In Search Of Iguassu - Buenos Aires to Rio de Janeiro

Tour Map of In Search Of Iguassu - Buenos Aires to Rio de Janeiro

Get your South American rush with other young travellers not afraid to embrace the new. You'll kick off the adventure in sophisticated Buenos Aires before getting back to nature on day hikes at a working Uruguayan ranch. Marvel at Iguassu Falls, then hop a flight to São Paulo on your way to the Brazilian coast—no gruelling bus ride means more time on the beach. We'll wrap up in the party in Rio, where you're free to embrace the carnival atmosphere from our centrally located Copacabana hotel.

Our tours are packed with action and adventure, travelling through a country to experience its culture and to meet the local people. But they’re also about experiencing the awesome beauty of the natural world, the most inspiring landscapes on every continent. You could join one of our Inspiring Landscapes tours to see for yourself the soaring peaks of the Himalaya, experience the vast emptiness of the Sahara, walk in the immense Amazon Rainforest or witness the spectacular, wind- and water-eroded landscapes of the western United States. Closer to home you could wonder at the soft contours of Tuscany’s rolling hills or the dramatic, lava-strewn volcanoes of Iceland. When you discover these landscapes with Explore you won’t just be having a look, taking a photo and moving on. You’ll appreciate them all the more by staying longer and interacting with nature, usually on foot: getting in amongst the mountains, the trees and the sand-dunes – and really soaking up the atmosphere of the place.

South America is a vast continent with so many attractions it can be impossible to know where to start. Our essential tour takes you to three countries - Uruguay, Argentina and Brazil - to experience their contagious energy. Nearly half of Uruguay’s citizens live in Montevideo, creating a vibrant and eclectic capital. Buenos Aires is an exciting mix of past European grandeur and Latin passion; and, although Rio de Janeiro no longer holds capital status, it has retained its colourful cultural allure with world-famous beaches, lively carnivals and one of the seven wonders of the modern world.
