11 days Discovering Rio de Janeiro Iguassu falls & buenos aires

This 11-day trip combines two of the world’s great cities in Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires, linking them with a visit to Iguassu Falls, arguably the world’s most impressive waterfalls

Few cities stir the emotions like Rio de Janeiro. The world capital of samba brings together beaches, hopping nightlife, a rich history, and jaw-dropping views that see it dubbed ‘The Marvelous City.’ A city tour takes you through the downtown, where you’ll see the famous Sambadrome, the Metropolitan Cathedral, storied Cinelandia with its many grand theatres, and the National Museum of Fine Arts. A highlight is undoubtedly the Corcorvado, where Christ the Redeemer gazes out over the city. Take the historic cog railway to the summit and snap a photo (arms outstretched or not, it’s entirely up to you). The following day, visit Rio’s other great view, from Sugar Loaf Mountain, reached via one of the world’s first cable car systems. Of course, Rio is a huge city with lots to explore, so you’ll have a full day at leisure to relax, enjoy the beaches, or head into historic neighbourhoods like Santa Teresa and Lapa.
