Arrive in Rio de Janeiro and check in at the chic Arena Ipanema Hotel, just steps from the beach. Ease into the city’s rhythms with a guided stroll through Santa Teresa’s colorful streets and the iconic Selarón Steps. Step into the heart of Brazil’s football culture at Maracanã Stadium, where legends have played and the energy still echoes through the stands. Sip local caipirinhas and take in the pulse of Lapa’s historic nightlife scene, where music spills onto the cobblestones and every corner tells a story.

Ride the Corcovado Train through lush Tijuca Forest to stand before the majestic Christ the Redeemer, arms stretched wide above the city. Dive deeper into local culture with a Brazilian cooking class, then explore Rio’s natural side on a private jeep safari—spotting monkeys and toucans before ascending Sugarloaf Mountain for a jaw-dropping sunset over Copacabana and Ipanema.

Savor a final morning in Rio before flying onward to your next adventure. Whether wandering the beach promenade or sipping espresso with a view, you’ll leave with the warmth of Brazil’s beauty and spirit etched into memory.

Fly north to Buenos Aires and check in at the elegant Palacio Duhau. Explore the city’s eclectic neighborhoods with a private guide, enjoy a sunset sail on the Río de la Plata, and experience Argentina’s passion with a tango lesson and a dazzling Rojo Tango show before your departure.
