Upon arrival in Buenos Aires, a Lumle representative will greet you and arrange your private hotel transfer. After check-in, the remainder of the day is entirely yours—unwind after the flight or take your first steps into this dynamic capital at your own pace.

Often called the “Paris of South America,” the city blends European grandeur with a passionate Latin spirit. If exploring, begin amid the atmosphere of San Telmo—cobbled lanes, antique shops and impromptu tango buskers. Or dive into colour at La Boca’s famed Caminito Street, where bright façades and artists’ stalls set a lively scene.

Prefer a gentler pace? Stroll Puerto Madero, the chic waterfront of converted docks, leafy promenades and elegant dining rooms. Toast your arrival with a glass of Argentine Malbec and perhaps a classic asado as the sun warms the Río de la Plata.

Whether you rest or roam, tonight offers a soft-landing into the rhythm of Buenos Aires—a city that charms from the very first moment.

After breakfast, set out on an expertly guided tour designed to immerse you in the culture, history and rhythm of Buenos Aires.

Begin at Plaza de Mayo—the city’s political and cultural heart—framed by the iconic Casa Rosada, the Metropolitan Cathedral and the historic Cabildo. Continue into atmospheric San Telmo with its cobbled lanes and bohemian cafés, then on to vivid La Boca where colour-splashed façades and the famed Caminito pulse with tango and local life. Pay a reflective visit to the ornate Recoleta Cemetery, renowned for its statuary and the resting place of notable figures including Eva Perón.

Glide through the leafy parks of Palermo—the city’s green oasis—before cruising along monumental Avenida 9 de Julio, where the soaring Obelisk marks the skyline. Round off in sleek Puerto Madero, a waterfront district where converted docks, footbridges and cutting-edge dining link Buenos Aires’ past and future. The remainder of the day is at leisure to relax or explore further.

After breakfast, transfer to the airport for your flight to Puerto Iguazú, the lush gateway to one of South America’s greatest natural treasures—Iguazú Falls. More than 250 waterfalls thunder through subtropical rainforest here, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature.

Upon arrival, you’ll be met for your hotel transfer. The remainder of the day is at leisure to relax, settle in and explore your immediate surroundings—save your energy for tomorrow’s unforgettable encounter with the roar, mist and rainbows of the falls.

Spend the day discovering the Argentine side of the Iguazú Falls. Begin with the scenic Ecological Train ride through subtropical jungle to the walkways leading to the mighty Devil’s Throat (Garganta del Diablo), where water thunders into an 80 metre horseshoe-shaped chasm. Continue along elevated trails to capture sweeping views of cascades such as Dos Hermanas, Bosetti and San Martín.

Boardwalks and balconies bring you close to the mist and the roar, while the surrounding Atlantic rainforest teems with toucans, butterflies and exuberant flora. It’s a full-immersion day in the beauty and power of one of the world’s great natural wonders.

Cross the border into Brazil for a sweeping new perspective. Stroll the Iguaçu National Park walkways as the entire amphitheatre of waterfalls unfurls before you, framed by dense subtropical jungle. From elevated lookouts and broad balconies, admire long, cinematic views and feel the cool spray as arcs of rainbow rise from the gorge.

From the final platforms, witness the power of the Devil’s Throat in all its glory—thundering water, soaring mist and the roar that echoes through the canyon. The Brazilian side offers the big picture, perfectly complementing the close-up immersion of Argentina’s trails for a complete, awe-filled experience.

Fly to Rio de Janeiro, one of the world’s most captivating cities, famed for its dramatic granite peaks, vibrant neighbourhoods and infectious energy. As you approach, admire sweeping views of this iconic metropolis cradled by lush hills and sparkling bay.

Upon arrival, transfer to your hotel. The remainder of the day is at leisure to relax and soak in the Carioca spirit—take a gentle stroll in your surrounding district, pause for a refreshing caipirinha at a local café, or head to a classic lookout such as Mureta da Urca or the Sugarloaf cable car area for sunset views over the city.

Start your day at the iconic Christ the Redeemer, standing sentinel atop Corcovado Mountain. Ride up through the emerald slopes of Tijuca National Park—one of the world’s largest urban forests—and step onto the terraces for sweeping city panoramas. From the summit, pick out the Maracanã Stadium, the tranquil Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, granite peaks and the glinting coastline that frames Rio.

Descend into the city past the Sambadrome, heartbeat of Carnival pageantry, and trace broad avenues lined with modernist landmarks and leafy squares. With the remainder of the day at leisure, set your own rhythm—drift through bohemian Santa Teresa, photograph the Selarón Steps in Lapa, explore the Botanical Garden, or ride the Sugarloaf cable car for sunset light over bays and mountains.

Today is yours to explore more of Rio de Janeiro or simply unwind at your leisure. Wander the hilltop lanes of bohemian Santa Teresa, with its historic mansions, ateliers and mural-splashed stairways, or delve into local cuisine at a neighbourhood café—think feijoada, pão de queijo and expertly mixed caipirinhas.

Optional Experience — Sugarloaf Mountain Cable Car

For wide-open vistas, add an optional excursion to Sugarloaf Mountain. Ride the cable cars from Praia Vermelha to Morro da Urca and onward to the Sugarloaf summit for sweeping views over bays, granite peaks and the city skyline—especially magical near sunset.

Keep today deliberately light to rest and reset before tomorrow’s journey home. Enjoy a lazy breakfast, a quiet wander around your neighbourhood, and time to organise photos, souvenirs and travel documents. Soak up the Carioca atmosphere at an easy pace—perhaps a café stop, a leafy square, or a simple sunset viewpoint close to your hotel.

Today, transfer to Rio de Janeiro International Airport (GIG) for your flight home. As the aircraft climbs, take a quiet moment to reflect on the breathtaking landscapes, vibrant cities and unforgettable memories gathered along the way.

This journey through the heart of Argentina and Brazil has been nothing short of extraordinary—stories, flavours and encounters to last a lifetime.
