What's this trip about?

    Craving adventure that speaks to your independent spirit? From the rumble in the jungle to the rhythm of the samba, this Globus Independent tour in the Brazilian Amazon, Rio de Janeiro, and Buenos Aires is a step in the right direction. And, while it takes two to Tango, it only takes you to choreograph the perfect way to spend your day with the I-time you deserve. Start the fun with a trip to the wilds of the Brazilian Amazon. Touch down in Manaus, gateway to Brazil's Amazon, for a private, guided sightseeing tour with a local expert to envision the rubber boom days. Stand at the “Meeting of the Waters” where the chocolate-hued Rio Negro flows side by side with the amber Rio Solimões. Meet monkeys, catch piranhas, and explore a native caboclo village in the breathtaking Brazilian Amazon. Next, discover how Rio sizzles with Brazilian barbecue, beaches, and bustling nightlife, and a breathtaking view atop Corcovado Mountain where the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue stands watch. More fun awaits in Buenos Aires, bursting at the seams with bold buildings, European energy, and bustling boulevards. Walk down the world’s widest avenue where the Colon Theater and Plaza de Mayo burst onto the scene. From the exciting enclave of La Boca to the old district of San Telmo, you can shop ‘til you drop and dine on the deliciousness of dozens of local cafes. Linger in the legendary Recoleta Cemetery where Argentina’s famous First Lady Evita Perón rests in peace, and then join the land of the living with a lively Tango show. Spend some well-deserved I-time on the Tigre River or take a turn at making your own empanadas. Horse around with gauchos on an Argentinean estancia where ranch life is alive and kicking. Bust out of the ordinary with a Brazil and Argentina vacation for the ages! With the freedom to fill your free time with Latin flair and adventure, you’ll be swaying to the samba in no time!
