Detailed Itinerary

Day 1: Depart USA. Your fascinating journey begins as you depart this evening on your overnight flight to Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Day 2: Iguazú. After arrival in Buenos Aires, transfer to the national airport for your flight to the Argentinean side of Iguazú Falls. Check in at your hotel and enjoy the rest of the day at leisure to rest and take in your beautiful new surroundings. Panoramic Hotel

Day 3: Iguazú Falls. Upon seeing Iguazú, Eleanor Roosevelt exclaimed "Poor Niagara!" You'll soon discover why this UNESCO World Heritage Site is considered one of the greatest natural wonders of the world! Straddling the border of Argentina and Brazil, the Falls consist of 275 inlets and cataracts cascading down 250 feet, framed by multiple rainbows and mist that rises up to 500 feet in the air. Iguazú boasts the greatest average annual flow of any waterfall in the world.

This morning, you'll get a fantastic close-up view of the falls and their dazzling and awesome display of power. Travel through the rain forest to the most spectacular sight at Iguazú: Devil's Throat, a massive U-shaped cataract that measures 270' high, 490' wide and 2300' long.

Enjoy some free time to explore on your own. Or, take advantage of an optional nautical adventure along the Lower Iguazú River, sailing under the Falls. Later this afternoon, be sure to take time to stroll through the laid-back town of Puerto Iguazú. (B)

Day 5: Buenos Aires. After breakfast this morning, set out on a tour of the city and discover why Buenos Aires is so often referred to as "the Paris of the South." Begin at the Plaza del Mayo, the historic and political center of the city. You'll see the Casa Rosada, the presidential palace from which Juan and Eva Perón spoke to throngs of adoring Argentinians.

Continue to the Obelisk landmark on the Avenue 9 de Julio, the widest avenue in the world. Then to the crowded Florida Street, a true shopper's paradise. Pass through the colorful neighborhood of La Boca and the charming San Telmo area. Buenos Aires is a city of neighborhoods, each with its own flavor, but everywhere the people are warm and welcoming.

Admire the French architecture in the exquisite Recoleta neighborhood, including the beautiful Cemetery of La Recoleta, where Evita Perón is buried. It is one of many ironies of this complex city that Evita, heroine of the poor, is buried in the city's most elegant (and expensive) section. (B)

Day 6: Buenos Aires plus optional Tigre excursion. Today is yours at leisure to explore on your own. Or enjoy an optional tour of nearby Tigre and San Isidro. The beautiful town of Tigre, situated an island in the Paraná Delta, was first settled by Europeans and has become a fashionable weekend spot, with its grand architecture, antiques shops, riverside restaurants and pubs, a casino and a small amusement park.

Enjoy a catamaran ride through the labyrinth of islands and islets along the delta, which is lined with countless marinas and English-style rowing clubs, humble dwellings and elegant mansions from the "Belle Époque", small hotels and upscale lodges, teahouses and picnic sites.

Disembark and board the Tren de la Costa, a light rail train that connects the elegant riverfront areas. Stop at San Isidro, one of the most affluent municipalities in Argentina. Tour the town's neo-gothic Cathedral, built in 1898, and the Plaza Mitre, an historic area with cobbled streets and grand old houses. The plaza slopes down to a popular park on the Río de la Plata and hosts an antiques and crafts fair. ($27)

Tonight, take advantage of an optional dinner, complete with an exciting performance of the tango, Argentina's passionate national dance, which originated in Buenos Aires from Spanish and African influences. ($65) (B)

After a sumptuous barbecue lunch including delicious local wine, you'll enjoy a folkloric show with typical Argentine dance, song, and dress. ($63) (B)

Day 8: Bariloche. Transfer to the airport for your flight to the stunning lakeside ski resort town of San Carlos de Bariloche. Surrounded by dense forests, alpine lakes, romantic chalets, and snow-capped Andean mountains, Bariloche's idyllic scenery is reminiscent of the Swiss Alps. Check in at your hotel and enjoy the rest of the evening at leisure. Cacique Inacayal (B)

Day 9: Bariloche. Experience the unbelievably beautiful natural splendor of the Andean region on today's excursion along the popular Circuito Chico. Set out westward on Avenida Bustillo to the Península Llao Llao, home to one of Argentina's most famous and picturesque landmarks, the Llao Llao Hotel. Stop at the charming village of Colonia Suiza, where you'll have an opportunity to sample some of the town's renowned pastries at a local café. (Visit to Colonia Suiza is subject to road conditions.)

