Buenos Aires, Iguazu with extension to Rio de Janeiro

Known as the “Paris of South America,” Buenos Aires is an elegant city full of artistic flavor.

They’re always ready to tango in the capital, but when things slow down, look out for the bohemian spirit that colors the La Boca neighborhood. And with 275 thundering waterfalls awaiting you beyond city limits, you can always trade cosmopolitan flair for the awe-inspiring power of nature.
