Our 32-day adventure exploring the true faces of Brazil, Argentina and Chile begins in Manaus, the capital and commercial hub of the Amazonas region in Brazil. We glide up one of the largest rivers in the world, the mighty Amazon, and through the largest rainforest on the planet; exotic, dream-like sceneries make this portion of the tour an experience never to be forgotten. We travel to the Pantanal, wherein lies the greatest concentration of wildlife in South America, then on to Rio de Janeiro, whose attractions are so great in number and quality that we need a few days to explore them.
En route to Iguazu Falls, where we cross into Argentina, we travel along winding roads in beautiful hill country and visit quaint colonial towns. We fly to Buenos Aires to see the numerous sights of interest in this glittering, cosmopolitan city, whereupon we turn south and head for the desolate, glacier-riddled Patagonia to witness the natural world at its best. From sub-Antarctic rainforests, through breathtaking vistas of fjord-like lakes and streams, and to the slopes of gargantuan glaciers and icebergs, our tour through Argentina leaves no topographical feature unexplored. We then cross into Chile and drive to the wondrous Torres del Paine National Park, perhaps the finest national park on the continent, before traveling to cities and villages at foothills of the magnificent Andes to enjoy colourful markets and sights. We end our tour in the lively Chilean capital city, Santiago.
