Embark on this nine-night classic itinerary through Latin America's two most exciting and vibrant cities (Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro) as well as the spectacular and mighty Iguazu Falls, surrounded by verdant forest.
First, you have three days to explore the cosmopolitan city of Buenos Aires in Argentina. The city is split into a unique set of neighbourhoods. The areas of most interest include the colourful old port district of La Boca, the trendsetting shops and restaurants of Palermo, the modern skyline of Puerto Madero the Parisian architecture of Recoleta and the Art Deco cafés and restaurants of Retiro.
Next up is Iguazu Falls, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986. The rich subtropical forest that surrounds the falls is a haven for wildlife, including birds, butterflies, monkeys and coatis, with a series of pathways running through the national park affording exceptional views from a number of vantage points.
Lastly, spend three days experiencing the buzzing city of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. The panorama of beaches, mountains, islands, sea and bays is simply unforgettable. During your time here, you'll get to enjoy a tour through Tijuca forest towards Corcovado Peak and to the famous Christ the Redeemer before climbing the Sugarloaf Mountain peak by cable car for some extraordinary panoramic city views.
