  • Day 1

    Campo Grande to Pantanal

    Arrive at Campo Grande International Airport (CGR). The journey into the Pantanal covers 142km - 100km on paved roads and 42km on the rugged Transpantaneira Highway. Book morning flights to avoid the afternoon heat and spot more wildlife during your transfer. The Transpantaneira's bumpy road offers great stops to photograph caimans and capybaras.

    
  • Days 2-4

    Pantanal Wildlife Experience

    Stay at a riverside lodge and spend three full days exploring the Pantanal. Start your mornings horseback riding through flooded grasslands where you'll get better wildlife views from up high. Take afternoon boat tours on the Claro River to look for giant river otters and various bird species. You can try piranha fishing from the deck or join night safaris to find nocturnal animals like ocelots. Pack quick-dry clothes since the humidity stays high all year.

    
  • Day 5

    Pantanal to Manaus

    Head back to Campo Grande for your flight to Manaus, your gateway to the Amazon. Spend the afternoon walking through the historic center and visiting the beautiful Amazon Theater. Stay near Largo São Sebastião square to easily walk to restaurants and see the Meeting of the Waters.

    
  • Days 6-8

    Amazon Rainforest

Daily activities include: - Early morning canoe trips for bird watching - Guided jungle walks to discover medicinal plants - Visits to local ribeirinho communities - Night trips to spot caimans - Piranha fishing in Tracajá Lake Pack light, long-sleeved clothes in neutral colors to improve your chances of seeing wildlife.

  • Days 1-3

    Buenos Aires, Argentina

    Spend your first three days exploring the sophisticated Argentine capital's diverse neighborhoods. "The combination walking, bus and subway tour with Gisela was excellent - her 30 years of experience really showed in her knowledge of the city." Start in modern Puerto Madero before wandering the historic cobblestone streets of San Telmo. Consider booking a tango show at El Querandi for $92. Previous guests loved the "outstanding three-course dinner with wine and professional performance."

    
  • Days 4-5

    Iguazu Falls

    Catch a morning flight to Puerto Iguazu. A tip: pack light since checked bags cost $35 per flight. Visit both the Argentine and Brazilian sides of the falls. "The Argentine side has more falls but direct sun exposure, while the Brazilian side offers better panoramic views and shaded walkways." Start with the Argentine side ($144 including lunch and border crossing) followed by the Brazilian side next day. You'll definitely get wet so bring rain gear.

    
  • Days 6-9

    Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

    Take a 2.5-hour flight to Rio and stay near Copacabana Beach. Your full-day tour includes Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain. Going early helps avoid crowds and hazy views. Many visitors recommend adding the Ginga Tropical samba show with rodizio dinner. One guest noted: "The Arena Copacabana Hotel's location is perfect - you're surrounded by beach bars with live music, yet it feels very safe."

    
  • Day 10

    Departure

    Hotels typically have 11am checkout but will store your luggage for later flights. Spend your final morning at the beach or shopping.
