Welcome to spectacular Rio de Janeiro – Galeao International Airport, home to sizzling nightlife! Settle into your hotel for overnight stay.
Sprawling between majestic granite peaks and the blue South Atlantic, Rio is a city of beauty, wonder, and energy. Guided sightseeing begins with a drive along Rio’s famed Leblon, Ipanema, and more. Take the cog railway 2,300 feet up to the summit of Corcovado to view the famous Christ the Redeemer statue and 360-degree views of Guanabara Bay and the bustling city below. The famed statue was completed in 1931 becoming emblematic for both the city and the Brazilian nation as a whole. Your afternoon is free to explore on your own.
After breakfast be picked up from the hotel to visit the Sugar Loaf Mountain. From the summit, you will have a beautiful and unforgettable view of Guanabara Bay, the beaches of Botafogo, Flamengo and Copacabana, Niterói, the neighborhood of Urca, among other places. Afterward, we take a panoramic tour to see the famous coast of Rio de Janeiro. We can admire and take many pictures of the famous beaches of Rio, such as Leblon Beach, Ipanema Beach, and Copacabana Beach. Around the middle of the day, we take you back to your hotel.
A morning flight takes you to Iguassu Falls, one of the greatest natural wonders of the world. Journey to the Brazilian side of the falls to see the mammoth series of 275 waterfalls cascading over a precipice almost two miles wide and 250 feet deep. Walk into Devil’s Throat Canyon, where the clouds of mist, thundering roar, and 180-degree rainbows surround you—an unforgettable experience!
Cross the Brazilian border by motorcoach and visit the Argentine side of the falls. Begin with a short ride on the open-air Ecological Jungle Train through the rainforest. A series of boardwalks takes you above the falls to see the water crashing down into the Devil’s Throat. Your afternoon is free to explore, or you may opt to visit the Bird Park, home to many species of endemic birds as well as flora from the area.
This morning, cross the Brazilian border into Argentina by motorcoach to transfer to the Cataratas del Iguazu International Airport for your flight to Buenos Aires, Argentina’s cosmopolitan capital. After settling into your hotel, you may wish to familiarize yourself with the “Paris of South America” and its wide boulevards, outdoor cafés, and charming shops
Morning sightseeing with a Local Guide focuses on the city’s landmarks, including the Teatro Colón Opera House and Plaza de Mayo, site of La Casa Rosada (the President’s Pink House), and Metropolitan Cathedral. Also, visit La Boca and San Telmo, one of Buenos Aires’ oldest neighborhoods, and Recoleta Cemetery where Eva Perón is buried. In the evening you will be transferred to a “Tanguería” (Tango House) in the San Telmo neighborhood, which is the birthplace of tango and one of the oldest barrios (neighborhoods) of Buenos Aires. Kick off the night with a delicious dinner and enjoy live tango and folk bands. After the show, you will be transferred back to your hotel around midnight for your overnight stay.
Discover the UNESCO-listed Uruguayan town of Colonia del Sacramento on this day trip from Buenos Aires. Leave the cosmopolitan capital behind for the slower pace of life on the other side of the Rio de la Plata. After a ferry ride, meet a local guide for a guided walking tour of Colonia upon arrival. Spend the afternoon discovering Colonia on your own. You’ll return to Buenos Aires by ferry after a full day. Please note: you will be required to present your passport upon arrival into Uruguay and also upon return to Argentina. Overnight at Buenos Aires.
Fly over the majestic Andes to Santiago, Chile’s scenic capital between the Pacific and the Andes. With a coastline more than 2,650 miles long, Chile is more than 10 times longer than it is wide. With a distinctly European flavor accented with Latin flair, Santiago is one of South America’s most sophisticated and modern cities.
Your guided city tour introduces you to Santiago—the country’s political, commercial, and cultural capital. View La Moneda Government Palace and San Cristobal Hill with its landmark statue of the Virgin Mary. Your tour ends at the city’s main square, Plaza de Armas, with a visit to the relic-filled Cathedral. Your afternoon is at leisure. This evening, consider the optional Chilean Folkloric Dinner Show.

Today, enjoy a day at leisure. A trip to Valparaiso and Viña del Mar is highly recommended. A leisurely drive through the countryside and vineyards delivers you to Valparaiso, a city of 42 hills and the inspiration of many artists and poets. On to the chic seaside resort of Viña del Mar, full of unusual architecture and beautiful gardens.
After breakfast, you will be collected from your hotel and transferred to Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport.
