From tango to samba in South America

9 nights from £3,139 per person

From the electric streets of Buenos Aires to the golden sands of Rio de Janeiro, this South American adventure connects two of the continent’s most captivating cities with a journey through its wild, unspoiled heart. Feel the rhythm of life in the Ibera Wetlands and the roar of the mighty Iguazu Falls, all while sampling the region’s bold flavours, rich traditions, and unforgettable warmth.
  • From the moment you land in Buenos Aires, the city draws you in with its confidence and character. Take a stroll through La Boca’s colourful streets, browse vintage finds in San Telmo, and stop for a leisurely coffee in Palermo Soho. With a local leader showing you around, you’ll get a feel for how the city really lives, from the rhythm of its neighbourhoods to the everyday warmth of its people.

  • The pace slows as you head north to the Ibera Wetlands, one of South America’s most remarkable natural areas. Out on the water, you might spot capybaras, caimans, and herons as you glide past floating vegetation and open lagoons. Local guides will share their knowledge of the wildlife and landscapes, giving you an appreciation for how this ecosystem thrives.

  • At Iguazu Falls, the sound alone tells you you’ve arrived somewhere extraordinary. The sheer power and scale of the falls are unforgettable, especially when seen from both the Argentinian and Brazilian sides. A visit to a nearby Guarani community adds perspective, meeting the people who call this region home and learning how their traditions are tied to the land.

  • Your final stop is Rio de Janeiro, a city that buzzes with life. Take the cable car up Sugarloaf Mountain, visit the Christ the Redeemer statue, and stroll the length of Copacabana Beach. Evenings here are for caipirinhas by the beach and samba rhythms that spill into the streets, the perfect finale to a journey that captures the spirit of South America.
