The places to visit in South America are seemingly endless, but several standout destinations should not be missed on a trip to the continent. The world’s highest waterfall, Angel Falls, is in Venezuela. The Amazon River and the Andes Mountains each expand across the continent, and the Amazon rain forest and the Atacama desert are both located in South America.

Highlights

  • Best Months to visit - August to September
  • Winter is dry and warm, becoming colder further north, while summer is ideal for beach relaxation or hiking in national parks, although it can be very hot and humid. Spring and autumn are the best times to travel, with pleasant temperatures throughout. Hurricanes can occur in the southeast during August and September.

Buenos Aires

  • Arrival at Buenos Aires airport. Transfer to your hotel. (60 minutes transfer) Buenos Aires is a complex, energetic, and seductive port city, which stretches south-to-north along the Rio de la Plata; it has been the gateway to Argentina for centuries.
  • Porteños, as the people of Buenos Aires are known, possess an elaborated and rich cultural identity. They value their European heritage highly, and the lifestyle and architecture are markedly more European than any other in South America. But the city has also spawned its own art forms, notably the tango, for which Buenos Aires is famous. 01 hour Free Tango lesson at Tango Porteño 19.30-20.30
  • Evening Tango show and dinner at magnificent Tango Porteño 20.30-23.30 vegetarian Indian menu available Tango Porteño recovers that spirit crystallized in a unique place. Magically it recreates the best and most transcendental time ever in the history of tango framed within a luxurious building of those days that used to be a movie theater of the Metro Goldwyn Meyer. The old and beloved Metro, just a few steps away from the Obelisk today becomes Tango Porteño, a place blending the most refined environment and pure golden days’ deco with great artists, unbeatable productions, and first class cuisine paying home to the represented time. It could not be otherwise because Tango Porteño is the image of Buenos Aires, the “city of Tango.”
