The Essential from Tango to Samba

Buenos Aires, a city where passion and culture are present in every corner, and coexists the football fever with tango’s enthusiasm. The ideal site to delight yourself with local gastronomy; defined by the incomparable “asados”, the well-known dulce de leche and the argentinian’s preferred drink: mate. Puerto Iguazú is the famous picture postal of the Iguazú Falls, shared with Brazil, one of the Seven Wonders of the World and Natural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. A place where the native culture and jungle merge in an outstanding nature. Rio de Janeiro is a huge seaside city in Brazil, famed for its Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, 38m Christ the Redeemer statue atop Mount Corcovado and for Sugarloaf Mountain, a granite peak with cable cars to its summit. The city is also known for its sprawling favelas (shanty towns). Its raucous Carnaval festival, featuring parade floats, flamboyant costumes and samba dancers, is considered the world’s largest.
