Our Tango and Samba tour takes you to the two fascinating cities of Buenos Aires in Argentina and Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Both are famous for their love of dance and music, as raw and exciting as the scenery surrounding the cities. Explore the Argentinean Tango capital, home to Eva Peron, and explore its surrounds. Continue to the natural beauty of the Iguazu Falls, where the water's thundering sound creates its own dance beat. Finally, change the rhythm to a Samba in Rio, home of Sugar Loaf Mountain, Copacabana Beach and Christ the Redeemer Statue on Corcovado Mountain.
