This popular tour travels from Ecuador's bustling capital city, all the way to the tropical climates of the party town of Rio. Crossing the equator we travel south through the Andean mountain range. Along the way we'll discover jungles and towering volcanoes, colonial towns and arid deserts, ancient cultures and Pacific-lapped beaches. Heading south, the landscapes change to reveal snowcapped peaks and glaciers, ancient forests and gleaming lakes of the wild region of Patagonia. As we continue up the east coast of Argentina, we go in search of wildlife out on the Valdes Peninsula and discover Tango in Buenos Aires. The landscape, climate and people change again as we cross the border into Brazil at the might Iguazu falls: we'll discover beautiful beaches and a different rhythm of life. So if you are looking to gain an insight into the many faces, cultures and landscapes of South America, this is the tour.
Please note that the initial Patagonia itinerary may be subject to modification depending on the Navimag ferry schedule.
