Cultural Tour of South America: Santiago to Rio
In Chile, Argentina and Brazil, expect breath-taking sights, fascinating culture and excellent cuisine. Including wine-tasting and a trip out to Iguazu falls, this two-week tour is a great way to explore South America.
Our adventure begins in Santiago, Chile, where we’ll tour some of the city’s key sights, to help you find your bearings. Santiago is a cosmopolitan city, with many different regions and hubs which vary dramatically, from bohemian Lastarria to affluent Las Condes. From Santiago, we’ll drive over the immense Andes to Mendoza, the wine capital of Argentina. Next, it’s on to Buenos Aires, where we’ll visit the La Boca District, famed for its colourful buildings. Iguaçú Falls will transport you to feeling that you are in the Jurassic period, with verdant forest surrounding the white-water cascades. Finally, on this awe-inspiring tour of South America, we will visit Rio de Janeiro – seeing Christ the Redeemer standing tall above the city, glowing at night is a sight that will stay with you forever.
Suitable for adults of all ages.
