Tour Description:
Buenos Aires is bursting at the seams with bold buildings, European energy, and bustling boulevards on this Globus Independent South American tour. Walk down the world’s widest avenue where the Colon Theater and Plaza de Mayo burst onto the scene. From the exciting enclave of La Boca to the old district of San Telmo, you can shop ‘til you drop and dine on the deliciousness of dozens of local cafes. Linger in the legendary Recoleta Cemetery—final resting place of Argentina’s famous First Lady, Evita Perón. You’ll also be treated to a lively Tango show in the passionate style of Argentine culture. Spend some free time on the Tigre River or taking a turn at making your own empanadas. Horse around with gauchos on an Argentinian estancia where ranch life is alive and kicking. Go chasing waterfalls in Iguassu National Park, where thunderous cascades plummet 300 feet into Devil’s Throat Canyon. Finally, head to a heavenly sight at the top of Rio de Janeiro’s Corcovado Mountain where the Christ the Redeemer opens His arms wide to the Brazilian beaches below. Treat yourself to a tour that is exclusively yours with free time, me time, and optional adventures that speak to your independent spirit!
