Argentina & Brazil Adventure

Your adventure starts today inside one of the most legendary destinations in South America... Argentina's capital, Buenos Aires. Arrive at any time before meeting your group and trip leader for the first time later this evening. Get ready to experience the magic of Buenos Aires!

Buenos Aires is nicknamed the "Paris of South America" for a reason.
