An included farewell dinner and Tango show on your last night

Begin your South American adventure with a half-day included tour that, as well as introducing downtown Rio, features a cable car ride up Sugarloaf Mountain. The spectacular 360-degree views from atop the mountain are unforgettable.

This evening, enjoy an included drink at a local carioca bar close to your hotel before the chance to take in an optional Roxy Show in town. Housed in a restored 1930s Art Deco cinema, this show combines Brazil’s diversity and cultures through different styles of dance, music and live performances and concludes with a carnival-inspired finale. Dinner is at leisure tonight.

Continue your exploration of Rio today with an excursion to a wonder of the world – the Christ the Redeemer statue atop Corcovado Mountain. Drive through lush suburbs to the Cosmo Velho cog-railway station, and journey up to the giant figure, then take the lift or escalator, or brave the stairs, up to the viewpoint. Return to Rio via the famous beach districts of Ipanema and Leblon.

This evening, enjoy your final evening in Rio with an included dinner at an authentic Brazilian steak restaurant.

Early this morning, transfer to the airport for a flight to Iguazú Falls, the world-famous cascades which mark the meeting point of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. Travel by coach through the lush foliage to your resort hotel on the Brazilian side of the Falls where you'll spend the next two nights.

Later this morning, start your exploration of the UNESCO-listed Iguazú National Park with a scenic walk along a series of foliage-lined pathways that will lead you to the Falls. Watch the region's untouched ecosystems in action as you pass verdant forests and flourishing wildflowers which are constantly fed by moisture from the magnificent nearby waterfalls. Walk out over the footbridge, and ride the panoramic lift, to enjoy the sweeping views across Iguazú's 275 plunging cataracts.

Dinner will be served back at the hotel later this evening.

Cross the border into Argentina this morning and witness a different side to the Falls. Still within the boundaries of the Iguazú National Park, the Argentinian side is a stunning jungle refuge for big cats, monkeys, tapirs and countless colourful bird species. Here, you’ll enjoy a choice of fascinating guided walks, accompanied by a park ranger, as well as a 25-minute train ride to see the most spectacular of the torrents – the famous Devil’s Throat – from a series of walkways and footbridges.

This evening, return to the hotel and find dinner at your own leisure.

Take the morning at your own pace today, or embark on an optional helicopter flight above the magnificent Iguazú Falls. On this 10-minute flight, you'll enjoy unrestricted views of the falls and their surrounding rainforest before travelling back to the hotel for a quick refresh ahead of this afternoon's flight to Buenos Aires. Upon arrival, meet your Argentinian tour manager and transfer to your hotel. This evening, enjoy dinner at your own leisure.

Today you'll enjoy a guided introduction to Buenos Aires. See Plaza de Mayo’s parliament buildings, the tango district of San Telmo, the famously colourful La Boca district, the chic Puerto Madero riverside area and La Recoleta – the Argentinian capital's most elegant neighbourhood.

Return to the hotel at the end of a wonderful day, and settle in for a captivating tango show with dinner later this evening.

Discover more of the enthralling Buenos Aires under your own steam today, or join an exciting optional excursion into the pampas grassland

Leave Buenos Aires and drive to San Antonio de Areco, the heart of Argentina's 'gaucho' traditions. Arrive at El Ombu de Areco, a traditional, 741-acre ranch dedicated to agriculture and animal farming. Here, the ranch's impressive late-colonial style mansion, built by Lieutenant-General Pablo Riccheri in 1880, and its magnificent “casco” promise an unforgettably immersive taste of Argentine culture.

Enjoy a horseback ride through the grounds, or if you'd prefer, follow the same route on foot, before settling in for a traditional asado (BBQ lunch) that includes fine meats, salads, wine, and dessert. Later this afternoon, enjoy an intimate folklore show as a gaucho plays the guitar and see a horse-riding skills demonstration.

However you choose to spend your day, return to your Buenos Aires hotel for your final night in Argentina.

Brazil and Argentina Touring Hotels Brazil, Argentina You will be staying in a series of comfortable hotels that are conveniently located for your tour itinerary.

The majority of our tours involve a certain amount of walking, including a short walk from the coach stop to the town, attraction or venue you're visiting. If you are bringing a wheelchair, please let us know at the time of booking so that appropriate arrangements can be made.

Occasionally, for operational reasons, we may have to change the order of the excursions on your holiday. The final day-by-day itinerary will be confirmed on your Final Travel Documents, which you will receive approximately three weeks prior to your departure.

We sometimes need to combine transfers to and from your hotel. We always try to keep any wait to a minimum, but you may be asked to wait at the airport for up to an hour, while other incoming flights arrive, before the transfer to your hotel. Similarly, we may need to transfer you back to the airport up to three hours before your flight home departs.

Your itinerary on Day 5 and Day 6 will be dependent on internal flights. We will endeavour to arrive in Iguazu around lunchtime on Day 5. If this is not possible due to flight constraints a complete exploration of Iguazu Falls will take place on Day 6, both the Brazilian and Argentine side. A lunch box will then be provided for your comfort and convenience whilst you travel between the two.

Effective immediately, the Argentine government now requires all non-resident visitors to present valid travel health insurance upon arrival. This is a mandatory entry requirement and is being enforced at all airports, land borders, and maritime ports.

All international travellers must provide proof of valid travel health insurance on arrival in Argentina, and the insurance policy must cover:

Medical emergencies
Hospitalization
Repatriation

Airlines have been instructed to verify compliance before boarding. Travellers without valid proof of insurance may be denied boarding. Please note, this requirement applies regardless of nationality or reason for travel.

We are closely monitoring the situation for any updates regarding specific coverage amounts or policy types. As of now, no further details have been provided by the Argentine authorities.

Tipping and gratuities for your tour manager or driver are generally expected for good service and are very much appreciated in the country you're travelling to. Recommended amounts range between $7 and $10 per day, and the exact amount will be advised in your Final Travel Documents.

All mandatory local taxes and charges are included in the price of your holiday as per the itinerary. Prices for any optional excursions are listed separately. Any suggested free-time activities, attractions, meals or entertainment are not included (unless otherwise stated), and may be subject to local charges. Please note that tipping is optional and as such, is typically not included in the price of your holiday (unless otherwise stated).
