Travel story
Enjoy Iguazu Falls from both the Brazilian and Argentine sides and experience the overwhelmingly vast scenery.
You will also cross the border to visit Paraguay, where you can encounter local culture and daily life not usually experienced on typical South American trips.
In Rio de Janeiro, in addition to the classic attractions, you will visit a favela guided by the local community.
A Japanese-speaking guide accompanies you, so you can deepen your understanding of history and culture and enjoy sightseeing with peace of mind.
This special itinerary lets you encounter the diverse charms and depths of South America beyond just the standard spots.
Signature points
A colossal waterfall approached from both sides
On the Brazilian side you can take in a grand panorama of Iguazu Falls and feel its overwhelming scale.
On the Argentine side you can enjoy the thrilling experience of getting up close to the falls, including "Devil's Throat", where you can almost feel the spray.
By touring the falls from two countries and seeing their different faces, you can appreciate the power of Iguazu even more deeply.
You can also add optional activities such as helicopter sightseeing or excursions that get close to the waterfall basin upon request.
Discover both sides of Rio over two days
In Rio de Janeiro you will visit classic landmarks such as Christ the Redeemer on Corcovado, Sugarloaf Mountain, and Copacabana Beach. You will also explore places that reflect the city’s history and culture, such as the Selarón Steps, Santa Teresa, and the Portuguese Royal Library.
This plan’s appeal is that it allows you to take two days to thoroughly explore Rio, which can be rushed in a single day.
From breathtaking views and city walks to beaches and historic architecture, you can enjoy Rio’s multifaceted character.
Cross borders to encounter the real South America
While staying at Iguazu you will cross the border into Paraguay to visit Ciudad del Este, Mondau Falls, and Japanese immigrant settlements.
In Rio, you will also tour a favela with a local community–led tour that is not usually part of standard sightseeing.
This journey lets you experience not only beautiful scenery but also the lives and culture of the people who live there.
It’s a special itinerary that allows you to not just "see" South America but to "know" it a little more deeply.
