yours! Perhaps you’ll choose to

experience the lively capital by bus.

Or, for the more adventurous, you

may prefer to take in the city on an

exhilarating bicycle tour with a local

Avenida 9 de Julio; the Metropolitan

Cathedral, the former church of Pope

Francis I; Recoleta Cemetery, where

Palace, the Casa Rosada at Plaza de

Mayo; and the colorful neighborhood

of La Boca. The rest of the day is

yours to create your own adventure.

crossroads of Brazil, Argentina and

Paraguay – hailed as the most

beautiful waterfalls in the world, and

one of the Seven Natural Wonders of

the World. Board the Rainforest

Ecological Train inside the national

park on the Argentine side and walk to

the platform overlooking powerful

Devil’s Throat. Discover unparalleled

views of five waterfalls as they

plummet into the Iguazu River. Then

cross into the Brazil side and check

into your resort. Cap off your day with

a relaxing dinner. (B, D)

Day 8: Thursday, October 12, 2017 Iguazu Falls Soak up the breathtaking

views of the waterfalls from the

Brazilian side. Join your local guide as

you discover how Brazil and

Argentina have both fought to protect

the beauty and raw power of the falls

by making each side a national park.

You will see first-hand why Eleanor

Roosevelt, upon seeing Iguazu Falls,

exclaimed “Poor Niagara.” This

the 2016 Summer Olympics. Stop by

the Maracanã football stadium, which

hosted the 2014 World Cup finals,

before continuing on to the famous

Carnival parade route, the

Sambadrome. Afterward, behold the

renowned Metropolitan Cathedral

whose architecture was inspired by a

Mayan pyramid. Check into your

beachfront hotel in the exclusive

Leblon neighborhood. Learn how to

craft caipirinhas – Brazil’s famous

cocktail made with sugar cane liquor

and lime – before venturing to the

top of Sugarloaf Mountain this

evening. Then, cap the night off at Rio

Scenarium, a lavishly decorated

restaurant and music venue in the

historic Lapa district. Meet local

Cariocas, the name for people from

Rio de Janiero, for dinner, music, and

dancing that celebrates the rich history

and vibrancy of the Brazilian people.

(B, D)

Day 10: Saturday, October 14, 2017 Rio de Janiero Journey to

Corcovado by train to see Christ the

Redeemer, one of the largest Art Deco

statues in the world. Take in the

panoramic vistas of Tijuca Forest

National Park. With 360-degree views

around the city, you’ll soon realize

why this statue is one of the new

Seven Wonders of the World. Then

spend time engaging with locals at the

one of the city’s open-air markets.

Break into small groups with local

market guides as you discover and

taste over a dozen different types of

exotic fruits from Brazil. This

afternoon, you choose your activity!

Perhaps you’ll choose a behind-the-

scenes look at Carnival and meet the

artists who are designing the floats,

costumes and dances during their

year-round preparations for Rio’s

biggest event. Or, maybe you’d prefer

to join a local guide for a tour of a

favela; learn about the unique

contrasts and paradoxes of Brazilian

society as you stroll through the

community center, a school, and a

local home; relish some time for

coffee, cake and discussion with

residents. The evening is free for your

own exploration. (B)

Day 11: Sunday, October 15, 2017 Rio de Janiero Your day is at leisure

to explore fabulous Rio de Janiero on

your own. Relax by the beach at your

resort or take a shuttle to Copacabana.

Or, perhaps you’ll take an optional

tour and board a jeep for a ride

through the Tijuca forest followed by

a visit to historic Santa Teresa. Or

maybe an optional cooking class is

more to your liking — you’ll immerse

yourself in local flavors as you join a

local chef in a cooking class where

you’ll learn how to cook like a true

Carioca! Tonight, join your fellow

travelers for a farewell feast in a

typical Brazilian churrascaria.

Indulge in wine and meats slow-

roasted to perfection. (B, D)

Experience It! Iguazu Falls Iguazu Falls is one of the most impressive international borders in the world. The

falls take up nearly two miles of border between Argentina and Brazil and consist

of 275 individual cascades. The most striking section is a 350-foot high U-shaped

waterfall nicknamed “The Devil’s Throat.” It is so powerful, the spray it

generates reaches high overhead and will often create rainbows. Iguazu National

Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site. In addition to the remarkable falls, it is

surrounded by a diverse jungle ecosystem. Due to the constant spray the falls

create, the plant life is able to flourish. As a result, there are over 2,000 species of

flora and fauna in the park. In addition, there are a multitude of butterflies and

birds that thrive here, including colorful parrots and toucans.

