| Details | | Intrepid Travel | | | | Day | Destination | Description | | Day 1 | Buenos Aires | Discover the barrios (neighbourhoods) of Buenos Aires, like the football-crazy district of La Boca, with its atmospheric pedestrian walk, local artists and great cantinas. | | Day 2 | Colonia | Ride a ferry across the Rio de la Plata to Uruguay and to the impossibly cute Colonia. Indulge in its many restaurants and enjoy the great river views. | | Days 3-4 | Montevideo | Head to the Mercado del Puerto for food, to hang out with local musicians and enjoy the relaxed vibe in this laid-back capital city. There are lots of great museums here, like the Casa Rivera with a panoramic painting of Montevideo in the days of old. | | Days 5-7 | Ranch Stay | Things are simple down on the ranch - and you are sure to love every moment of this stay on a local estancia. Helping out with farm chores is a highlight, and could include anything from sheep herding to working in the garden. | | Days 8-10 | Iguazu Falls | Why not cross by launch boat to the Isla San Grand Martin for a unique view of the mighty falls? | | Days 11-12 | Parati | Head to the coastal town of Parati to explore the many trails and waterfalls of the surrounding national parks. | | Days 13-15 | Island Getaway | A blend of tropical beaches and rainforest, Ilha Grande is a spectacular place to getaway.
