Vacation Overview

Explore the beauty of South America during this exhilarating vacation to Brazil, Argentina, and Chile. Your trip begins in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with a 4-night stay. Enjoy a favorite Brazilian drink as you relish the views from 1,300-foot-high Sugar Loaf Mountain and take a scenic ride on the cog railway to the top of Corcovado Mountain with the statue of Christ the Redeemer. In Rio, enjoy a guided sightseeing tour, including the cathedral, and experience a Samba show, where the vitality of Brazil comes alive! You have plenty of free time to relax, explore on your own, or join optional activities and tours.

Next, fly to Iguassu Falls to see the magnificent waterfalls and tropical foliage from the Brazilian side. Marvel at this 2-mile-wide torrential downpour with some cataracts as high as 250 feet. Take the Ecological Jungle Train and enjoy a closer perspective on a walking tour of the Argentine side of the Falls. The magnificent scenery and incessant roar are hypnotic. Then fly to Buenos Aires, capital of Argentina. During your 3-night stay in Buenos Aires, tour the Metropolitan Cathedral and the Cemetery of the Recoleta, the burial site of Eva Peron. Plenty of free time allows you to savor the atmosphere of this cosmopolitan city or join an optional tour to the Pampas to experience Argentine country life.

Finally spend three nights in Santiago, Chile’s political, cultural, and commercial capital. On your guided tour of Santiago, step back into the 16th century as you trace the city’s history and heritage, and visit the Pre-Columbian Art Museum, as well as the 18th-century cathedral. In Santiago, you have time to experience the city on your own or take an optional excursion to the beautiful coastal region of Santiago.
