LAKES, WINES & WATERFALLS

Chile and Argentina are lands of extreme contrasts, and this two-week trip highlights their rich and varied landscapes. The placid emerald waters and picture-perfect volcanoes of the Lake District are the polar opposites of the lush subtropical forests which surround the mighty Iguassu Falls, and the rolling vineyards of Mendoza are set against the dramatic jagged peaks of the high Andes. The beautiful and ever-changing landscapes we see on the way are complemented by some of South America's finest cuisine and excellent wines, as well as a taste of the rural and urban cultures of both countries.
