A great trip to experience the key highlights of Argentina and Brazil, and a mix of urban, cultural, historical and nature adventure. My tour leader Luma was an enthusiastic ambassador for her homeland and all the local guides were fantastic as well to help you experience the most from this trip.

Overall, the trip was good. I felt the hotels could have been a bit nicer -- I would rank them a 3.5 star. Also, airplane seating assignments were in the back of the plane and it would have been nice to have them at the front of the plane.

Highly recommend Intrepid Travel who deliver an excellent service. The whole experience was well worth while. Very informative and we had a great Group Leader in Sebastian. The group size (12) was ideal with a good variation in terms of nationality and age.

Shane - Traveled, November 2023
This tour covered some of the more interesting highlights of Brazil and Argentina in a quick and action-packed way. If you're looking to see the points listed on a tighter schedule, I would recommend this one. You will get a sufficient experience seeing both sides of Iguaco Falls, with Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro on either side of that. Including travel time and the fact that the first/last days of the tour are hellos and goodbyes, you really only get about 1 full day in each of those cities. So if you really want to see them more, I would recommend adding some personal time before/after the tour. You will get lots of food/activities and good accommodation throughout the tour and I personally really liked my group/leader, so if you want to spend a week seeing south Brazil/north Argentina this is good choice.

As a first time Intrepid Traveller I was just so impressed with the offering and the level of care shown by Andres who was our guide. I have recommended South America with Intrepid to so many of my friends.

Great trip to see a lot in a short period of time, everything was organised and Luciano was a great tour guide who made the trip even better. I would highly recommend this trip if you want to see Argentina and Brazil and have a local experience while seeing all the main sites over 7 days. Pack you bags and passport and leave the rest to Intrepid.

Overall, trip was good. Luciano was the best part. You should consider more time in Rio (and less in Argentina). Also, there are too many flights in this itinerary. We spent too much time in airports.

Great experience using Intrepid in Premium Argentina/Iguazu/Rio especially thanks to our exceptional guide Andres Helmfelt. Really felt immersed in the culture, food, history & local communities with their approach and itinerary. Loved this small group experience. It was like being with a dear friend who could offer you unique local experiences that were tailored to your interests or requests. A welcome dinner at someone's home & tango lessons at a master teacher's home studio were just a few highlights of our trip. Heard great things about Intrepid before and now can highly recommend! Cant wait to plan our next trip with Intrepid
