There can’t be a better way of celebrating your impending sojourn to The White Continent, than spending a few days in Rio and taking it from there.

Eternally Cascading Beauty
Iguazu Falls
A chain of cascading wonder of nearly 300 waterfalls and cataracts 3km in expanse, the Iguazu Falls is a paradise on Earth. Situated between Brazil and Argentina, the falls can be experienced from both sides of these regions.
Taller than Niagra Falls and wider than Victoria Falls, let the power and strength of water move you, when you visit the falls and the national park around it. On a specially designed walking tour that offers unparalleled views of the massive waterfalls, experience ultimate bliss.
The View from the Other Side
Argentina
The only way that you can do justice to a visit the Iguazu falls is by getting a glimpse from both countries. Cross the Iguazu River which separates the two countries. Once in Argentina, the picturesque highway itself leads you towards the Argentine Iguazu Park. This gives you the best view of the Argentine side of the falls. Take a deep breath here and seize the opportunity to go to the very brink of the terrifying and yet beautiful Devil’s throat, Argentina’s largest falls.
Wash it all down in the evening with the finest wine that Argentina has to offer, a hearty meal set to the backdrop of an exclusive tango performance.
City of magic
Buenos Aires
Argentina’s capital city has been called the Paris of South America but it can aptly be summed up in four words – magic in a bottle. Let the porteño magic of Buenos Aires work its charm on you.
From glamorous neighbourhoods and wistful cemeteries to sprawling cathedrals and hidden little market places, there’s always something to see in this city. Visit the first settlements in the city and soak yourself in art, architecture and history that this city is always brimming with.
And this is just the Prologue!
…Or the Epilogue, depending on your choice.
The main course of this incredible experience is a visit to nature’s final frontier, Antarctica. It is the lure of this once in a lifetime journey that brings adventurers and passionate globetrotters alike, to the edge of the world.
