We are planning our next tour and it will be to Brazil
and Argentina in South America! The
10-day tour is June 19-28, 2017.
Get ready for some fun and adventure on one of our most exciting tours yet! And marvel at one of the most
fantastic waterfalls in the world…the majestic Iguazu Falls on the
Brazil/Argentina border. Highlights of
the tour include: the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, a
tour of the famous Rio beaches, boat cruise on Rio’s Guanabara Bay, samba dance
lessons, viewing the massive Iguazu Falls from two different countries, boat
ride right up to the falls, jeep tour and hike the forests surrounding the
falls and see capuchin monkeys and toucans in their natural habitat, and enjoy a
Fiesta Gaucha at an Argentine ranch to enjoy gaucho competitions, traditional
folk dances, and horseback riding.
Better yet…we will be traveling in South America’s
winter…and that’s a wonderful 80 degrees!
Rio de Janeiro will play host to the 2016 Summer Olympics…and that means
the city will still be all spruced up when we arrive in 2017.
