes alongside the national sport.
Day 9 Rio de Janeiro
First up on your last day is a visit to Christ the Redeemer, a New Wonder of the World. Standing at an impressive 30m high, this religious monument casts an almighty shadow over the city below and will be a moment you won't be forgetting anytime soon. This afternoon, how does a boat cruise sound?
Day 10 Rio de Janeiro
Your adventure ends this morning; depart at any time.
