18-Nights South American Odyssey With Amazon

Triple the sights, sounds, and sizzle on this South American vacation through three of the continent’s most scintillating countries. As you samba through Brazil, tango through Argentina, and cueca through Chile, your toes will meet the liveliest of dance floors, the sandiest of beaches, and the most storied of streets. Guided visits to the vibrant cities of Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, and Santiago are perfectly balanced with quieter excursions to lush rainforests, chic waterfront resorts in Patagonia, and even a rural Argentine ranch where you can saddle a horse and be a beret-wearing gaucho for the day. Traditional open-fire barbecues and crispy empanadas are sure to satisfy your appetite for the cowboy life throughout this South American journey, while getting your fill of scenic wonder by witnessing both sides of thundering Iguassu Falls and cruising Patagonian fjords beneath the soaring peaks.

Get even more familiar with fantastic South America beside the "Meeting of the Waters" where the chocolate-hued Rio Negro flows alongside the yellowish Rio Solimões without ever mixing. You’ll also enjoy Naturalist-guided walks to see flora and fauna and spend time with a Caboclo local when you begin your tour of South America with a vacation package to Brazil’s Amazon.