Buenos Aires

Tigre y Delta Boat Tour $60 USD

Just 18 miles outside of Buenos Aires, discover the extraordinary ecological zone of the Parana River delta. Enjoy a

tour with a local guide on this breathtaking journey. Behold a picturesque coastline dotted with marinas, stunning

homes and riverside dwellings. Upon arrival in San Isidro, take a short trip up the Tigre. A private river excursion by

boat explores the streams and canals of this river delta. Each year, 90 million tons of sediment carried by the river

creates thousands of islands and islets crisscrossed by rivers and brooks. The natural beauty of the Tigre will amaze

you as you travel down its web of interconnecting waterways. Then head to the Puerto de Frutos, where the banks of

the Tigre River are transformed into an open-air market. The streets come alive with activity and color. Have time to

explore the market with vendors selling fresh flowers, fruit and delicious jams and honey, while others sell beautiful

handmade crafts including rustic fabrics and furniture, and accessories made in cane and willow. Join us on this day

in the countryside getting to know the natural beauty and the market culture in Argentina. Duration: Approximately

soundtrack. In Iguazu National Park, you’ll find rare and endangered species of birds, more than 700 species of

butterflies, vibrantly colored toucans, the giant river otter and the elusive jaguar. Your tour begins in an open air jeep –

trek through the heart of the forest, and for those feeling a little more adventurous, follow one of the guides along some

trails to the Salto Macuco waterfall, passing ancient trees and wild orchids on the way! Then it’s time for your

exhilarating trip on motorized inflatable boats. Mist from the thundering falls nurtures the lush flora surrounding you –

including orchids, hearts of palm trees and bromeliads – and rainbows abound. Enjoy a refreshing “waterfall shower”

as the captain maneuvers the boat to fully appreciate the scenery. From beginning to end, this rendezvous in paradise is

unforgettable. Duration: Approximately 2 hours. Transportation is included.

Rio de Janeiro

Tijuca Forest National Park and Historic Santa Teresa $75 USD

Venture into the lush Tijuca Forest National Park by open-jeep for a tour that truly showcases the spectacular

rainforest around Rio de Janeiro. Tijuca is all that remains of the Mata Atlântica (Atlantic Forest) which once

surrounded Rio. The 8,000-acre park, once stripped bare by sugar cane and coffee plantations, was replanted in 1861

and features stunning waterfalls, high peaks and verdant forest surrounding Corcovado Mountain and the Christ the

Redeemer statue. Go in search of the forest’s extraordinary wildlife and take in the natural beauty that surrounds you.

Pause at the Vista Chinesa overlook pagoda where you’ll be rewarded with inspiring views of Ipanema and

Copacabana beaches, Guanabara Bay and Sugar Loaf. Stop at one of the park’s many entrances and take a short walk

on level ground to experience this jungle up close. Then you’ll delve deeper into Rio’s fascinating history, thriving

legacy and blend of colonial classical and Brazilian Imperial elegance. Set off for a tour of the charming Santa Teresa

neighborhood, often compared to Paris’ historic Montmartre. Arrive via the historic Santa Teresa tramway, the last

Cooking Carioca Style $115 USD

Roll up your sleeves for an authentic Brazilian culinary experience! Get to know the secrets of Brazilian cuisine that

blends culinary traditions from around the globe. Set off to a local market where you’ll meet your chef and shop for

groceries for today’s cooking event. Learn about shopping in Rio, and the main staples found in any Carioca kitchen.

Then it’s time to get into the kitchen! Start off your class with a welcome drink as you enjoy an introductory

presentation about Brazilian culinary history. Learn the importance and nutritional value of manioc, or cassava, a

staple food of the indigenous culture. Following a delicious tasting of “aipim frito,” fried manioc, learn how to make a

scrumptious “batida de côco” with coconut. For the entrée, perhaps you’ll prepare an authentic Brazilian “feijoada” –

a mouthwatering black bean stew from Portuguese tradition – or “Moqueca” – a delectable seafood coconut stew

featuring the bounty of the sea. Learn how to choose the freshest ingredients and your chef’s culinary techniques to

practice at home. Your dessert will be a special surprise, but one you won’t want to miss. Of course your gastronomic

a mainstay for many surfers in the region before heading to the historic Rio Botanical Gardens. Founded by King

Santiago

Experience Santiago $199 USD

Experience the best of Santiago. Begin with a journey through the history of Chilean wine at the Viña Cousiño Macul

winery, home to the first vines in Chile. Tour their early 19th-century cellar within the heart of the city limits. Then,

sample three types of wine and discover why Chilean wine is considered to be some of the best in the world! Then it’s

off to La Chascona, the former home of the famous Chilean poet and Nobel Prize winner Pablo Neruda. Now a

museum, it has remained mostly untouched from his days there and will give you a glimpse into the life and decorating

styles of this gifted man. After a short panoramic tour of the colorful streets and lively atmosphere of the Bellavista

neighborhood, arrive at De Pablo a Violeta, an authentic Chilean dinner and folklore show. The smell of lamb roasted

over an open flame welcomes you into the restaurant, and immediately you’ll feel like family when being greeted with

drinks and warm smiles. Spend time mingling and getting to know the culture, and once the lamb is ready, it is time for

song and dance. Follow the musicians into the theater and take your seat for a delicious three-course dinner – with

unlimited wine of course. Then the show begins! Discover different styles of music and dancing from all over this

wonderful country, including Easter Island. After experiencing the cultural treasures of Santiago, you will certainly

feel like a true Chilean. Duration: Approximately 8 hours. Please note a minimum of 2 passengers is required.

Transportation is included.
