This 12‑day journey offers a vibrant blend of city life, natural wonder, and coastal glamour, showcasing three of South America’s most iconic destinations. Begin in Buenos Aires - Argentina’s sophisticated capital - then journey northwest to the thundering Iguazú Falls before flying on to the sun-drenched beaches and cultural vibrancy of Rio de Janeiro.

Amanda, Senior Latin America Specialist, says: “This trip captures South America’s incredible contrasts - tango, tropical jungle, and iconic coastline - in one seamless journey. It’s fast-paced but never rushed, and it gives couples, friends or families an immersive experience of two fascinating countries.”

You'll explore Buenos Aires’ elegant barrios, sample world-class cuisine and experience a passionate tango show.
