SOUTH AMERICA ESCAPE - 2009

10 days incl. air, or 8 days from Rio de Janeiro to Buenos Aires (SB)

Vacation Overview

Explore two of the great cities of Brazil and Argentina at a relaxed pace. Your trip begins with a 3-night stay in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. While here, visit 1,300 foot high Sugar Loaf Mountain and ascend a cable car to its summit. Savor spectacular vistas of the city while toasting your upcoming vacation with a favorite Brazilian cocktail. A guided sightseeing tour takes you to the cathedral and to the statue of Christ the Redeemer crowning Corcovado Mountain, a rounded peak rising 2,300 feet from the bay below. Take the scenic cog railway ride to its top for 360-degree panoramic views. Enjoy plenty of free time to relax, explore on your own, or join optional activities and tours. Next, fly to Iguassu Falls and witness the spectacular beauty of this natural wonder with its 2-mile-wide torrential downpour. Finally, spend three nights in Buenos Aires, Argentina’s vibrant capital city. Enjoy a guided walking tour at the Metropolitan Cathedral and the Cemetery of the Recoleta, the burial site of Eva Peron. Witness a flawless performance of Latin America’s most sensuous dance – the Tango! You have a full day of leisure to tour the city at your own pace or join an optional tour to the Pampas, where you experience the atmosphere of Argentine country life. With a perfect balance of guided tours and leisure time to enjoy Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires, this South American Escape is filled with vacation memories to last a lifetime.
