Day 1: Touchdown in São Paulo (Brazil)
South America's calling! Our adventure begins in Brazil's biggest city, famed for its street murals and artsy vibes. Meet your new travel crew and group leader tonight, as we get to know São Paulo.
Day 2: São Paulo to Iguazú Falls
Rise and shine! We have waterfalls to chase, and there's nothing more jaw-dropping than *the* Iguazú Falls. Split across Argentina and Brazil, it's a total stunner from emerald jungle to insane heights. Hop on a flight, before heading to the Brazilian side of the falls... Argentina's side may win on scale, but Brazil is where you'll get the best pictures!
Day 3: Iguazú Falls
Get lost in the beauty of Iguazú Falls! First up is Devil's Throat, a giant cascading waterfall with a drop that's over 80 metres long. Then explore the rainforest trails of the Circuito Superior, feeling the mist with viewpoints at every turn. Now that you've experienced Iguazú Falls in all its glory, we'll learn about its indigenous history. Meet members of the Jasy Pora community, learning all about native forest life and what makes yerba mate (a traditional tea) so special.
Day 4: Iguazú Falls to Mercedes (Uruguay)
Another stamp in your passport is coming up soon, as today we journey down south. Grab your snacks and have your road trip playlist downloaded, as we travel overnight to the Argentine town of Gualeguaychu. Next stop, Uruguay!
Day 5: Traditional ranch stay
Give a warm welcome to Uruguay, and the traditional Gaucho ranch where we'll spend tonight. Arrive later this morning, enjoying lunch before an action-packed afternoon. Go horseback riding, then roll up your sleeves as we make empanadas from scratch. Tonight, enjoy sunset views before digging into a home-cooked dinner.
Day 6: Colonia del Sacramento
Picture cobbled streets lined with purple trees, historic city gates, old vintage cars, and ocean views. You'll fall in love with Colonia del Sacramento at first sight, Uruguay's most iconic UNESCO-listed town. Discover it as you like, with free time to wander its laneways and see what's on at the Plaza de Toros.
Day 7: Colonia to Buenos Aires (Argentina)
It's time. One of South America's most iconic cities of all time is calling. Buenos Aires is electric and alive, with more personality than most capitals could ever dream of. Tango dancing on the streets, iconic bookshops, fútbol games, unreal food, and the best nights out of your life? You know it! With this much variety, you'll be the ones calling the shots today.
Day 8: Buenos Aires
Wake up in one of our favourite cities in the world. Let's discover Buenos Aires' most famous highlights. Hit up the rainbow streets of El Caminito, tick off the Teatro Colón, and visit the stunning La Recoleta Cemetery. Enjoy free time to immerse yourself in Buenos Aires' energy. Now, as for tonight... How about an optional tango class and show?
Day 9: Finish in Buenos Aires
