Brazil & Argentina: from Rio de Janeiro to Buenos Aires

Welcome to Rio! Upon arrival at the airport, your personal driver will greet you and escort you to your hotel. Spend the rest of the day at leisure to recover from jet lag.

Today, enjoy a private transfer to the iconic Sugar Loaf Mountain. Two section cable cars will first take you to Urca Hill and then continue to the top of Sugar Loaf, which offers a 360-degree view of the downtown, Guanabara Bay, clean beaches as well the towering statue of Christ. Later, descend the mountain and drive along the scenic Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon to reach the foot of Corcovado Hill. Take a small train up to the top where Christ Redeemer stands. Here, you can get another perspective of the Sugar Loaf Mountain and Rio.

Free day at leisure.

You may stroll among the old Portuguese buildings, or immerse yourself into the passion and vitality of the city at the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema. Anyway, enjoy the charm of the city and the integrated natural scenery of mountains and seas.

Spend some time on your own until your driver escorts you to the airport for your flight to Foz de Iguacu. After arrival, a private transfer will send you to your hotel.

After breakfast, set off for the Iguacu National Park to marvel at the Iguacu Falls. Though most of its falls are on the Argentine side, the scene observed from the Brazilian side is more spectacular. You can enjoy a different view of the falls from the canyon and the upper deck. Later, join in Macuco Safari to get as close as possible to the waterfalls, and feel the force of the natures and its magic. First, take an open wagon through the forest and subtropical vegetation with a specialized guide, then ride a motorboat to the falls, where you can hear the thunderous roar and get wet from the mist of the falls.

Today, you will see the Iguacu Falls from the Argentinean side. Cross Tancredo Neves Bridge over the Iguazu River to reach Iguazu National Park. A jungle train trip will show you the highlights including two stops on the trail to the upper walkways and the suspended platform to view Devil's Throat, which is the tallest of these waterfalls and described as "sea poured into the abyss". Later in the afternoon, fly to Buenos Aires. Be greeted and transferred to your hotel.

Have a city tour of Buenos Aires, which is known as the "Paris of South America". During the trip, you will drive along the roads of 9 de Julio Avenue, Avenida de Mayo and Avenida Corrientes, pass by Colón Theater, the Obelisk, Parque Lezama, Tres de Febrero, boca's football stadium of La Bombonera, commercial and financial areas, and visit Plaza de Mayo, Plaza del Congreso, Plaza San Martin, Avenida Alvear, neighborhoods filled with colors and history such as La Boca and San Telmo, etc. In the evening, enjoy an Argentine tango show with dinner.

A day at leisure. Make your own way to explore the city. We would like to recommend you to stroll down EI Caminito, go market-hopping in San Telmo, get cultured at MALBA, catch a polo match, have a night out in Palermo and so on.

Bid farewell to Argentina. Be transferred to the airport and fly back home.
