Discover the alluring energy of Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls and Rio de Janeiro on a 7-day Premium adventure. Follow the footsteps of the Buenos Aires portenos during dinner at a local home and a lively tango dancing lesson, and weave through the city’s European influenced streets and lesser-known neighbourhoods with the guidance of a local leader. Marvel at the spectacle of Iguazu Falls from the Argentinian and Brazilian sides, then get swept up in the magic of Rio de Janeiro, from the impressive Christ the Redeemer to quirky cafes and galleries. Delight in the cultural and natural beauty of two contrasting countries.

Humza · Traveled May 2023
Great trip to see a lot in a short period of time, everything was organised and Luciano was a great tour guide who made the trip even better. I would highly recommend this trip if you want to see Argentina and Brazil and have a local experience while seeing all the main sites over 7 days. Pack you bags and passport and leave the rest to Intrepid

Robert · Traveled May 2023
Overall, trip was good. Luciano was the best part. You should consider more time in Rio (and less in Argentina). Also, there are too many flights in this itinerary. We spent too much time in airports.
