Iguazu Falls

Cascading down the Iguazu River, the Iguazu Falls, one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World, are situated on the border of Brazil and Argentina. The river emerges from thick jungle only for its wealth of water to crash down in one of the most dramatic displays of nature’s beauty and power. The sheer height and thundering noise of the water will take your breath away.

Falklands Island Hopper

Mainly known to the world as the site of the 1982 Falklands War, there is much more to this unique archipelago.

Keep your eyes peeled for the Falklands Steamer Duck and don’t forget to try a traditional Falkland mutton chop breakfast.

Easter Island

Easter Island is the most remote inhabited island in the world. Isolated in the Pacific Ocean, much of the island is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is famous for its archaeological sites. Visit the island to learn more about its unique history and discover the moai, almost 900 mysterious monoliths carved by the Rapa Nui people. Look up at the massive heads and marvel at the creative and physical feat of the inhabitants who built them.

Mendoza

In the eastern foothills of the Andes, Mendoza is at the heart of South America’s largest wine-producing area. The famous Malbec wines originate from Mendoza’s high-altitude wine regions Lujan de Cuyo and the Uco Valley. Enjoy a fine food tour around the region’s many wineries (bodegas) and clink glasses while staying at a traditional estancia (a working cattle ranch) with the majestic Andes Mountains as a backdrop.
