| Day | Destination | Description |
| Day 1 | Buenos Aires | Enjoy an orientation walk around the cosmopolitan city streets of Buenos Aires. Otherwise, a night learning tango steps from local residents in a musical milonga is sure to entertain. |
| Days 2-4 | Iguazu Falls | Tropical flowers bloom around the majestic Iguazu Falls and the sky is filled with toucans, parrots and butterflies. The cloud of mist above the falls catches the sun to create huge rainbows. All these elements - and the gushing waters themselves - make this a spectacular destination. It is possible to take a helicopter ride right over the top of the falls, for a unique perspective on this wild natural wonder. |
| Days 5-6 | Parati | Explore the old Portugese port town of Parati, strolling around its cobblestone streets, little boutiques and art galleries and visit the flourishing courtyard gardens of the colonial buildings. A boat trip to nearby islands is a relaxing way to spend the day and an excellent chance to swim in the temperate waters of the bay. |
| Days 7-8 | Rio de Janeiro | There is plenty to see and do in heaving Rio de Janeiro. Why not take a trip to the lime-green fairytale palace of Iha Fiscal, visit the planetarium or stroll through the Nocturnal House at the environmentally-conscious Jardin Zoologico to view South America's creatures of the night. If museum-hopping sounds like a great way to pass the day, there are many to choose from here, dedicated to a wide variety of interests - from Brazilian folk art to Carmen Miranda. |
