A night in the nation's capital, Montevideo, prepares us for the following day’s journey through picturesque settlements and pastures before arriving in Salto.

Our visit to Brazil begins with a switch to Portuguese and a visit to the magnificent Iguassu Falls, bordering Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. Sit back and soak in the stunning beauty and raw power of Iguassu, or opt for an exhilarating boat tour into the spray of the falls. Admire colonial architecture of the seaside town of Paraty before relaxing on the beaches of Ilha Grande with a cool Caipirinha - or try surfing...
Day 16 Rio de Janeiro
Heading north along the Atlantic coast, we arrive at Brazil's ocean-side jewel, Rio de Janeiro. Few cities enjoy such a dramatic setting as Rio, whose images of the Corcovado (Christ the Redeemer) and Pao de Açucar (Sugarloaf) are synonymous with Carnival and the 'joie de vivre' embodied by the Cariocas. Enjoy the famous beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana.
