Itinerary / more information

  • 1 - Buenos Aires Bienvenidos! Welcome to Argentina. You'll arrive in Buenos Aires, Argentina's capital, where you'll be met at the airport and transferred to your Feature Stay accommodation - Tango de Mayo Hotel in the heart of the city. Founded in 1913, the hotel retains its Art Nouveau charm, while upgrading to modern comforts and first-class service. If you arrive early, maybe head to a local rooftop bar and enjoy the views of Buenos Aires with a cocktail. You'll have a welcome meeting at 6 pm tonight, where you'll meet your local leader and fellow travellers. After the meeting, head to the home of a porteno (inhabitant of Buenos Aires) for a traditional Asado feast. Chat to your friendly host about all things Argentina while tucking into a spread of barbecued meats, provoleta cheese and plenty of local wine. After, you might want to keep the evening going with a post-dinner tango show.
  • 2 - Buenos Aires This morning you'll discover Buenos Aires's history, cultural influences and iconic sites during a city tour with a local guide. First, you'll head to a traditional urban house and enjoy an exclusive tango performance by two professional dancers who have been working together for more than 15 years. The dancers are passionate about preserving and sharing the art of tango, and the performance will be followed by a beginner's class, so you can be a part of Argentina's cultural heritage, too. Learn about the style and history of the dance and pick up a few moves to take home. Your next stop is the Plaza de Mayo to see the original town hall, as well as the presidential palace known as the Pink House. Walk around La Boca and its Caminito district. Head to the Recoleta Cemetery - a labyrinth of ornate mausoleums, stopping at the grave of Eva Peron. Leave the cemetery and see the Floralis Generica - a huge metal flower made by Argentinean architect Eduardo Catalano. The rest of the evening is free.
  • 3 - Iguazu Falls - Brazilian side This morning, transfer to the airport and board a flight to Puerto Iguazu in Argentina. You'll spend the next two days exploring Iguazu Falls in depth, seeing them from both the Argentinian and Brazilian side. While you're flying into Argentina, today will be spent exploring the Brazilian side of Iguazu Falls. At over 2 km in length, and made up of 275 waterfalls in total, Iguazu is higher than Niagara Falls and wider than Victoria Falls! The Brazilian side of the falls offers unforgettable panoramic views, which you'll get to spend time taking in today. For an eagle-eye view of the falls, you can also opt to take on an optional helicopter flight.
  • 4 - Iguazu Falls - Argentinian side Rise and shine for an early departure to the Argentinian side of the falls, where you will be able to get up close to this incredible feat of nature. There is a system of boardwalks on the Argentinian side of the falls that allow you to access some incredible viewing points, or you could choose to take an optional zodiac ride beneath the cascades for a different perspective. This afternoon, you'll have the opportunity to visit a Guarani community - one of the few remaining original inhabitants of the region. Meet with a member of the community to learn about the native tools used for daily activities. Your host will show you around the community and provide insight on the Guarani way of life while explaining how they have preserved their traditions on the edge of one of the world's most popular attractions. Return to your hotel for a leisurely evening.
  • 5 - Rio de Janeiro Cross the border into Brazil this morning and take an included flight from Foz do Iguacu to Rio de Janeiro. When you have transferred to your hotel and settled in, join your leader on an orientation walk to get a feel for this lively city and learn a little about its layered history. The rest of the day is free to explore at your own pace. You might like to head down to the famous white sands of Cobacapana and Ipanema beaches for a snapshot of local life. If you'd like to listen to some live music, head to Lapa and join the locals for some dancing.
  • 6 - Rio de Janeiro Today, you'll get to know the sights and sounds of Rio during a full-day tour with your leader. Visit Corcovado Mountain for expansive views over the city from the base of the Christ the Redeemer statue - one of the Seven Wonders of the World! Next, head to Santa Teresa to see the architecture, restaurants and art galleries. Continue to the famous Selaron Steps to see Chilean artist Jorge Selaron's famous artwork. Give your feet a break during a lunch stop in a restored home dating to 1907. Finally, visit the iconic Sugarloaf
