Buenos Aires, Copacabana, Iguazu Falls, Rio de Janeiro

Highlights

  • Buenos Aires offers an eclectic mix of European, Cosmopolitan and Latin flavours, as well as a booming cultural and nightlife scene. Explore the neighbourhoods of this lively, confident city on a full-day tour with a local guide.
  • Look for rainbows in the mist from both the Brazilian and Argentinian sides as you marvel at the power of Iguazu Falls which are higher than Niagara Falls and wider than Victoria Falls.
  • Visit a local Guarani community to meet some of the region’s few remaining indigenous people and learn how the falls were created when the serpent god M’Boy split the river in half.
  • Gaze over the dazzling city, mountains and bay of Rio de Janeiro from the foot of the famous Christ the Redeemer statue and immerse yourself in Brazilian culture, dance and music.
  • Get hands on making empanadas or pizzas for lunch, followed by the quintessential Argentinian sweet treat – alfajores.

What travelers are saying

"I did the EBC trek with Intrepid in September and October. Our group missed the first 3 days of the planned 12 day trek due to bad weather. There was a real fear we would not be able to do the trek at all. Intrepid sorted out additional accommodation and flights once we were able to fly. Our group made it to EBC by missing the 2 acclimation days on the accent and descending in 3 days instead of 4. This was only possible because of the awesome staff (guides and porters) employed by Intrepid and by Intrepid's backroom staff making alternative accommodation and flight arrangements for us."

"Rick was really helpful and patient. He explained things clearly, was happy to answer questions. It is a long time since I last travelled solo but I felt confident that Rick understood what I wanted from the trip and reassured me."

  • Explore elegant architecture, political history in spades and hilly neighbourhoods dotted with terracotta roofs – Sucre might be Bolivia’s most beautiful city.
  • Take an unforgettable 4WD adventure across the Salar de Uyuni – some of the largest salt lakes in the world. Pass cactus islands, train cemeteries and mineral lakes teeming with flamingos.
  • The giant desert inscriptions of the Nazca Lines are one of Peru's great unsolved mysteries, and so is the lost Inca city of Machu Picchu. You’ll experience both your own way, with a range of options to choose from.

Rio De Janeiro Tour Selection Trips

  • Rio is a lot safer than many people think. But be aware of your surroundings, don’t wander into a favela alone, and don’t have a lot of expensive gadgets on display. 
  • Sunset-watching is a popular activity in Rio, so grab a spot along the beach, grab a caipirinha or two, and join in the applause as the sun goes down.
  • Though the favelas are dangerous places for tourists to enter alone, they are a fascinating part of the city. Joining a tour is a safe and easy way to explore this other site to Rio.
  • There are many wonderful viewpoints, where you can take in an outstanding view of the city (Christ the Redeemer, the Sugarloaf, and Dos Hermanos are among the most famous). Be sure to leave as early as possible to beat the heat and the crowds.
  • Be very careful with your belongings on the beach. Don’t bring anything of value, and consider bringing a waterproof pouch so you can keep your money on you at all times. 
  • The summer months (December to February) can be unbearably hot and rainy, so it’s best to travel outside these months. 
  • Be prepared for the price of just about everything to rise steeply during the week of Carnival.
