Photo Gallery

 

Our Holiday adventure
pairs the two passionate
countries of Argentina
and Brazil in a dramatic

T A N G O

  
  The tour begins
in gorgeous
Buenos Aires		  
  Spend Christmas Eve
on a Estancia (ranch)
where you can ride
in a carriage . . .		  
  . . . or explore the
property on horseback		  
  Tour the most
impressive sights
of Buenos Aires, including
the Plaza de Mayo		  
  Teatro Colón, the most
famous Opera House in
South America, reopens
in May 2008 after being
closed for rennovation		  
  See the quaint and
colorful neighborhoods
for which Buenos
Aires is famous		  
  Visit the beautiful
cemetery in the
Recoleta district with
the graves of some of
Argentina's greats, . . .		  
  . . . including the Peron
family, and its most
famous member: Evita		  
  Soldiers stand guard
at the Tomb of the
Unknown Soldier		  
 

Tango is celebrated
everywhere, even on
busy shopping streets

You might learn a few
steps yourself during
a special class

  
 

Next stop on the
tour is at the spectacular
Iguacu Falls, straddling
the border between
Argentina and Brazil

View of the falls
from our hotel

  
  A coatimundi is
observed by Toto Tourists
in front of the
Tropical Hotel		  
  In addition to its incomparable
location at the Falls, the hotel
has beautiful grounds and
a lovely swimming pool		  
  We tour both the Brazilian
and Argentinian sides
of the Falls, walking on
sturdy catwalks to
dramatic overlooks		  
  Raingear is a good
idea, as the mist from the
Falls can be drenching		  
  A cute little train
takes us between
portions of the Falls
on the Argentinian side		  
 

The thunderous drop known
as the “Devil's Throat”
was featured in the movie,
“The Mission” when a priest is
sent over the falls lashed
to a wooden cross

  
  The catwalks take
you to places that
provide amazing
photo backdrops		  
  They also take you right
to the edge of some
precipitous drops		  
  You will take
more photos than
you ever thought
you would want to		  
  Around every corner
is one more amazing
scene of the Falls
from a new angle		  
  One of the tour's
highlights is called
a Macuco Safari, which
you might later call the
“cuckoo” safari . . .		  
  . . . as you find yourself
hurtling along at high
speeds toward . . .		  
  . . . the ever greater
thunder of Iguacu Falls		  
  Here the camera gets
put away, for in the next
few minutes you are
charging right into the
awesome power (and
wetness) of Iguacu Falls		  
  Prepare to get
wet and make
memories of
a lifetime		  
  Finally, we head to
vibrant Rio de Janiero
for New Years at
a beachfront hotel
(the bluish glass building)
on Copacabana Beach		  
  During our first evening
in Rio we ascend
Sugar Loaf Mountain
at the golden hour
of sunset		  
  It is a perfect
setting to take a
photo suitable for
your next Holiday card		  
  Watch the marvelous
city light up at your feet		  
  Next day ascend
Corcovado Mountain
for a close-up view
of one of the new
Seven Wonders
of the World		  
  The view from the
foot of the Statue
is magnificent
in all directions		  
  Our time in Rio is
relaxed for maximum
enjoyment of the
beach and nightlife		  
  A walk along the
waterfront leads to the
Copacabana Fort		  
  Here you can see
some big guns that
seem aimed at the city		  
  For big guns of another
variety, continue walking
to the gay beach at Ipanema		  
  The festivities reach a
crescendo on New
Years Eve . . .		  
  . . . with a dazzling
fireworks display
including one high-rise
which becomes a
cascade of fire		  
  Let the sun rise
on your 2009 in
the magical city of
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
