Itinerary

Tour Itinerary

Two of South America’s most vibrant and sultry countries await you on South America Samba. Starting in the ‘Cidade Maravilhosa’ of Rio, ride the cog railway to Christ the Redeemer and join an optional cruise around Guanabara Bay, then experience the sheer force of nature at Iguassu Falls, the world’s largest series of waterfalls. Country hop to Argentina for big steaks, fiery tango and a slice of gaucho living, letting the passion and charm of Buenos Aires work its way into your heart.

Countries Visited

Argentina , Brazil

  1. Day 1
    Arrive Rio de Janeiro (3 Nights)
    Golden swathes of famous coastline, tropical landscapes, and a certain joie de vivre will welcome you to one of the world’s most vibrant cities, Rio de Janeiro. Energy pulses through every pore of this passionate and fun-loving city, flooding from the favelas to the football fields and culminating in nightly parties where the caipirinhas are free-flowing and the samba rhythm is infectious. Rio may be best known for its annual Carnival, but visiting here you’ll realise that every day is cause for celebration. Settle into your hotel before meeting up with your Travel Director this afternoon. Then perhaps hit the sands of Copacabana to watch the sun set whilst you sip your first cachaça.Accommodation: Windsor Plaza Copacabana
  2. Day 2
    Rio de Janeiro sightseeing and free time
    Start your day in Rio’s charming Cosme Velho district, where you’ll hop on a historic cogwheel train and wind your way through the lush Tijuca Forest. At the top of Mount Corcovado, take in the awe-inspiring 30-meter Christ the Redeemer, an icon of Rio and one of the New 7 Wonders of the World. After soaking in panoramic views of the “Marvelous City,” it's time to hit Rio's famous beaches—Copacabana and Ipanema. This evening, savor the flavors of South America at Carretão Ipanema Churrascaria, a traditional Brazilian rotisserie inspired by the centuries-old fireside roasts of the gauchos.Accommodation: Windsor Plaza Copacabana

    Rio de Janeiro – Iguassu Falls (2 Nights)

You’ll be venturing down to the ominously named and utterly exhilarating Devil’s Throat, the tallest and most impressive of Iguassu’s waterfalls. Remember that raincoat? Now’s the time to use it! This afternoon keep the adrenalin levels high on a choice optional experience where you'll take an open-air tram through the jungle to the Macuco Falls, and then board a custom designed inflatable motorboat for a high intensity ride to the base of the falls. If keeping things a little more relaxed is more your style, opt to visit a bird park on a Make Travel Matter® Experience where you can spot more than 150 different species of birds.Accommodation: Viale Cataratas Hotel

The Argentinian side offers equally impressive views, giving you a fresh perspective on this natural wonder. Hop aboard the open-sided Ecological Jungle Train, a peaceful and scenic ride that takes you to Devil’s Throat for another jaw-dropping encounter with the falls. After soaking up the sights and sounds of Iguassu one last time, it’s off to the airport for your flight to Buenos Aires—a city bursting with passion, European flair, and irresistible energy.Accommodation: NH City
