12 Day Tour from Rio de Janeiro to Santiago
Tour Description:
Leave real life behind in Rio where the samba plays, and days turn into Tango nights with an escape to Brazil and Argentina.

Walk along Brazil’s bustling city and breathtaking beaches and chase waterfalls beside the thunderous Iguassu Falls—where Argentina and Brazil combine to create some of the world’s largest waterfalls.
