Whether you’re starting your South American journey up in Peru and Ecuador, or heading up from Argentina, Rio de Janiero is the perfect place to wrap any adventure. Backed by Guanabara Bay and surrounded by the slopes of Sugarloaf and Corcovado, the capital of Brazil is unlike any other city. With these tours to Rio, get lost in the passion that radiates from the city’s residents, hit the iconic beaches like Copacabana, climb up to Christ the Redeemer, and head out to hit the dancehalls. Rio is packed with things to do, but the likes of Ilhe Grande and Paraty are also just a short journey away.

Best of Brazil

This was my first Intrepid trip and I was very pleased! I now want to book more trips. I recommend adding a day or two at the end to explore Rio in more depth. I also wish there was an extra day in each Paraty and Ilha Grande because there was so much to see and do! Overall an excellent trip.

This is a fantastic trip that gives a superb overview of life in both Argentina and Uruguay (we spent very little time in Brazil and really none at all in Rio). Luciano was a wonderful group leader and the group gelled (sp?) well and quickly. We had a blast! Herding cattle on horseback at the ranch and wandering through the rainforest at Iguazu and getting soaked in the boat ride there were highlights for me. There are some very long travel days but it was worth it. Again, no time in Buenos Aires nor in Rio so just know that and add a few days (or the Buenos Aires Short Break and Rio Short Break that Intrepid offers). Otherwise you’ll miss the gem that is Buenos Aires and iconic Rio de Janeiro. Enjoy!!

Great trip which covers off a lot of amazing places to visit over 3 countries in a short space of time. Good range of optional activities but be aware there isn’t a lot of time in Buenos Aires or Rio so would suggest booking an extra day(s) either side.

The tour of Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil was absolutely fantastic. Our tour guide, Santiago, was amazing. The entire experience was incredible and I'd highly recommend this tour!

Premium Highlights of South America
Michael · Traveled March 2024
The Premium Highlights of South America has a balanced itinerary with a mixture of historic Inca culture in Peru, and in particular Machu Picchu whch was fantastic, and the more modern history of Chile, Argentina and Peru. Team Leaders were excellent, well organised with a wealth of local information. Definitely a recommended trip.
