9-Day South America Samba Tour from Rio de Janeiro: Iguassu Falls and Buenos Aires

A well-organized tour covering three amazing destinations. Rio's energy is contagious, Iguassu Falls is a natural wonder, and Buenos Aires has fantastic tango and food. The optional tango dinner show was worth every penny. Hotels were comfortable and centrally located.
