Beaches, Falls & Glaciers - Overland Trip

7 ½ weeks: Rio de Janeiro to Santiago (KU-SA029)

Discover the full diversity of Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina and Chile whilst travelling from the tropics to the end of the earth, the last stop before Antarctica. Enjoy views of the Christ statue, one of the 7 Wonders of the World, and go in search of wildlife in the Brazilian Pantanal. Marvel at the thundering Iguazu Falls and soak up the culture in Buenos Aires and Santiago. Be amazed at Patagonia’s breathtaking landscapes and fascinating wildlife: the haunting plains and snow capped volcanoes, not forgetting turquoise lagoons set against a dramatic backdrop of jagged, granite peaks, on this amazing 51 day adventure to some of the remotest and unspoilt parts of our planet.
