The pastel prisms of a glacier-coated fjord. The otherworldly precision of ancient Mayan stonemasons. The cloud-light softness of alpaca fiber. The colors and textures of South America dazzle the senses from one end of the continent to the other, and you'll have time to absorb them all on our extended voyages to this amazing continent. We'll take you to scintillating cities like Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro, to UNESCO World Heritage sites like Machu Picchu and Iguazú Falls, and to beaches where penguins rule in Argentina and Chile.
Buenos Aires is your gateway to Iguazú Falls, where 250 cascades plummet from twice the height of Niagara Falls. Near Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego National Park holds the ruins of an ancient aboriginal settlement. Cruise the Strait of Magellan to Puerto Montt to view snowcapped Osorno Volcano.
