About this trip
Nine days that take you from city energy to waterfalls to beach time, moving between Argentina and Brazil along the way. You start in Buenos Aires, cross to Iguassu Falls for views from both sides of the border, then head to the coast for Ilha Grande and Paraty before finishing in Rio de Janeiro.
It is a fairly quick-moving route, so expect a mix of city nights, a big natural landmark in the middle, and proper downtime on the beaches around Ilha Grande. Good for anyone who wants nightlife, wilderness and coastline in one go rather than picking just one.

- Explore Buenos Aires and its tango culture
- See Iguassu Falls from both the Argentine and Brazilian sides
- Relax on the beaches of Ilha Grande
