  • Days 1-2

    Buenos Aires, Argentina

    Get started in Argentina's lively capital. Plan your first dinner in San Telmo or Palermo after 9 PM when locals typically eat. "The guided city tour through Plaza de Mayo and colorful La Boca was excellent - just bring water and comfortable shoes as there's quite a bit of walking."

    
  • Days 3-4

    Iguazu Falls

    Book a morning flight to Iguazu. You'll need about 2 hours to get from downtown Buenos Aires to the airport. Take your time to see both sides of the falls. The Brazilian side gives you wide open views while the Argentine side lets you walk right up to the water. A recent visitor shared: "The Argentine side's Devil's Throat walkway was incredible but gets very crowded by 11 AM - go first thing in the morning and bring a raincoat!" The boat ride to the bottom of the falls costs $90 but most visitors say it's worth it. You'll need a change of clothes and waterproof protection for your camera. If you're interested in aerial views, book a morning helicopter tour when visibility is best.

    
  • Days 5-7

    Rio de Janeiro

    After a 2-hour flight to Rio, spend your first afternoon at Sugarloaf Mountain. Get there by 4 PM to catch sunset without long lines. Visit Christ the Redeemer early the next morning on the 8 AM cable car to beat the crowds. One traveler noted: "The Santa Teresa neighborhood felt authentic but the hills are steep - take an Uber up and walk down through the colorful Selaron Steps." Spend your last day at Copacabana or Ipanema beaches. Look for the marked swimming areas as the waves can get rough. Beach chairs and umbrellas are available for $5-10.

    Rio de Janeiro

    Begin your adventure in Rio, the marvelous city (cidade maravilhosa). On arrival day, check into your hotel and take it easy with a relaxed walk along Copacabana Beach. Save your swim for another day when you're not tired from traveling. Start day two with an early visit to Sugar Loaf Mountain. The cable cars begin operating at 8 AM, and morning offers the clearest views across the bay. Take the second cable car straight to the 395-meter summit before it gets hot. A recent visitor noted: "The views of Guanabara Bay were incredible, but bring water and sun protection – there's little shade at the top." Visit Christ the Redeemer later in the day when the afternoon clouds often lift. The cog train up Corcovado Mountain provides better views than the van service. You'll get 20 minutes of scenic Tijuca rainforest views on the way up. Book your train tickets online to avoid long waiting times. Use day three to explore Rio freely. Start in the artistic Santa Teresa neighborhood (the old-style tram is a fun ride up), then spend your afternoon at Ipanema Beach. Look for the area between Posts 8-9. It's a favorite spot among locals and perfect for watching Rio life unfold.

Your arrival afternoon is perfect for visiting the Three Borders Landmark where Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay intersect. Spend all of day five on the Argentine side, which has most of the waterfalls. Begin with the Lower Circuit for close-up views, then ride the park train to Devil's Throat. One visitor's experience: "Walking along the catwalk to Devil's Throat was mind-blowing – the power of the falls literally shakes the platform. Go early and bring a waterproof case for your phone!" Cross to the Brazilian side on day six (remember your passport and visa requirements). This side offers stunning panoramic views along its 1,200-meter walkway. Consider visiting the Bird Park in the morning to see toucans and macaws up close. Use your final morning for last-minute activities before departing. Check your flight details carefully as you might leave from either Puerto Iguazu (IGR) or Foz do Iguaçu (IGU) airports. They're only 25 minutes apart but in different countries.
