Argentina and Brazil: A True South American Adventure

Flights to and from the destination are not included in the package, so you can decide when and where you want to depart! This gives you complete freedom of choice to adjust your travels to your needs.

Welcome to Buenos Aires, often called the Paris of South America! Upon landing in the Argentine capital, we’ll immediately dive into the city’s vibrant atmosphere. After checking in at our hotel, and we gather for welcome meeting— click here to see how it works!, where we’ll raise a glass to the beginning of this unforgettable adventure.

As the evening unfolds, we’ll enjoy our first group dinner—perhaps at a traditional parrilla, where the legendary Argentine asado is more than just a meal: it’s a social ritual, a feast that celebrates the heart and soul of Argentine culture. Between mouthfuls, we’ll hear captivating stories about a city that moves to the rhythm of the tango, a passionate dance born in its oldest neighbourhoods.

Ready to be swept up by the irresistible energy of Buenos Aires? This is only the beginning!

Rise and shine - today we set out to discover two of Buenos Aires’ most iconic neighbourhoods: Recoleta and Retiro. We’ll begin with a guided walking tour, wandering elegant European-style boulevards, grand avenues, and hearing captivating stories of the city’s past. A highlight is the Recoleta Cemetery, resting place of the legendary Evita Perón. Its monumental tombs resemble miniature architectural masterpieces, each with a tale of its own.

To recharge, we’ll pause for a typical empanada snack, before our guide introduces us to the ritual of mate ("ma-teh") - what it means to Argentines, how it’s prepared, and how best to savour it.

In the afternoon, we move to the city’s trendiest district: Palermo. Here, among leafy avenues, fashionable cafés, and creative boutiques, we’ll stroll through streets adorned with vivid murals. Street art is woven into the fabric of Buenos Aires, with local and international artists transforming walls into striking open-air galleries.

The evening is free for your own explorations, but we recommend embracing the spirit of the city at a milonga. Whether you take to the dance floor or simply soak up the atmosphere, the passionate rhythms of tango and live music will leave you spellbound—because in Buenos Aires, tango is more than a dance, it’s a way of life.

Today, we dive even deeper into the spirit of Buenos Aires, exploring two of its most emblematic neighbourhoods: San Telmo and La Boca.

Our morning begins in San Telmo, a bohemian quarter that feels like stepping back in time. Its cobblestone streets, antique markets, and historic cafés reveal a city where the past and present intertwine effortlessly. As we wander through the lively alleys, we’ll pause for a well-deserved treat: a perfectly baked empanada, crisp on the outside and juicy within—the very essence of Argentine street food.

From here, we head to the vibrant district of La Boca, where the iconic Caminito welcomes us with its colourful houses and the rhythm of tango drifting through the air. This is the very cradle of tango, and who knows—an impromptu dance may tempt us as we pass by. For football enthusiasts, no visit would be complete without a stop at La Bombonera, the legendary home of Boca Juniors, one of the most celebrated clubs in the world.

And, of course, food is never far from the agenda: a sizzling choripán or a hearty milanesa a la napolitana from a local food stall will delight the tastebuds. Every bite tells the story of the fusion between European and Latin American traditions that defines the city.

It will be a day brimming with discovery—history, music, football, and gastronomy—all woven together in the living heartbeat of Buenos Aires.

It’s an early start today, as adventure calls! After one last Argentine breakfast, we set off for the airport—next stop: the spectacular Iguazú Falls. On arrival, a private transfer will whisk us across the border into Brazil, where we head straight to our hotel.

Once settled, it’s time to immerse ourselves in the wonders of nature. We’ll embark on a guided tour of the Brazilian side of Iguazú National Park, where sweeping trails reveal an endless curtain of thundering waterfalls, shimmering rainbows, and jaw-dropping panoramic views. It’s the perfect introduction to this natural wonder of the world.

But don’t worry—this is only the beginning. Tomorrow promises even more time to marvel at the magic of natureza in all its glory.

