What's Included?
Day 0 (MAR 20): Buenos Aires, Argentina
Often hailed as the "Paris of South America," Buenos Aires enchants with its blend of European elegance and Latin American vibrancy. As a sister city to global hubs like Moscow and Miami, Buenos Aires wears its rich cultural heritage on its sleeve. Its architectural diversity is a testament to a past deeply rooted in both the Old and New Worlds, offering a visual narrative that spans centuries and continents.
Day 1 (MAR 21): Ushuaia, Argentina
Once deemed too harsh for European settlement, Ushuaia's rugged beauty was the realm of its native inhabitants - the Yahgan People. Today, it holds the distinctive title of being the southernmost city on Earth, often referred to as "the end of the world." Situated along the banks of the Beagle Channel, Ushuaia unveils itself like an artist's masterpiece. A mosaic of vibrant houses adds a splash of color against the dramatic backdrop of snow-capped mountains. Dominating this breathtaking panorama is Monte Olivia, its jagged peaks soaring 4,530 feet above the landscape. The terrain transforms from dense forests of Southern beech trees at sea level to alpine ecosystems as you ascend. Thanks to its strategic location and proximity to the Antarctic Peninsula, Ushuaia has earned its status as the gateway to the Great White Continent. Yet, Ushuaia is more than just a stepping stone to Antarctica. It's a treasure trove of natural history, indigenous heritage, and the spirit of exploration. From embarking on awe-inspiring treks in the nearby Tierra del Fuego National Park to delving into the rich narratives at "The End of the World" museum, Ushuaia promises a plethora of experiences that cater to the curious and the adventurous alike.

This exclusive sanctuary invites you to indulge in the ultimate luxury of seclusion, with bespoke experiences tailored to immerse you in the breathtaking landscapes and rich biodiversity.
Day 8 (MAR 28): Puerto Madryn, Argentina
Puerto Madryn is a port on the northern Atlantic coast of Patagonia, tucked on the Golfo Nuevo bay between Peninsula Valdés and Punta Ninfas. It is famous for the southern right whales that frequent the bay between May and December, and for the prolific wildlife on Peninsula Valdés, including penguins and elephant seals, along with right whales and the predatory orcas. It is a display of unspoiled nature that you will never forget. Alternatively, a trip south to Trelew and Gaiman in the heart of the Welsh colonial community of Patagonia can include a visit to the interesting Paleontological Museum with displays about the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Cueva de los Manos with artifacts and depictions of life here 13,000 years in the past.
Days 9-10 (MAR 29-30): Days at Sea
Day 11 (MAR 31): Montevideo, Uruguay
Tucked between Brazil and Argentina, the Republic of Uruguay decidedly holds its own with unique traditions and identity. Despite being South America's second smallest nation, Uruguay feels like a vibrant city enveloped by expansive ranchlands. Often dubbed as the "Switzerland of South America," Montevideo mirrors Switzerland's discreet banking system.

The harbour of Rio de Janeiro, cradled by the southern contours of Guanabara Bay under the majestic shadows of Corcovado and Sugarloaf mountains, is one of the world's most unique and awe-inspiring ports. As you approach by sea, Sugarloaf Mountain is your welcoming beacon, inviting you to experience the exhilarating cable-car ride to its summit for a panoramic view of the city and its famed beaches: Copacabana, Tijuca, Ipanema, and Leblon. Rio de Janeiro vibrates with the rhythm and vitality of its renowned Carnavál Sambadrome parades, regardless of when you choose to visit. The city enjoys UNESCO World Heritage status, recognized as the "Carioca Landscapes, Between the Mountain and the Sea." Your exploration of Rio wouldn't be complete without visiting certain landmarks: the ascent to Sugarloaf, the lush Tijuca Rainforest Park, the towering Christ the Redeemer statue on Corcovado, and for football aficionados, the legendary Maracanä Stadium.
