Buenos Aires melds European elegance with a Latin American spirit. Plaza de Mayo — the city’s historic heart — is a window into Argentina’s past. San Telmo’s cobblestone streets pulse with tango rhythms, while La Boca explodes in a kaleidoscope of color, its painted houses echoing the fervor of Bombonera stadium. As evening descends, Puerto Madero offers a modern counterpoint, the sleek district of repurposed warehouses now trendy restaurants and bars.
Delve deeper into the heart of Buenos Aires with a well-connected insider as you unlock its hidden corners, from an enigmatic labyrinth beneath the streets to the most captivating tango cabaret.
Escape the city and immerse yourself in the heart of the Pampas at Estancia La Bamba de Areco, a historic estancia a short drive from Buenos Aires. Experience the spirit of gaucho culture through captivating performances and learn to ride alongside skilled horsemen, savoring a traditional asado lunch beneath the Argentine sky.
Iguazú Falls, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Natural Wonders of the World, is a breathtaking spectacle straddling Argentina and Brazil. With 275 cascades dwarfing Niagara Falls, it’s a thunderous display of nature’s power. Explore the falls up close via a network of trails and footbridges, feeling the mist and observing vibrant wildlife, from toucans and monkeys to coatimundis and butterflies.
Experience Iguazu Falls like few others can as you journey through the Argentine side by train. Your exclusive base, the only hotel within Brazil’s Iguazú National Park, grants you privileged access to the falls before and after the crowds. Witness the magic of sunrise and sunset in this natural wonderland. You may also join a thrilling expedition that combines jeep safaris, nature walks and an exhilarating boat ride that brings you face-to-face with the thundering cascades.
The Carnival celebration in Rio de Janeiro may peak in late February, but the city’s energy lasts all year. From your vantage point along Copacabana Beach, relax and soak in the sun’s warmth while observing the rhythm of local life. Beyond the beach, Rio’s captivating attractions beckon, ready for exploration.
Your day begins with a scenic drive along the coast, passing sun-dappled beaches before venturing into the lush Tijuca National Forest. From the charming Cosme Velho neighborhood, ascend Corcovado Mountain aboard a cog-wheel train through the Atlantic rainforest. At the summit, the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue stands sentinel over the city. After a Brazilian barbecue lunch at a storied churrascaria, ascend Sugarloaf Mountain by cable car, where stunning city views unfold as the sun dips below the horizon.
Discover Vidigal, a vibrant community in the city’s South Zone. A&K Philanthropy has fostered a thriving project here, offering a unique opportunity to connect with inspiring local leaders driving positive change.