We wake up with adrenaline already pumping: today one of the most anticipated moments of the trip awaits us.

The Iguazu Falls, seen from the Argentine side , are hard to describe... they must be experienced. Walking along the forest trails, the roar of the water gets closer and closer, until suddenly, nature explodes before us: the Devil's Throat . An immense wall of water, shrouded in clouds of steam, roars with an almost surreal force. In that moment, time seems to stand still: we are suspended between awe and shivers of pure emotion.

And if you're looking for an even more adrenaline rush, there's a truly inspiring option: a boat tour directly beneath the falls. It's more than just a scenic ride: it's diving into the heart of the water, being swept away by the spray, and laughing like children as a giant shower envelops you from head to toe. An experience that promises unforgettable thrills.

Those who prefer can continue trekking, discovering ever-new corners of this natural masterpiece. Iguazu offers everyone their own way to experience it: powerful, intimate, or adrenaline-filled.

The day ends with a return to the hotel... but our eyes, still filled with rainbows and waterfalls, will struggle to close: tomorrow Rio awaits us, but tonight our dreams will be all colored with water and adventure.

We depart early in the morning on a flight that takes us from the magic of Iguazú Falls to the vibrant energy of Rio de Janeiro. Upon arrival, we transfer to our hotel for check-in and some well-deserved time to relax.

In the afternoon, we head to Copacabana Beach for an engaging introduction to capoeira and samba, enjoy an acrobatic performance, and take part in fun ice-breaking games. This experience also has a meaningful social impact: the school we partner with promotes the social inclusion of children and young people from the Rocinha community by providing cultural and artistic development opportunities and strengthening family ties.

The experience concludes with a beachside aperitif, featuring a fruit caipirinha and traditional Brazilian petiscos. Those with energy to spare can join a game of beach volleyball at sunset, just like the locals.

We then get ready for our first evening in Rio, ready to be swept away by the city’s incredible energy.

Today we plunge fully into the essence of Rio de Janeiro, guided by a local expert who will help us uncover the city’s most iconic landmarks and neighbourhoods.

Our journey begins with a visit to the striking Rio Cathedral, a modern masterpiece that contrasts beautifully with the city’s colonial past. From there, we wander up the colourful Escadaria Selarón, its vibrant mosaic tiles a symbol of Rio’s artistic spirit (and perhaps we’ll even add our own touch to the mural!).

Next, we step inside the legendary Sambadrome, where the energy of carnival lives all year round, and imagine the dazzling parades that transform the city each February.

Of course, no visit to Rio would be complete without ascending to the top of Christ the Redeemer, the city’s greatest icon and one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. From this breathtaking vantage point, we’ll enjoy sweeping views over the city—perfect for those unforgettable selfies and group shots!

In the afternoon, we continue our discovery of Rio with another of its timeless icons: the Bondinho cable car ride up to the majestic Sugarloaf Mountain. Gliding above the city, we arrive at one of Rio’s most spectacular viewpoints. From the summit, a sweeping 360° panorama unfolds before us—Copacabana’s golden sands on one side, the city’s historic centre on the other, and endless ocean stretching beyond.

We linger here until sunset, watching as the sky transforms into a canvas of glowing pinks, purples, and oranges—a magical farewell to the day.

As night falls, the adventure continues in the vibrant heart of Carioca nightlife. Between lively bars, buzzing clubs, and irresistible music, we’ll let the rhythms of Rio carry us deep into the night. This city doesn’t just sleep—it dances, and tonight, so will we!

Today you have the option to visit Rocinha, the largest favela in Rio de Janeiro. Here, we will experience the vitality of a community that, despite its challenges, has developed a strong sense of identity—expressed through music, street art, and an atmosphere of genuine warmth. This is Rio beyond the postcards: a place where resilience and creativity thrive.

Rio de Janeiro is not only about beaches and samba; it is a city of contrasts, colours, and energy, where joy and everyday reality intertwine. Experiencing this side of the city is something we simply cannot miss.
