This South America tour features three of the continent's most exciting cities—Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, and Santiago—along with Iguassu Falls and Brazil’s Amazon. At a relaxed pace, you'll enjoy guided sightseeing in each city as well as free time in Rio to sip caipirinhas and visit the famous beaches, in Santiago to people-watch at a lovely café with the snowcapped Andes Mountains as your backdrop, and in Buenos Aires to take an optional excursion to a local estancia (ranch) or a Tango show with dinner. Your guided sightseeing tours include the cog railway in Rio de Janeiro that takes you 2,300 feet up to the summit of Corcovado to view the famous Christ the Redeemer statue and 360-degree views of the city; Recoleta Cemetery, burial site of Eva Perón, in Buenos Aires; and a visit to the 18th-century Cathedral in Santiago. A highlight of this South America tour is a visit to Iguassu Falls, where you'll experience the falls on both the Brazilian and Argentine sides. Hear the thundering roar of the water and be awed by the rainbows formed in the mist. Pictures cannot do justice to these falls—they must be witnessed in person! But that's not all…you’ll also stay inside the Amazonia rainforest. You’ll cruise down the Rio Negro to the Meeting of the Waters, where the Rio Negro and Rio Solimões form the mighty Amazon. You’ll enjoy Naturalist-guided walks to see the Amazon’s flora and fauna, and a visit with native Caboclos to learn about the local way of life. From the vibrant cities to the scenic beauty, this vacation to South America will leave you with vacation memories you'll cherish for life. For savvy, value-minded travelers, it's the perfect vacation.

South America Tours Overview

An escorted tour through South America allows travelers to experience its core while being absorbed by vibrant cities, natural wonders, archaeological sites, and distinct flavors. Escorted tour itineraries through South America take passengers through small villages, lush rainforests, snow-capped mountains, and lively cultures of Argentina, Brazil, Chili, Guatemala, Peru, and more.

Travelers on a South America tour can dance the tango at a milonga (tango club), learn local farming techniques at an estancia (ranch), or try a barbecue-style meal at a parilla (grill restaurant). While driving along local roads and flying through towering mountain ranges, passengers can see red and white flamingos, animated soccer games, and numerous national parks with exotic wildlife and landscapes.

With a variety of itineraries to choose from, tour guests can enjoy the hot springs of Peru and its notable archaeological site at Machu Picchu, the canyons and caves of Brazil and its melting pot of residents, and the fauna and flora of Chili and its gigantic glaciers and fjords. Adventurous travelers can sandboard down Argentina's sand dunes, taste authentic brandy from Peru, or trek through the national parks of Chili to view expansive lakes and thundering waterfalls.

The Amazon River captivates travelers with its thriving rainforests and abundant wildlife including toucans, monkeys, pink river dolphins, and more. The Igaussu Falls also mesmerize passengers on tours with astonishing cascading waterfalls, particularly the Devil's Throat, a point where 14 separate falls come together creating jaw-dropping views.

Abundant with delectable food, lively nightlife, magnificent shopping, and inspiring landscapes, South America provides boundless opportunities for adventurous exploration and everlasting experiences.
