Excursions

Rio, Sugarloaf, Christ the Redeemer

£125

A full day excursion starting with a visit to the centre of the city, where you see the striking modern cathedral. Then catch the cable car up the Sugarloaf, with beautiful views of Copacabana. Look out for the monkeys in the lush tropical vegetation. After lunch at a churrascaria - a typical Brazilian steakhouse - you catch the funicular train up the 710-metre granite peak of the Corcovado to the Christ the Redeemer statue where you have incredible views of the beaches and mountains of Rio. You then drive along the beaches before returning to your hotel.

Samba Show & Dinner

£100

The rhythms of the samba, with its African and European roots, embody the vitality of Brazil. A visit to a Samba show gives you the opportunity to enjoy the incredible movement and scanty, yet elaborate, carnival costumes of the dancers. You are collected from your hotel and have dinner before the 10pm show, returning to your hotel at around midnight.

Historical Buenos Aires

£25

This half day excursion visits the principal areas of Buenos Aires, starting with the Plaza de Mayo in the centre, where you can see the Pink House, from where ‘Evita’ Peron addressed the masses. Then visit the historic area of San Telmo, and La Boca, the old port, with colourful painted houses, where the frst immigrants arrived in the city, and where locals sometimes dance tango on the streets. You also visit La Recoleta, one of the most elegant neighbourhoods of the city. The beautiful cemetery here houses the tombs of many famous Argentineans.

Tango Dinner Show

£75

Tango has had a resurgence in recent years in Buenos Aires, and a visit to a tango show allows you to appreciate the elegance and sensuality of this dance. Our excursion visits the Esquina Carlos Gardel theatre, with musicians and singers playing classic tango while professional dancers perform complicated routines on stage. A good dinner, with wine or soft drinks, is included at your table. You are collected from your hotel in the evening and taken back after the show. Alternatively, for a supplement, visit the Rojo Tango show. This slightly more risque tango is in a more intimate venue.

Argentinean Iguazu Falls

£60

A morning excursion visiting the Argentinean side of the falls. You take the visitors train to the one- kilometre walkway over the River Iguazu, where you see the mighty Devil’s Throat Falls from above. You then walk the upper circuit, from where you see many of the other falls from above, before descending to the lower circuit, where you see the falls from below. The tour lasts about 4 hours. You have free time in the area to explore some of the trails by yourself or you can also take an optional, adrenalin-flled (and drenching) boat ride to the base of the falls.
