You'll climb through Rio by cog railway towards Christ the Redeemer, rising above forested slopes as the city stretches between mountains and the Atlantic below. At Iguassu Falls, cool spray catches your skin and the thunder of water grows louder as immense cascades plunge into the gorge before you cross into Argentina. In Buenos Aires, tango beats spill through the city, steak sizzles over the grill and the traditions of gaucho life draw you into a world of fire, flavour and fiercely held passions.
Iconic Experience
- Corcovado: Climb into the clouds to the top of Corcovado Mountain to visit the iconic Christ the Redeemer. You’ll ride the Corcovado Railway, the first electrified railroad in Brazil, and an icon itself. The railway is actually older than the monument and even transported the pieces of the monument. The train has taken popes, kings, princes, presidents, artists, scientists - and now you - since its start in 1884. You’ll feel good about your travels too knowing that this electric train doesn’t pollute the surrounding Tijuca National Park. As you ascend 2,379 feet, consider the history of Christ the Redeemer built from 1926-1931, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, and one of the most famous Art Déco sculptures. Gaze out the window at the views of the Rio de Janeiro and, at the top, stand beneath the famous statue’s feet looking up to its top of 98 feet high.
- Board the open-sided Ecological Jungle Train for a quiet ride through Iguazú National Park’s subtropical rainforest. Moving gently along the tracks, you’ll feel the warm air and hear the forest around you as the train carries you towards Devil’s Throat Viewpoint.
- Buenos Aires: Embark on a Buenos Aires City Tour with a Local Specialist. Walk through the wide boulevards of this beautiful capital admiring the spirit of a city whose European and Latin American influences can be seen around every turn. See the pink palace, the seat of the Argentine national government and president's office whose balcony Juan and “Evita” Perón addressed the people in the 1940s and 1950s. Visit the cathedral and wander through the lively and colourful La Boca neighbourhood lined with restaurants, street artists and local art around every corner.
