Saturday Feb 13th, 2010: Depart from home on your South American adventure!
Sunday Feb 14th: Begin your tour in the European-style capital of Argentina, Buenos Aires, known as "the Paris of the Southern Hemisphere." Arrive in time to opt for the San Telmo Antique Market before check-in to the Hotel Abasto Plaza****.
Tonight, enjoy a Tango Show and steak dinner (included)!
Monday Feb 15th: Sightseeing in this elegant city includes the Casa Rosada, the well-known stage for Evita Perón's plea "Don't cry for me Argentina", as well as the history-laden Plaza de Mayo. Afternoon is free. Relax in the newly-rebuilt port area Puerto Madera with its restaurants and bars, or opt to visit the Tigre Delta by boat.
Tuesday Feb 16th: Depart today for Iguazu. Upon your approach to the Airport, your pilot might tip his wings to give you the first view over the magnificent Iguassu Falls and the surrounding natural park of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. Your bilingual tour director or representative escorts you to the fabulous Hotel Mercure Internacional Foz*****. Feast on a Brazilian dinner tonight after a relaxing swim in the pool.
Wednesday Feb 17th: Today's full day excursion shows you the Iguassu Falls from both sides. First, cross into Argentina for a walk above the falls, wider and more powerful than Niagara. A boat guides you to an island to get a close-up view of the Falls from below. The mist of the Falls engulfs you on the Brazilian side, as you walk out onto a platform and into the garganta do diabo, the 'devil's throat'. Opt to the Great Adventure boat ride under the Falls on the Brazilian side.
Thursday Feb 18th: The rolling landscape on today's journey is interrupted only by mountain chains, rich farmland and patches of original subtropical forest, with the unique Araucária trees. Arrive in Curitiba, named best-organized city in South America, now a model for many Western industrialized nations! The city has grown 10-fold in the past 20 years, using innovative ideas to manage its substantial growth.
The capital of the state of Paraná is a melting pot of such diverse cultures as Dutch, Polish, Arabian, German, Ukrainian, Italian and Japanese cultures, amongst many others! Check in to the Hotel Bourbon Curitiba**** . Tonight's included dinner will give you a taste of the region's mix of cultures.
Friday Feb 19th: Morning sightseeing gives you a view of the capital, including the glass Opera House, before heading down to the coast for a stroll along the historic promenade of the Port of Antonina. After lunch, board the scenic historic railway as it winds its way from sea level up 1200m (3/4 of a mile high!) over the Serra do Mar chain back to Curitiba.
Saturday Feb 20th: Fly to Rio de Janeiro, transfer to your hotel and get settled in your hotel in Copacabana - Hotel Astoria Palace****.
After the late breakfast, enjoy today the baches nearby or relax at the rooftop pool of your hotel! The gung-ho can opt for a schooner cruise today - also very relaxing!
The panoramic view from the top of the Sugar Loaf Mountain is the highlight of today's sightseeing tour. Board a funicular to reach the summit with its 360º spectrum of golden beaches, green forests and a thriving metropolis that has earned Rio de Janeiro the title of the "world's most beautiful city". Sightseeing continues with a tour of Rio's historical past. Learn how Portugal's prince scandalously broke all family ties and declared himself Emperor of Brazil.
In the evening meet your fellow travelers for a Rodizio dinner - an All-You-Can-Eat Brazilian Barbecue (included).
Afterwards transfer to the Sambodromo for the Champion's Parade. Witness Rio's 6 best Samba Schools - the Champions of the year! Each "school" is comprised of approx. 3,000 dancers!
