Owing to many clients' preference for flexibility, and the variation in flight price according to season and availability, the price quoted excludes the cost of international flights, which we will happily arrange for you. Flights to Latin America can be daytime or overnight, while the return flight is always overnight, so you will need to add at least one day to arrive at the total length of your holiday.

It's to our great good fortune that some gorgeous tropical beaches and the Iguazú Falls lie halfway between two of the continent's most fascinating cities, Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires. Both are beautiful and lively but culturally couldn't be more different: explore them both.
