Savor spectacular views of the city while toasting your upcoming vacation with a favorite Brazilian cocktail. A guided sightseeing tour takes you to the cathedral and to the statue of Christ the Redeemer crowning Corcovado Mountain, a rounded peak rising 2,300 feet from the bay below. Take the scenic cog railway ride to its top for 360-degree panoramic views. In Rio de Janeiro, enjoy plenty of free time to relax, explore on your own, or join optional activities and tours. Next, fly to Iguassu Falls and witness the spectacular beauty of this natural waterfall with its 2-mile-wide torrential downpour. The clouds of spray, the incessant roar, and the surrounding luxuriant tropical growth make this an unforgettable natural wonder. Tour the Argentine side of the Falls on the Ecological Jungle Train before flying to Buenos Aires, Argentina’s vibrant capital city. Spend three nights in Buenos Aires and enjoy a guided walking tour of the city. On a sightseeing tour, see La Boca, a colorful district and site of the city’s first port. Also, visit the Metropolitan Cathedral and the Cemetery of the Recoleta, the burial site of Eva Peron. Witness a flawless performance of Latin America’s most sensuous dance – the Tango! You have a full day of leisure to tour the city at your own pace or join an optional tour to the Pampas, where you experience the atmosphere of Argentine country life. With a perfect balance of guided tours and leisure time to enjoy Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires, this South American Escape is filled with vacation memories to last a lifetime.
