BEST OF ARGENTINA & BRAZIL

BUENOS AIRES – IGUASSU – RIO DE JANEIRO

TRAVEL PERU SEAT-IN-COACH TOUR

 

Argentina – the second biggest state of South America, has a surface of 2.8 million square kilometres. The country has 33 million inhabitants and nearly half of them live in the surroundings of Buenos Aires, one of the most cosmopolitan cities of the world. Argentina is a fascinating land of contrasts where the exceptional is almost commonplace. It is home to an abundant wildlife, enjoys a unique culture, and delights in an astonishing variety of landscapes from the tropical rain forest in the north, to the remote vastness of the Antarctic in the South. Three big landscapes form the country: the Andes in the west, the northern and western flatland, and the wide plains of Patagonia in the South. This country, which is stretched in length, has three climatic zones: tropics in the north, moderate in the centre and polar in the extreme South. The Indian aborigines only live in the north-western Andean region and in the north-east province of Misiones. The rest of the population is mainly composed of European immigrants. The official language is Spanish, but in bigger towns English is also quite common. 

Brazil – with this term one associates endless Amazon jungle, wonderful beaches, Rio de Janeiro, carnival, and samba. This is all correct, but Brazil is much more, a huge country of the superlatives. Brazil is a country of immense proportions and contrasts and has a mysterious attraction for many people. With a surface of 8,5 million km², Brazil is approximately as big as Europe and covers half of the South American continent. The climate changes from the permanent warm tropical north to the sub-tropical variants, to the moderate South. Since the 16th century – when the Portuguese begun to settle in the country - Brazil has always had a magic attraction with foreigners. First there was the gold, then the rubber and coffee and today it is above all, the rhythm, and the exotic, that attracts tourists. The people from Brazil show a lot of happiness, kindness, and spontaneity. The biggest country of South America is a mirror of fascinating pictures.

This preserved colonial town was founded more than 280 years ago; with its cobbled streets, old bars (“Pulperías”) and Estancias, which has kept alive the gaucho lifestyle and customs.

Set on the banks of the peaceful “Areco” river, the town has retained the authentic atmosphere of a small old village with its “siesta” time, artisan´s shops and very relaxed people.

Over 30 different silversmiths make this town the centre of the traditional Argentinian silverworks known as “platería criolla”. In a variety of distinctive styles, they produce gaucho´s knives, jewellery, and many fine pieces of art, in their workshops open to the public.

Home to the oldest Gaucho Festival in the country, the “Día de la Tradición”, which is held in November, San Antonio gathers thousands of gauchos from all over Argentina.

Since 1939, there is an entire week of exhibitions, dances, folkloric music and displays of traditional gaucho skills on horseback.

This brought a surge of progress, and the city became the main cultural, political, and economic centre of the Portuguese empire. In 1889, when the republic was proclaimed, Rio was confirmed as the country's capital, which it remained until 1960, when the construction of the new capital, Brasilia, was founded.

Rio is situated in a 15-mile-strip of land, wedged between mountains and sea. There are some thirty miles separating downtown Flamengo, from far-flung Recreio, bordered on one side by the blue sea, on the other by verdant hills. Between them lies a colourful state of mind called CARIOCA, with almost 8 million locals who samba their way through life, relaxed and high-spirited.
