Discover Buenos Aires, Argentina's sultry and sensual capital. Tour its best sights, then explore its many corners at your leisure, from the star-studded Recoleta cemetery to the tucked-away milongas (tango halls)
Explore the lush landscapes of the Ibera Wetlands in search of anacondas, otters, howler monkeys and a vast array of colourful birds
With included visits to Iguazu Falls from both the Argentinian and Brazilian sides, you'll get the most out of this jaw-dropping natural wonder
Finish in Rio de Janeiro, where you're free to stroll the sands of Copacabana, soar across town on the Sugarloaf Cable Car or delve into the city's pulsing nightlife
Is this trip right for you?
There are several orientation walks and city tours during this trip, so there will be quite a lot of walking. It’s important to always bring plenty of water, wear comfortable walking shoes and ensure you use adequate sun protection. Wearing layers is a good way to tackle the heat.

This trip had so many amazing highlights and optional additional activities, with the Ibera Wetlands and zodiac ride under Iguaçu Falls to not be missed! Hotels were good, and the tour leader Guilherme was excellent. I would recommend this tour.

Overall, it was an amazing trip. Do yourself a favor by adding 3/5 extra days from the beginning of Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro. They are two amazing cities and lots to explore. Do your research before you travel, it would help you. Our leader Pedro was passionate, warm and communicated well in navigating this trip. The highlight of this trip was Iguazu Falls! Nothing like it on this earth!

This was my first time travelling with Intrepid and it proved to be a great experience. The itinerary provided a good balance between cities and nature destinations. I enjoyed being part of a small group from various countries that proved to be great company and broaden my understanding of people from other places. Everyday the trip proved to be thrilling and uplifting with new sights and experiences. What ultimately made the trip was our fantastic guide who so many times went above and beyond to provide us with a great time.

I want to thank Santiago for a wonderful trip, the whole trip was enjoyable and we felt like a little family by the end, nothing and no question was too much trouble and I have come away with a memorable experience I will never forget. This was my first trip with Intrepid and I went in a little hesitant, it definitely won’t be my last