Spend the afternoon at leisure or take advantage of one of two exciting optional tours. The first takes you to Victoria Island, where you'll have the option hike north up Mount Bella Vista through a narrow path of ancient coihue and cypress trees to the Park Guard School and the Victoria Island Inn. Or, choose to hike south through the forest to view ancient cave paintings. After Victoria Island, continue to the Bosque de Arrayanes National Park, home to the rare and ancient myrtle trees. ($55)

A second optional tour takes you to Cerro Catedral, rising to nearly 8,000 feet and named after its resemblance to a Gothic cathedral.

Peru & Machu Picchu Optional Pre-Tour Extension

Take advantage of your included airfare, and choose a pre-tour extension to Peru, including Lima, Cuzco and Machu Picchu, one of the ancient world's most spectacular sites.

Day 1: Depart USA. Your exciting journey to Peru and Machu Picchu begins this evening as you depart on your overnight flight bound for Lima.

Day 2: Lima, Peru. Arrive today in Peru's diverse capital, Lima, "City of the Kings." Transfer to your centrally located hotel for breakfast.

Afterward, embark on a city tour of both modern and colonial Lima. See the Monastery of San Francisco, famous for its library and catacombs, and the historical city center, based around the beautiful and sprawling Plaza Mayor (Plaza de Armas). Lining the plaza are the grand Cathedral of Lima, the ornate Archbishop's Palace, and the Government Palace, or Casa de Pizarro.

Both the Government Palace and the cathedral were first built by Francisco Pizarro when he founded the city in 1535 to govern the conquered Incan empire (though both have been rebuilt since). Visit the fashionable districts of San Isidro and Miraflores with their beautiful parks and elegant residences facing the ocean. Return to your hotel for check-in. Sol de Oro or similar (B)

Upon arrival, travel to nearby Pisac, a picturesque Andean village with a wonderful market. Here you'll have a chance to buy locally made ponchos, sweaters and other handcrafted clothing, ceramics and hand-painted beads. Enjoy browsing the "locals" section of the market, where villagers come from miles around, dressed in their traditional clothing, to barter and sell their produce.

Continue to Ollantaytambo, located at the foot of spectacular Inca ruins which protected the strategic entrance to the lower Urubamba Valley, also known as the Sacred Valley. The temple area is at the top of a series of steep terraces which helped provide excellent defenses. Stones used for these buildings were brought from a quarry high up on the opposite side of the Urubamba river—an incredible feat involving the efforts of thousands of workers. The complex, still under construction at the time of the conquest by Spain, was never completed. Casa Andina Private Collection Sacred Valley or similar

Day 4: Machu Picchu. It's a short drive from your hotel to the Ollanta railroad station where you'll board the train that will take you through the lush Urubamba Valley, passing through stunning scenery en route to Machu Picchu, one of the most spectacular and enigmatic archeological sites in the world.

Unknown to the outside world until archeologist Hiram Bingham rediscovered it in 1911, Machu Picchu is now the most recognizable symbol of the Inca Empire. Believed to have served as a country retreat town for Inca nobility, the complex consists of giant walls, terraces, and ramps constructed from precisely cut rock formations. This impressive architectural feat, in combination with its breathtaking natural setting amidst mist-covered green mountains above the rushing Urubamba River, makes for a visually stunning, and even mystical, experience. Return to Cuzco for overnight. Casa Andina Private Collection Cuzco or similar (B)

Day 5: Cuzco. According to Incan legend, Cuzco was founded by Manco Cápac, whose golden sceptre vanished into the ground, showing him where to establish the city of Cuzco (the navel of the world). This afternoon, a panoramic tour takes you to the main sites of this impressive city.

You'll see the Plaza de Armas, center of the Inca Empire, where Francisco Pizarro proclaimed the conquest of Cuzco. Here, you'll find Cuzco's beautiful 16th century cathedral, built on the ruins of the Koricancha, an important Inca temple to the Sun God. During Inca times this temple was literally covered with gold, but within months of the arrival of the first conquistadors, this incredible wealth had all taken as treasure for Spain. (B)

Day 11: Puella & Puerto Varas. After breakfast, depart Puella, sailing via catamaran across Lake Todos Los Santos. Visit the Petrohue Falls in the Vicente Perez Rosales National Park.
