A South American city that offers a lot of culture, tasty food, and picturesque cafes. Get to know Buenos Aires and how it lives up to its name of a city that never sleeps due to the dynamism of its people.
What you should know about Buenos Aires, Argentina
Representing all the outstanding Argentine women in the country´s history, Women’s Bridge has become Puerto Madero’s postcard attraction. Having been built in 2001, this incredible piece of engineering is a creation of the famous architect Santiago de Calatrava whose abstract design is also a synthesis of a couple dancing tango. Puerto Madero used to be Buenos Aires´ commercial port. Old dikes were remodeled and now serve as universities, restaurants, offices, and residences! A picturesque contrast can be found just across the canal thanks to the modern skyline of luxurious residential buildings. The natural park area was recovered and then converted into an ecological reserve back in 1986.

Day 4.Rio de Janeiro / Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

December 05th of 2025

Arrival time: 09:00 AM
Departure time: 07:00 PM

Rising above the top of the Corcovado, the Christ the Redeemer Statue is one of the Seven Modern Wonders of the World. Overlook this wonderful city from a platform located right below the 125-foot statue or hop on the cable car to the top of Pão de Açúcar and enjoy a different perspective of Rio and the monument itself. Stimulate your senses with Ipanema's and Copacabana's fabulous yet dynamic and famous beaches. If you are looking for a more chill kind of experience, head for the botanical garden that houses about 8,000 species of plants. Do you know to tune? Garota de Ipanema is the world-famous song. Bossa nova, its musical genre, is the result of a fusion between samba and jazz, which originated in Rio back in the 1950s. Speaking about food, the feijoada, a delicious stew made with black beans, pork, or beef and served with white rice and oranges is quite the meal.
You should know about Rio de Janeiro
Let us take a quick trip down memory lane! Rio de Janeiro was the first Portuguese-speaking South American city to host both the Olympic and Paralympic Summer Games back in 2016! Some of its neighborhoods have been featured in billboard films such as 1979’s James Bond, Moonraker, The Incredible Hulk, and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1. Being a city filled with rhythm and music almost around every corner, bossa nova was also originated here back in 1950 by fusing samba and jazz. If you are looking for a true Brazilian culinary experience, go ahead and have a feijoada; a traditional beef or pork dish cooked in a large clay pot served with rice, black beans.

Looking for fun? Take part in a 4x4 tour to explore the jungle and trails of lhlabela State Park or cross the island to find yourself in the secluded beach of Baia de Castelhanos.

Ilhabela’s main island, Ilha de Sao Sebastaio, is a famous place thanks to its wonderful beaches which include Castelhanos, Curral and Jabaquara. Its state park is really a marvelous jungle filled with pathways that lead you to various waterfalls along your walk. If you are interested in architecture and its different design variations, this island’s iconic style is most notable while at the Senhora d’Ajuda’s church. Craving something juicy to eat?
