Highlights
- Spend three days at an estancia (ranch) in Uruguay, where you can spend your time getting involved learning about gauchos, riding horses or simply relaxing in the sun.
- Stop in colourful Colonia del Sacramento, where vintage cars line the streets and an old drawbridge leads to the World Heritage-listed Old Quarter.
- The mighty Iguazu Falls straddles the border between Argentina and Brazil, and you’ll cross the border to see its incredible cascades from both sides.
- Let loose and samba the night away in Rio de Janeiro – South America’s party capital. Arriving in this bustling metropolis is the perfect way to continue your South American adventure.
- You’ll have plenty of time to choose your own adventure at Ilha Grande with two full days on the island. So if hiking, boating, kayaking or lazing on a beach is your thing, we’ve got you covered.

Raymond· June 20th, 2018Lorenzo as guide in AR, UR and part of BR was superior. Natalie in BR was adequate but barely so. Accommodations, Travel and other logistics was as advertised and correctly described. The booking process/staff left something to be desired as it was not timely and questions were at best obtusely answered. I would (and am) entertaining using Intrepid again.Show more
Intrepid Travel commented on this reviewHi Raymond, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're delighted that you enjoyed your time in South America with us - such a fabulous part of the world! But we are a little disappointed to hear that you weren't 100% satisfied...

- Rrobyn· June 14th, 2014Hi did this trip as one of the four legs of the longer "South American Explorer" trip. It was excellent and I had an awesome time. It was run efficiently with lots of support for those who wanted it but the freedom to do what you want for those who don't want to be stuck with the group. The accomodation is hotels and a homestay and I thought this was very good value for money too. Overall I would say to look to see if the program suits you as you do move a fair bit, but the point of the Basix style tours is to allow you to see lots of places fairly cheaply and quickly. So if that's not what you're looking for it's not for you. It does also include overnight bus journeys. Some people hate this, but I find that the buses are very good and that it allows you to fit more into your trip. I would definitely recommend this trip to people. If you want to see photos or more details of what the trip included day to day I wrote a travel blog of all the places we visited on the tour, which you can find at: robyn-in-southamerica.blogspot.comShow moreTrip date: May 2014
- T Horst En· May 30th, 2014Before that tour I had some doubts if it's worth the money, especially when someone here wrote in his review that he did not like it (without giving any details why). But we all really enjoyed the tour and the tour guide (Gaby) was awesome! If you also are unsure about the tour, maybe some pictures I put online will help you to decide [external link removed in moderation]Show moreTrip date: March 2014
