About this trip
Twelve days across Argentina and Brazil, moving between two very different capitals and one of the world's great waterfalls in between.
You start in Buenos Aires, get a look at Iguazu Falls where Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay meet, then fly on to Rio de Janeiro for its beaches and city buzz.
It's a partially guided trip pitched as easy going, with the structure set but room for you to shape parts of it — a good fit if you want the big sights hit without a packed schedule every single day.
What you'll do
- Explore Buenos Aires
- See Iguazu Falls from the Argentine side
- Fly to Rio de Janeiro
- Spend time on Rio's beaches
- Partially guided, so some days are left for you to explore independently
- Rated easy, suited to a relaxed pace despite covering three cities
- Available over Christmas and New Year for travellers wanting to be away over the holidays
Worth it if you prioritise Argentina's highlights and don't expect deep immersion in Brazil. Think twice if Rio city exploration is your main draw.
- Buenos Aires tango show was genuinely excellent: high-quality production, good food, professional venue.
- Hotels consistently well-chosen and comfortable; private transfers reliable, on-time, crucial with frequent flights.
- Brazilian tours undercooked: Rio city tour was just Sugarloaf return with minimal narration, no proper walking tour unlike Buenos Aires.
- Back-to-back late night tango show then early Colonia trip caused fatigue; schedule clash worth knowing about.
