The South American Package

Arrive in Rio de Janeiro and transfer to your hotel. Begin your South American journey with the exclusive “Carnival Unmasked” experience, visiting Cidade do Samba and the workshop of Acadêmicos do Grande Rio. Discover how Brazil’s most famous festival is created behind the scenes, from elaborate floats to dazzling costumes, before trying on carnival attire yourself and enjoying a traditional caipirinha.

Explore Rio’s world-famous landmarks, including Christ the Redeemer atop Corcovado Mountain and Sugarloaf Mountain overlooking Guanabara Bay. Between the mountains and beaches, discover why Rio remains one of the most visually spectacular cities on earth.

Enjoy a final day in Rio exploring neighbourhoods, beaches, and local culture. Wander through Santa Teresa, discover colourful street art, relax on Ipanema Beach, or simply soak in the city’s unique blend of urban energy and coastal beauty.

Fly to Iguazú and begin exploring one of the world’s greatest natural wonders. The Brazilian side offers sweeping panoramic views across hundreds of cascades stretching through tropical rainforest.

Explore the Argentine side of Iguazú Falls, where extensive walkways bring visitors remarkably close to the cascades. Experience the immense power of Devil’s Throat and witness the falls from multiple perspectives throughout the national park.

Fly to Buenos Aires and settle into one of South America’s most sophisticated cities. The evening offers opportunities to enjoy Argentine cuisine, wine, and the city’s renowned cultural scene.

Explore Buenos Aires through its historic districts including Plaza de Mayo, San Telmo, Recoleta, and La Boca. In the evening, enjoy either a traditional tango dinner performance or a contemporary fireside dining experience created by celebrated local restaurateurs.

Fly south to El Calafate, where the landscape transforms dramatically from urban Argentina to the vast wilderness of Patagonia. The remainder of the day is free to appreciate the remote beauty of this frontier region.

Visit Los Glaciares National Park and witness Perito Moreno Glacier, one of the few advancing glaciers in the world. Towering walls of blue ice create one of Patagonia’s most memorable natural spectacles.

Travel across the border into Chile and enter Torres del Paine National Park. The scenery becomes increasingly dramatic as granite peaks, lakes, and open grasslands dominate the horizon.

Spend the day exploring Torres del Paine National Park, widely regarded as one of the world’s greatest national parks. Discover turquoise lakes, glaciers, wildlife, and dramatic mountain formations throughout the reserve.

Continue exploring Patagonia through guided excursions, wildlife encounters, and scenic viewpoints. The region’s immense scale and constantly changing weather create an unforgettable wilderness experience.

Leave Patagonia and fly to Santiago, Chile’s cosmopolitan capital. Nestled beneath the Andes, Santiago combines modern city life with rich culinary traditions and access to some of South America’s finest wine regions.

Explore Santiago through its diverse neighbourhoods, discovering local markets, food culture, architecture, and everyday life. This experience focuses on understanding the city’s character beyond the traditional tourist highlights.

Spend a final full day in Santiago exploring additional districts, museums, culinary experiences, and local traditions. The city offers a fitting conclusion to a journey spanning three distinct South American nations.

Transfer to Santiago International Airport for your departure. Your journey concludes after experiencing Brazil’s energy, Argentina’s culture and Patagonia, and Chile’s dramatic landscapes and urban sophistication.
