Brazil, Argentina & Chile Unveiled
12 Days
Tour Description
This South America tour features three of the continent’s most exciting cities—Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, and Santiago—along with one of the world’s most spectacular attractions, Iguassu Falls. At a relaxed pace, you’ll enjoy guided sightseeing in each city as well as free time in Rio to sip caipirinhas and visit the famous beaches, in Santiago to people-watch at a lovely café with the snowcapped Andes Mountains as your backdrop, and in Buenos Aires to take an optional excursion to a local estancia (ranch) or a Tango show and dinner. Your guided sightseeing tours include the cog railway in Rio de Janeiro that takes you 2,300 feet up to the summit of Corcovado Mountain to view the famous Christ the Redeemer statue and 360-degree views of the city; Recoleta Cemetery, burial site of Eva Perón, in Buenos Aires; and a visit to the 18th-century Cathedral in Santiago. But that’s not all, a highlight of this South America tour is a visit to Iguassu Falls, where you’ll experience the falls on both the Brazilian and Argentine sides. Hear the thundering roar of the water, be awed by the rainbows formed in the mist, and enjoy the ecological jungle train that takes you through the rainforest for unforgettable views. Pictures cannot do justice to these falls—they must be witnessed in person! From the vibrant cities to the scenic beauty, this vacation to Brazil, Argentina, and Chile will leave you with holiday memories you’ll cherish for life. For savvy, value-minded travellers, it’s the perfect holiday.
