We'll be dining and partying in Buenos Aires, wandering the cobblestone streets of Colonia, be jaw dropped at the beauty of Iguassu Falls, lounging on the clear beaches of Paraty, and shaking our tooshies in Rio.
Once again, these trips are not for those expecting luxury accommodations and baggage porters. We are traveling on a budget. These trips are for us to see and do as much as we can in 14 days. We don't care about fancy hotels, just something clean, safe and close to where the action is.
