Travelling as a group
You are never left to find your own way. The tour manager stays with the group all day, every day.
South America tour of Argentina, Brazil and Chile
Iguazu Falls, tango in Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro beaches and the wine valleys of Chile in one journey.
14 days
Argentina, Brazil, Chile
South America
September to April
Tour overview
South America surprises everyone who joins it. The falls at Iguazu are wider than anything most travellers have seen, Rio has a warmth you feel immediately, and Santiago sits under snow topped mountains.
We fly between the main cities rather than take long coach journeys, so your energy goes into sightseeing instead of travel days.
Trip highlights
- Both the Argentinian and Brazilian sides of Iguazu Falls
- Tango dinner show in Buenos Aires
- Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain cable car in Rio
- Copacabana and Ipanema beach drive
- Wine estate lunch in the Maipo Valley near Santiago
