Starting in Buenos Aires you head north through the top of Argentina close to Paraguay arriving at Puerto Iguazu, the gateway to Iguazu Falls. On the borders of Brazil and Argentina, with a span of nearly three kilometres and a height of 80 metres, the falls are surrounded by rainforest and are home to the typical wildlife of the region: tapirs, giant anteaters, howler monkeys, ocelots, jaguars and caymans. Next you head onwards to Florianopolis on Brazil’s Atlantic coast, and then heading north to Sao Paulo with an optional stop in Curitaba should you wish. Paraty is the next destination, before moving onto Ilha Grande. A stopover is included and there is easy access to the island.
