Argentina & Brazil (Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls, Rio de Janeiro)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Argentina and Brazil together form one of South America's most iconic multi-country routes, combining the cosmopolitan energy of Buenos Aires — famous for tango, steak, and its European-influenced architecture — with the raw natural spectacle of Iguazu Falls, one of the world's largest and most dramatic waterfall systems straddling the Argentine-Brazilian border. Rio de Janeiro caps the journey with its legendary beaches at Copacabana and Ipanema, the towering Christ the Redeemer statue, and a vibrant carnival culture that draws millions each year. Travellers make this trip for the sheer variety: world-class cities, wildlife-rich rainforest, and breathtaking landscapes all within a single itinerary.

Self-Launched Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls & Rio: The DIY Version of Intrepid's "Best of Argentina & Brazil"

A 7-day self-launched version of Intrepid's 7-day "Best of Argentina & Brazil" group tour — same three headline stops (Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls on both the Brazilian and Argentine sides, and Rio de Janeiro), but assembled independently at a fraction of the price. You'll swap the group leader and private coaches for local city buses, the overnight/evening low-cost flight from Buenos Aires to Foz do Iguaçu, cheap local buses to the falls entrances, and self-bookable guided options via GetYourGuide/Klook where a guide genuinely adds value (the Buenos Aires free walking tour, the falls boat ride). Highlights: La Boca and Recoleta Cemetery in BA, a day on each side of Iguazu, a Guarani community visit arranged locally, Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf at sunset in Rio. Costs are realistic backpacker/mid-hostel estimates in GBP, per person, excluding international flights.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Argentina & Brazil (Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls, Rio de Janeiro) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
