Sorry! There are no remaining departures for "Atlantic to the Andes Experience" (SXRL), but here are some similar trips.
Dense rainforests, the towering peaks of the Andes, the seemingly endless and reflective salt flats — when we say the range of scenery on this 25-day tour is dizzying we’re not embellishing. Begin in Rio de Janeiro and head west where Iguassu Falls and an array of active activities you can do on your own during free time. Discover the wildlife of the Pantanal wetlands and climb aboard some local buses to see how to get from point A to B South American style. It’s not just where you stop that matters, it’s how many life-changing moments you’ll have along the way.
All of the highlights, culture, access, and I-can’t-believe-we-did-that moments, all at a great price.
