Pre Extension: Iguassu Falls, Brazil

Extension Image
$1,399 PER PERSON | 4 DAYS | $349 PER DAY

Before your Antarctica exploration, why not cross another incredible natural wonder off your bucket list, and add another country (Brazil) to your passport? Travel to spectacular Iguassu Falls National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of 275 thundering falls on the border of Brazil and Argentina. Second in size only to Victoria Falls, this series of cataracts once prompted Eleanor Roosevelt to take pity on her country’s most famous falls, saying “Poor Niagara!” as she gazed upon mighty Iguassu. The falls are all impressive, but the most spectacular is the Devil’s Throat, the 2,300-foot-long spectacle that separates Argentina and Brazil.

Your Price Includes:

  • Included flights: 1 domestic flight from Iguassu Falls to Buenos Aires
  • Accommodations: 3 nights near Iguassu Falls National Park at the First Class Bourbon Cataratas Resort (or similar)
  • 6 meals: 3 breakfasts, 1 lunch and 2 dinners
  • 2 included features:visit both the Brazilian and Argentinean sides of the falls
  • Samba Show
  • All transportation while on tour
  • All transfers and baggage handling while overseas, beginning at our hotel
  • Services of a City Host and a regional expert
  • Tipping for drivers and local guides (excluding City Host)
  • Complimentary Vantage Deluxe Concierge Service to plan celebrations, activities, or provide regional expertise. Log into My Portfolio and submit a request, or send an email any time up to two weeks prior to your departure at Concierge@vantagetravel.com
