South America
 

Experience the essence of two South American countries on a comprehensive journey from Santiago, Chile to Argentina’s wine country and vibrant Buenos Aires.

Begin in Santiago, exploring its striking mix of colonial and modern architecture, world-class museums and the bustling Central Market, where fresh seafood becomes a hands-on lunch experience. Fly to Mendoza for two nights in Argentina’s renowned wine country, sampling Malbecs, learning about yerba mate traditions and enjoying vineyard visits with gourmet, wine-paired meals against an Andean backdrop. Continue to Buenos Aires, discovering its European-influenced neighbourhoods, powerful human rights history and lively food scene. Learn to tango like a local, explore the city at leisure and venture into the Pampas to experience gaucho culture on a traditional estancia. The journey concludes back in Buenos Aires, rich with flavour, rhythm and authentic South American encounters.
