Chile, Argentina & Brazil holiday, Santiago to Rio

People

In the vast metropolises of Buenos Aires and Santiago, rather than whizz you around in an air-conditioned coach, we escort you on a walking tour of the principal sights, with an emphasis on the historical cultural heritage of the capitals. You are led to appreciate how the cities grew both organically and as a result of direct human action, and what life is like now for the many inhabitants.

On this tour, there’s an opportunity to visit Chiloe with a responsible local operator. This trip includes visiting local family homes for a traditional curanto, having lunch in a local restaurant with local food and learning about the ecology and wildlife on the island – one which encourages sustainable building and responsible tourism.

We encourage passengers to enjoy the trails and look after them properly around the Lake District in Argentina instead of taking one of the numerous bus tours available.

In Parati we stay in small locally run hotels which are in keeping with the design and surroundings of the town. As it can reach high temperatures in Brazil, air conditioning if used is encouraged to be switched off while out of the rooms.
