Suggested Brazil And Argentina Vacation Itinerary

A suggested South America travel itinerary that includes Argentina and Brazil includes Rio de Janeiro, Iguazu Falls and Buenos Aires. All three travel destinations have many exciting sites and activities to offer its visitors, some of them are obvious to the average traveler and others may not be.

One option for a day in Rio de Janeiro, once you've visited Sugarloaf Mountain and taken photos of Christ the Redeemer, is to take a full-day tour of the tropical islands near Rio. This trip is generally considered to be one of the most charming and delightful activities to do from Rio and involves an hour and a half drive through fields of banana plantations and tiny villages until you arrive at Itacurussa, a coastal village.

From Itacurussa you can embark on a schooner from the northeast of Brazil, known as a Saveiro, to explore the cool and calm waters in Sepetiba Bay. The boat stops on a deserted island where you can go for a lovely dip before continuing on to a private island to enjoy a delicious lunch buffet, served in a tranquil and rustic atmosphere. There will be time to explore this island further after lunch, either strolling along the beach, swimming is the Atlantic waters or stretching out on the beach to work on your Rio tan. Treasure hunts, Olympic games, snorkeling, and water skiing can all be arranged to enhance the fun of the tour. You'll depart on your return cruise to Itacurussa just in time to see the beautiful, pristine sunset away from the hustle and bustle of Rio city.

Iguazu Falls, located on the border between Brazil and Argentina is your next recommended stop on your way to Buenos Aires. You won't regret visiting this awesome natural phenomenon. While you are in Iguazu check out a Dinner and Folk Show featuring a full service buffet with a wide variety of salads, hot and cold dishes, desserts and an ice cream bar. While you are enjoying your dinner, you'll appreciate a live show with folk songs and dances from Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil.

Buenos Aires will be the next destination on your South America travel itinerary. There is so much to do in Buenos Aires be sure to do plenty of research. One suggested activity if you are in good physical shape is a bike tour. There is no more fun way to experience and learn your way around a new place than through an exciting tour on two wheels. You don't need to bring anything with you more than comfortable clothes, the tour will rent you the bike and a guide will show you around. In the South you can explore the city's historical, social and architectural contrasts while the north visits Retiro, Barrio Parque and Palermo Woods. If you can't choose between the two neighborhoods, do both tours. Regardless, make sure and give yourself plenty of time in Buenos Aires to enjoy all the lovely activities this city has to offer.
