Destination Tips

  • Bueno Aires is the city that doesn't sleep. Restaurants get going at 9pm, bars at midnight and clubs at 2am at the earliest; serious clubbers don't show up until 4am. BA's diverse range of bars, clubs and live-music venues offers something for everyone.

  • From the peak of Corcovado, you will see why Rio is called the Marvellous City. This seaside beauty hosts outstanding outdoor adventures: hiking, cycling, sailing, and surfing, rock climbing and hang gliding amid one of the world's most stunning urban landscapes.

  • South America is an incredible diverse destination, from the Amazon, to the coffee plantations and beaches in the North, or Patagonia and the gateway to Antarctica in South.
